Sony Interactive Entertainment’s God of War is currently available at a 50% discount on Steam, reducing the game’s price to ₹1,649 until December 21. This promotion represents the lowest price point the critically acclaimed title has reached on the platform thus far.
Developed by Santa Monica Studio, God of War departs from its original Greek mythology setting and instead draws inspiration from Norse mythology, immersing players in the ancient Scandinavian realm of Midgard. The narrative revolves around the father-son duo of Kratos, the former Greek God of War, and his young son Atreus. Their journey is fueled by Kratos’ late second wife Faye’s dying wish, which implores them to scatter her ashes atop the highest peak spanning the nine realms.
Embarking on their odyssey, Kratos and Atreus traverse the rich tapestry of Norse mythology, encountering both familiar allies and formidable adversaries. A distinctive element of their journey lies in Kratos safeguarding a closely held secret—Atreus’s true identity—a revelation withheld throughout their ventures.
Originally launched on April 20, 2018, as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, God of War expanded its horizons with a momentous release on January 14, 2022, for the PC platform, marking a historic milestone for the main series. Jetpack Interactive assumes stewardship of the PC version, augmenting the gaming experience with cutting-edge features like DLSS support and ultra-widescreen compatibility.
