The popular gaming franchise God of War is preparing for a television adaptation, but the latest news may cause concern among fans, NotebookChek reports.
Ronald D. Moore, the showrunner of the upcoming series, who previously worked on Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Trek, confirmed in an interview that Amazon has ordered two seasons of the show and that he is currently working on the script with the writing team.
However, he also admitted that he has never played any of the games in the series due to not being a gamer and finding the controls in the games awkward, a statement that raises doubts about how well the series will be able to convey the nuances of the original story.
Still, the fact that it's been ordered for two seasons suggests that the project is a high priority for Amazon. The series' budget will likely be significant, but the quality of the script remains questionable, as its showrunner never really embraced the source material as intended.
