Amazon Prime Video continues to expand its portfolio of high-profile gaming adaptations. The streaming giant has officially shared the first production still from its upcoming God of War series, offering fans a glimpse into the visual direction of this ambitious live-action project.
The shared image features Ryan Hurst and Callum Vinson as the iconic father-son duo, Kratos and Atreus. The production team accompanied the reveal with a brief but evocative caption: “Father and Son. Behold your first look at Kratos and Atreus in the God of War series now in production. Their journey to the highest peak begins.”
The series draws its primary inspiration from the acclaimed 2018 title, which successfully transitioned the franchise into the realm of Norse mythology. The plot focuses on the weathered Kratos as he mentors his young son during a treacherous journey through hostile realms. Notably, the casting of characters from the sequel, Ragnarök, suggests that showrunner Ronald D. Moore intends to weave a comprehensive narrative covering the entire Norse saga from the start.
