It’s now official: the television series God of Warco -produced by Amazon and Sony, will start its production in March 2026. Hopefully since its announcement in 2022, this adaptation of the famous video game finally crossed a CAP, and the first confirmed details are only amplifying the impatience of fans.
The project will not take the form of a new game on PlayStation, but a series in real shots. This is what internal sources have revealed to Nexus no news this weekend, confirming that Santa Monica Studio is 100 % mobilized on this project, although recurring leaks have scrambled the tracks in recent months.
A writing room up to expectations
What immediately caught the attention of players’ communities was the identity of the writers gathered around the Ronald D. Moore show. Known for his work on Battlestar Galactica And For all mankindMoore is also a producer of the series and will coat the script with several seasoned feathers: Stephanie Shannon (For all mankind), Joe Menosky (Star Trek: Discovery) and Marc D. Bernardin (Star Trek: Picard).
The fans welcomed this ad enthusiastically, as evidenced by comments on the R/Gamingleaksandrumours forum. One of the users praised this team: “This is the writing room that I would have liked to see for their Mass Effect series. Full of science fiction talents.” Another added: “Ronald Moore has a fantastic track record, so I have great hopes for that!” While a third is already getting carried away: “Zut, Ronald D. Moore and Naren Shankar? I’m ready!”
An adaptation faithful to the 2018 game
So few elements of the scenario have been revealed for the moment, Ronald D. Moore had entrusted in an interview to IGN that the game God of War From 2018 would be “an inspiration for history”. A choice that seems to reassure the purists of the franchise, as this opus had marked a turning point in the narration and the depth of the character of Kratos.
The involvement of Sony and Santa Monica Studio in the process suggests a faithful adaptation to the dark and mythological universe of the saga. For the time being, no actor has been announced in the main role. But with a production scheduled for March 2026, speculation on the interpreter of Kratos should quickly multiply.
A feverish wait before the great unveiling
Between excitement and prudence, fans of God of War scrutinize each new information. The combination of an experienced showrunner, renowned authors from science fiction, and from the support of the creators of the original game arouses a palpable craze. It remains to be seen whether the choice of casting will be up to expectations.
