Jan. 23 (UPI) -- The mighty Kratos journeys with his son in a new cinematic trailer for Sony's upcoming Playstation 4 exclusive, God of War.
The clip, released Tuesday, announced that the third-person action game will be released on April 20.
Kratos, the star of the previous entries in the God of War series, is seen in the trailer teaching his son about restraint in battle as they travel across sweeping vistas as they fight to survive against a number of mythological enemies.
"From Santa Monica Studio and creative director Cory Barlog comes a new beginning for one of gaming's most recognizable icons," reads the synopsis.
"Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest," it continues.
Barlog, director of the game, detailed the title's various special editions that will be available for purchase on the Playstation Blog.
The digital deluxe edition of God of War at $69.99 includes digital art books, a digital comic, a dynamic theme and in-game items while a Collector's Edition at $130 includes a 9-inch statue of Kratos and Atreus, a cloth map and a SteelBook case.
A Stone Mason Edition for $150 will also be available that features the content of the Collector's Edition along with a Stone Mason ring, a keychain, a 2-inch Horse and Troll carving and a shield to use in-game.
