These seven games comprised the Greek era of the series. God of War (2005), created by Sony's Santa Monica Studio, was the inaugural game in the series, the main part of which continued with God of War II (2007), God of War III (2010), and series prequel Ascension (2013) and side games Betrayal (2007), Chains of Olympus (2008), and Ghost of Sparta (2010). Their journey to keep a promise to the boy's late mother ends with Kratos and Atreus becoming enemies to the Norse gods, and ultimately set about the events of Ragnarök, a catastrophic event that the Allfather Odin was desperate to prevent, but ultimately ends with Odin's death and the destruction of Asgard. Many years following the destruction of Olympus, Kratos ends up in Midgard fathering a son named Atreus (known to prophecy as Loki) with the Jötunn warrior Faye.

The constant machinations of the gods and Titans and their misuse of Kratos eventually drive him to destroy Mount Olympus.

Although Kratos becomes the new God of War, he is still plagued by nightmares and is eventually betrayed by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods-revealed by the goddess Athena to be Kratos' father. The character finally avenges his family by killing his former master and manipulator, Ares, the God of War.

The overall story arc focuses on the series' primary playable single-player character, the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior haunted by visions of himself accidentally killing his wife and child. A number of original characters have also been created to supplement storylines. As such, the series features a range of traditional figures, including those from Greek mythology, such as the Olympian Gods, Titans, and Greek heroes, and those from Norse mythology, including the Æsir and Vanir gods and other beings. The characters of the God of War video game franchise belong to a fictional universe based on Greek mythology and Norse mythology. Behind the characters are several monsters from the game.
