Sony has released a new trailer for its upcoming God of War game, giving fans some background information on Kratos’ son Atreus. The video, which was first shown to PlayStation Experience 2017 attendees, is a guided tour of the boy’s first adventure in which he follows “strange voices beyond the woods near his home.”
In addition to the above, Santa Monica studio has offered brief previews of some of the equipment that we’ll be using in the game. Over on Twitter, the developer showcased the Leviathan Axe, Atreus’ handcrafted bow, and Kratos’ shield. You can check them out below:
