God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a hack-and-slash action adventure developed by Ready At Dawn and released in 2010 for the PlayStation Portable. Set between the events of the first two mainline God of War titles, the game follows Kratos, now god of war, who is still tormented by visions of his past. A vision of his mother Callisto imprisoned in Atlantis under Poseidon's rule drives him to defy Athena's warnings and pursue answers about his origins, ultimately leading to a confrontation with the death god Thanatos over the fate of his long-lost brother Deimos. Gameplay centers on Kratos wielding the Blades of Athena, supplemented by a new ability called Thera's Bane that enhances attack power, several new magical items, and an additional secondary weapon. Outside the main story, the Temple of Zeus functions as an unlockable area where orbs earned in the Battle Arena can be exchanged for bonus content including concept art.
The Oracle foretold that the demise of Olympus would come not from the Titans; but by a Marked Warrior, a mortal. The Olympian Gods Zeus and Ares believed this warrior to be Deimos, brother of Kratos, due to his strange birthmarks. Ares sieges a village of Sparta and interrupts the childhood training of Kratos and Deimos, with Athena on hand to watch over him, and kidnaps Deimos. Kratos attempts to stop Ares but is swept aside and scarred across his right eye by the violent Olympian. Ares prepares to kill the young Kratos for attacking him. Athena stops Ares and tells him they only came for the Marked Warrior, not to take the boy's life. Taken to the Domain of Death, Deimos is imprisoned and tortured by the God of Death, Thanatos.
