Emboldened by the success of Uncharted at the global box office, Sony is now reportedly in talks with Amazon Prime Video for a live-action adaptation of God of War.
According to Deadline, the live-action God of War TV series will be led by Mark Fergus and Hawk Otsby. The two are best known for their work on The Expanse. Joining the duo is Rafe Judkins, the executive producer of The Wheel of Time. In addition, Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions will also be helping out, suggesting that this is a massive undertaking that could change the trajectory of the series going forward.
With 52 million units sold, God of War is one of Sony's best-selling franchises. But, unlike Uncharted, which, despite the high-flying set action pieces, is still very much rooted in relative reality, God of War is a fantasy franchise that initially saw Kratos make short work of the Greek pantheon for over a decade before moving to the Norse gods following the 2018 soft reboot.
