Whatever happens next, the God of War series has plenty of material to mine from. First debuting on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, Kratos began his rampage through the pantheon of Greek gods, with his story eventually culminating in a brutal climb up Mount Olympus in 2010's God of War 3 – if you don't count the various spin-offs and prequels.

Yumi Yang and Cory Barlog of God of War developer Santa Monica Studio are still attached to the TV show as executive producers, as are Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Yumi Land, and Roy Lee. Moving forward, Amazon and Sony reportedly plan to put together an entirely new group of writers for God of War and essentially start over from scratch.

Amazon's God of War adaptation has reportedly started from scratch following the departure of its showrunner. That's according to Deadline, which reported that Rafe Judkins had left the show alongside executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. This is despite multiple scripts having been completed for the first season.
