The first God of War was released in 2005 and it was the beginning of one of the most iconic video game series of all time. With Kratos as a protagonist, the game allowed players to immerse themselves in a universe where the mighty warrior fought against all odds to claim vengeance from the Greek pantheon. The game's impressive visuals, addictive action-based gameplay, and legendary weapons soon made it one of the biggest hits ever released on PlayStation consoles, and God of War became one of the flagships of Sony's platforms. The first game was followed by several installments, each of them better than the previous one, and Santa Monica Studio consolidated its position as a noteworthy video game developer in a process that culminated with the release of God of War: Ragnarok, the latest installment in the popular series which is now available also on PC.
