Ronald D. Moore adapts the games. He previously adapted the series Battlestar Galactica and Outlander.
The series is based on the two most recent God of War games. It will focus on Kratos and his son, Atreus.
Previous games will be part of Kratos' backstory as a Spartan warrior who sold his soul to Ares for victory.
