Santa Monica Studios has announced that a new documentary called Raising Kratos will show the journey of the three year development of God of War. The announcement was made during the God of War one year anniversary celebration.
There is now more details as to when the documentary will be aired. However, the video will be shown on PlayStation’s YouTube channel. It is also confirmed that it will be a full-length feature documentary. Check out the trailer of the documentary below:
In a blog post, PlayStation’s Game Development Head of Worldwide Studios Scott Rhode wrote,
The ultimate goal was to go beyond a ‘making of’ piece and dig deeper into the experiences of those who spend relentless time and effort into making something great.
All creative endeavors, especially those of this magnitude, require an incredible amount of dedication and focus that constantly toe the fine line that separates both success and failure. The hope is that once people see the experience of Santa Monica Studio unfold on the screen, they will recognize the undying passion for their work and the incredible respect they have for their craft.
The documentary is an exploration into the massive undertaking it took to change the course of the God of War franchise. It also gives us a chance to see the stories of people who created this work of art.
We will get to see the cinematic journey of the three year production, and 400 hours of footage, that show the journey of second chances rooting in family, sacrifice, struggle and doubt.
God of War released in 2018 and was so popular that it sold 3.1 million copies in just three days after launch. It went on to win 5 BAFTA awards and won Game of the Year at the GDC Game Awards.
