Amazon is reportedly working out a deal to develop a live-action God of War series for Prime Video.

Several streamers are turning to video game IP to grow their catalog. Netflix has found much success with The Witcher, while Paramount Plus is looking to catch some steam with their live-action Halo series, and HBO is working on a Last of Us adaptation. Amazon is also looking to video game franchises, with a series based on Fallout in the pipeline. According to Deadline, the God of War series appears to be getting the live-action treatment next, with Amazon in talks to develop a series.

God of War is one of Sony’s premier pieces of video game IP, which launched in 2005. The Expanse creators Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and The Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins would develop the new series with Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions for Amazon Prime Video.

Sony’s God Of War follows the story of Kratos, a spartan warrior who made a pact with the Greek god of war, Ares. Before being killed off by an enemy, Ares gave Kratos the power of the Blades of Chaos to vanquish almost anyone who stood in his way in the name of the gods. After finding out that Ares lied to him, leading him to kill his own wife and daughter, Kratos went on a rampage to enact revenge on all of Olympus. After finding out that Zeus himself was his father and wanted to kill him as well, Kratos ends up butchering him and fleeing to the Nordic region. The most recent iteration of the God Of War franchise pits Kratos against Norse foes while he journeys to spread his late new wife’s ashes with his son, Atreus.
