'''''God of War III''''' is an [[Action Adventure]] game developed by [[Santa Monica Studio]] and published by [[Sony Computer Entertainment]]. A sequel to 2007's ''[[God of War II]]'',
Picking up where the [[Cliffhanger]] of ''God of War II'' left off, Kratos - who has held the title of God of War ever since slaying Ares in [[God of War (video game)|the very fist game]] - has rescued the Titans from their defeat in the Great War and declared the second Titanomachy against the Olympian Gods. The Titans climb their way up Mount Olympus itself to confront Zeus and his supporters, with Kratos standing on the back of Gaia and declaring that he has brought the destruction of Olympus. The divine inhabitants of Olympus bring the fight to the Titans, with the sea god Poseidon confronting Kratos directly as the opening battle of the game.
Upon defeating and killing Poseidon, Kratos confronts the King of the Gods, who blasts him and Gaia off Mount Olympus without even a fight. Gaia dismisses Kratos as just a pawn and refuses to help him as he falls, leaving him to [[Once Per Episode|fall into the Underworld]] [[Bag of Spilling|and lose a good chunk of his powers in the process]]. While carving his way out of Hades, Kratos meets an unexpected familiar face: the [[Late Arrival Spoiler|now-dead Athena, who exists as a ghost-like entity]]. She surprises Kratos by offering him her assistance in killing Zeus - but in order to do so, Kratos must retrieve the box of Pandora from Mount Olympus, with the Olympian Gods
The game features a revamped magic system, a wider variety of enemies, and improved [[Fixed Camera]] angles; gameplay is similar to previous installments, with combo-focused combat and a selection of various weapons acquired through the game, and various [[Quick Time Event]]s. Kratos can be equipped with up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability.

* [[Ancient Greece]]: The setting of the game, naturally. {{spoiler|
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Kratos is a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V]] here, motivated by nothing more than vengeance. Not even the natural disaster he unleashes by killing Poseidon gives him any cause for regret... {{spoiler|but regret comes to him eventually}}.
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: Revealed to be the fate of {{spoiler|Athena at the end of the previous game. Thanks to her [[Heroic Sacrifice|saving the life of Zeus]], she has become an angel-like creature that lives along the River Styx. She's also fully transparent}}.
