After developing TV shows for Mass Effect and Fallout, Prime Video is now eyeing GodOfWar to be their next video game adaptation.
Amazon Prime Video is eyeing a live-action adaptation of Sony's hit God of War video game series. Sony launched the God of War video game franchise in 2005, and it wasn't too long afterward that Hollywood took interest in the property. Despite the poor track record video game adaptations have, Universal originally tried to make a movie. The development of the God of War movie included hiring Pacific Rim's writers in 2012.
The story of God of War follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior based on Greek mythology who becomes the"God of War." The action-adventure video games have become Sony's flagship franchise for the Playstation consoles over the last 17 years. There have been five entries in the main God of War franchise to this point, with the highly anticipated sixth entry, God of War Rangarök, scheduled to release sometime in 2022.
If Prime Video does adapt God of War, it will be the latest high-profile video game to get a TV adaptation. Amazon is already familiar with this territory as it is moving forward with plans for a Fallout series starring Walton Goggins and is also developing a Mass Effect TV show. The movement on a God of War adaptation takes another major video game franchise off the table as streaming services continue to mine these properties for adaptations.
The potential for a live-action God of War series is quite exciting. The video games have a massive following and are widely considered to be some of the best games Sony has ever produced. It also comes at a time when some other major video games are becoming TV shows.
