Making subjectivity useful.
PS5 - 2/12/2026
Every legend has a beginning – before he was a God, before he was a father, Kratos was a young Spartan! Experience an untold chapter in Kratos’ journey set during the harsh years of Spartan training alongside his brother Deimos. Through endless trials, their minds, bodies, and hearts have been molded to become Spartan soldiers for whom duty and honor mean everything. After a fellow cadet goes missing, Kratos and Deimos vow to find him and embark on an adventure that will put their training and Spartan spirit to the test.
