Kratos mourns the death of his wife and sets out on a treacherous journey with his estranged son, Atreus, to fulfill her dying wish — spreading her ashes from the highest peak. However, on this adventure, Kratos is forced to fight all kinds of new Gods and monsters as his bond with his son is tested.
