50 free God of War trivia questions with answers. Boy. This quiz covers the whole God of War series, from the 2005 PlayStation 2 original through the Greek trilogy, the PSP side games and Ascension, to the 2018 reboot, Ragnarök, Valhalla, Sons of Sparta and the Laufey game announced for 2027. Fifty questions run through Kratos's tragedy and the ashes that made him the Ghost of Sparta, Pandora's Box, the Sisters of Fate, the Leviathan Axe, Atreus, Mímir, Baldur, Freya, Thor and Odin, plus the studios, directors, composers, voice actors, sales records and awards behind it all. The easy questions ask what Kratos's chained blades are called and who plays him in the Norse games; the hard ones want the mobile phone game that never came to PlayStation, the game engine named after Santa Monica's first title, the number of Game Awards Ragnarök won and the actor first cast as Kratos in the Amazon series. It suits players who platinumed every entry and anyone who has only met Kratos through memes. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the franchise, the individual games and Kratos, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
