God of War: New Comic Bridges the Gap Between GoW III and PS4 Game

There's a large time gap separating the events of God of War III and 2018's God of War, and now fans will finally learn what happened to Kratos during that lost era. As revealed by CBR, Dark Horse Comics is bridging the gap between the two games in the form of a new series called God of War: Fallen God. Unlike Dark Horse's previous God of War comic, which takes place shortly before the events of the Playstation 4 game, Fallen God is set further back in the franchise's timeline. The series will trace Kratos' journey after defeating Zeus, Athena and the remaining Greek pantheon in God of War III. Even as Kratos attempts to move on and start a new family, he finds himself grappling with mental instability and the realization that he's his own worst enemy.

God of War: Fallen God follows Kratos after conquering Zeus and thwarting Athena. Believing himself to be finally free of his bondage, he sets sail for the desert in an attempt to distance himself from his home and his shame only to find his rage and guilt follow close behind. Kratos rages against the one foe that has proven to be unconquerable—himself. But a war against oneself is unwinnable, and only invites madness.

Fallen God reunites the creative team behind the previous God of War comic, writer Chris Roberson and artist Tony Parker. They'll also be joined by colorist Dan Jackson, letterer John Roshell and cover artist Dave Rapoza. Look for the first issue to release on June 24, 2020.

Here's a breakdown of what each of Sony's first party studios are working on right now, and our picks for the nine sequels that could make the Playstation 5 a force to be reckoned with.
