Amazon MGM Studios chief Jennifer Salke has teased a God of War series that could be coming to the streaming platform following the success of Fallout.
Fallout’s successful first season earned the adaptation of the Bethesda game franchise an impressive 16 Emmy nominations, with work on season two already underway, and further games will be receiving their own series.
Tomb Raider has already been announced and, speaking to Variety, as reported by Eurogamer, Salke hinted that God of War could be next up after teasing fans to “stay tuned” for further announcements and admitting her love for the PlayStation franchise.
Salke explained that she and Amazon head of TV Vernon Sanders had found a “few things” that warrant a TV adaptation and that “there are some other things definitely percolating” alongside Tomb Raider.
It seems fans won’t have to wait too much longer to learn about new projects. Salke said news can be expected “soon rather than later,” but the development process could take a while for any new series as they “don’t want to rush it.”
Amazon’s success with Fallout caps off a strong period for video game adaptations on TV. The Last of Us was also successful but hasn’t been seen everywhere, with the Halo series on Paramount being axed.
A series like God of War has a long, long list of angles and inspirations that can be taken from the long-running PlayStation franchise, which would give any creator the scope to carve out their own story while sticking true to the source material.
Fans would certainly welcome any news on a God of War TV adaptation, and we’ll just have to cross our fingers that it materializes.
