A full-length feature documentary about the making of God of War will be releasing on the official PlayStation Youtube channel next week, according to a tweet from Santa Monica Studios. Due to release on May 10 at 12.01AM PT/ 3.01AM ET/ 8.01AM BST, the God of War documentary will detail the five-year journey it took to bring the game to life.

God of War released last year to critical acclaim, and the joy of fans, as it took the series in a new direction. The game centered around Kratos attempting to fulfill the last wish of his wife, who has passed away. With his son in tow, he sets out on a perilous journey that features incredible combat, and a whole lot of soul searching and self-discovery.

Raising Kratos documents the five year, herculean effort to reinvent one of the greatest stories in gaming, God of War. Facing an unknown future, Santa Monica Studio took a massive risk, fundamentally changing their beloved franchise and re-establishing their rightful place in video game history. More than just a “making of,” this cinematic journey of second chances rooted in family, sacrifice, struggle and doubt follows game director Cory Barlog and those who chase perfection in art and storytelling. Witness the incredible defeats, the unpredictable outcomes and the down-to-the-wire tension on full display in this true-life redemption story.

Winner of countless Game of the Year Awards, and four BAFTAs, the game became an instant classic, with many people considering it a near-perfect gaming experience.

It has been a good time for gaming documentaries lately. With NoClip regularly releasing high-quality documentaries about various games, the recent Netflix released a documentary about For Honor, and now this. I’d love to see similar projects centered around other games, as it is a great way to see the game making process, learn about the people who work so hard to make them, and gain a better understanding of the highs and lows of game development.

To watch God of War: Raising Kratos, be sure to keep an eye on the Playstation Youtube channel on May 10.
