According to interview with Comicbook, the franchise’s creator, David Jaffe (Twisted Metal, Mickey Mania) give his own thoughts on the project, “I’m sure everybody’s trying real hard, [but] it’s so dumb. But let’s be incredibly clear, okay? Two things can be true. This can be a terrible image, and it is. It’s so bad in so many ways, which we’ll talk about in a moment. And Ron Moore is awesome, who is the showrunner… This guy is a juggernaut of a talented fellow. I have absolutely no doubt it is going to be a good show.”
At the moment, the God of War series has currently started production, and no further information has been revealed on its release date, but it is rumored for late 2027. With Amazon Studios at the helm of the project, the series will surely be a big hit and be amongst other related game-based shows such as Fallout.
