God of Warhad a triumphant return in 2018. The game managed to introduce Norse mythology alongside a compelling journey for protagonist Kratos and his son Atreus. While the dust settles from the violent but compelling return of the series, the director of the game has suggested that a Netflix version of the story would be interesting. There are very few fans who would disagree with this idea, although it doesn’t seem like there are any plans for such a series yet.

Since its release, many have pondered where the new story would lead and how the new ideas which were introduced would be expanded upon. With the deeper character provided in the latest installment, it is no wonder that some fans would like to see a series of content around the story.

Creative director of theGod of Warfranchise, Cory Barlog, replied to a tweet that asked about which IP would lend itself to a Netflix-style series. The response of Barlog got many fans excited and it is not too hard to imagine a series on the back of the success ofThe Witcher. Barlog later expanded on his response “I just believe that games would make great TV shows because you spend so much time with the characters in fantastic worlds.” It is hard to argue with that reasoning and despite Barlog denying that this was not a hint of the IP’s future, many will wish it was.
