It was never in question that God of War would return. The franchise is one of Sony's most successful exclusives of the last decade, and the main trilogy of games were both critically acclaimed and hugely popular. But the ending of God of War III seemed to put a pretty definitive end on the series, while the relatively lackluster prequel God of War: Ascension that came a few years later showed that Sony had pretty much run out of ways to continue telling the story of its anti-hero, Kratos.
That is, unless developer Santa Monica Studios made a break from the series' past, changed the gameplay, left Greek mythology behind and, most importantly, show us a more human side of Kratos than we've ever seen before. Judging from the preview of the forthcoming God of War that kicked off Sony's E3 event, that's exactly what's happened, and it completely reinvigorated my interest in a series that felt like it had nothing left to say.
