The highly anticipated God of War live-action TV series is undergoing a complete creative reboot. Several key producers have departed, leading to a fresh start for the project. Read on for details on the departures and the future plans of Sony and Amazon.
Recent reports confirm that the God of War series is restarting from the beginning. Showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus have left the project, despite reportedly completing multiple scripts. Sony and Amazon have opted for a different creative vision.
However, key figures remain attached. Cory Barlog (Santa Monica Studio’s Creative Director) continues as executive producer, alongside Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan (PlayStation Productions), Roy Lee (Vertigo), and Yumi Yang (Santa Monica Studio). Amazon and Sony will now seek a new showrunner, producers, and writers to redefine the series' direction. The project remains firmly in development.
The Amazon and Sony partnership for the God of War adaptation was announced in 2022 on a PlayStation podcast, following the success of the 2018 game reboot. This initiative reflects Sony’s broader strategy of adapting its popular video game franchises into film and television. This led to the formation of PlayStation Productions in 2019. The announcement included a Netflix adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn, among other projects.
Successful adaptations already released include Naughty Dog’s Uncharted (2022) and the critically acclaimed The Last of Us (2023), with a second season slated for 2025. Other releases include the Gran Turismo film (2023) and the Twisted Metal TV series (2024). Furthermore, projects currently in development include Gravity Rush, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, and the Until Dawn film, set for release on April 25, 2025.
