The director of 2018’s God of War has called for the game to be adapted into a Netflix series, and it absolutely needs to happen. Ever since Netflix’s The Witcher landed on the streaming platform last year, people have eagerly been awaiting more adaptations of their favourite games, and God of War would be perfect.
Santa Monica Studio top dog, Cory Barlog, recently took to Twitter to share the same opinion. He retweeted an article that asked which other game IPs deserve the Netflix treatment, to which Barlog added: “God. Of. War. (At least, I think so)”
He followed up the tweet with a little explanation, sadly admitting that there’s nothing in the works for a God of War show (for now).
“BTW This is not a hint or anything. I just believe that games would make great TV shows because you spend so much time with the characters in fantastic worlds,” tweeted Barlog.
“Games, like TV, are like relationships with the characters, where movies are more like a date. Both can be great.”
This isn’t the first time that Barlog has mentioned the idea of a GoW series, so it’s hopefully something we might one day see.
Last year, Barlog responded to rumours about a show being in the words, saying it’s not yet on the cards. He then cheekily added: “I wonder if we should do something about that, Netflix?”
Personally, if Netflix could do with God of War what they’ve done with The Witcher then I’d be more than happy. However, with Santa Monica Studio clearly gearing up for its next project, the team might be a little too busy to lend their talents to a television series.
