PlayStation fans looking forward to the nextGod of Wargame would love even a bit of information about the sequel. Yet, for now, the sequel’s development hasn’t even been confirmed.God of Wardeveloper Sony Santa Monica Studio is definitely hard at work on something, though. In the meantime,God of Warfans will have to settle for what is confirmed. Such being the newly announcedGod of Warcomic from Dark Horse.
What’s most exciting aboutGod of War: Fallen Godis that it’s a prequel to the game released in 2018. It’ll take place in theyears betweenGod of War 3andGod of War, the time when Kratos rediscovered himself. In fact,God of War: Fallen Godapparently takes place right after Kratos defeats Zeus and Athena inGod of War 3.

“Believing himself to be finally free of his bondage, [Kratos] sets sail for the desert in an attempt to distance himself from his home and his shame only to find his rage and guilt close behind,” reads the description forGod of War: Fallen Godprovided byDark Horse. It continues, noting that “a war against oneself is unwinnable, and only invites madness.” Odds are Kratos will encounter other enemies along the way. It is a comic book after all. But it will be interesting to see how well the comic captures an introspective Kratos, too.
God of War: Fallen Godwill be written by Chris Roberson, whose previous work includes the previousGod of Warcomic and various work inHellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1953-1955. He has an extensive relationship with Dark Horse, including with licensed properties likeAliens.
Doing art onGod of War: Fallen Godwill be Tony Parker, who partnered with Chris Roberson on theirpreviousGod of Warcomic. Parker is an Eisner-nominated artist perhaps best known forMaydayandThis Damned Band.
Unlike the firstGod of Warcomic, which was set prior to theGod of Wargame but didn’t expand much beyond the game’s story,God of War: Fallen Godis an exciting opportunity. The years between theGod of War 3andGod of Wargames are a subject most fans very much want to hear about. While Kratos' biggest secrets will likely be reserved forGod of Warsequel game, the comic will hopefully explore themed and adventures that will build on and make the games all the better.
God of War: Fallen God’s first issue releases June 24.
