Kratos now sits on Olympus as the new God of War, and the other gods have had enough of him leading Sparta's army across Greece. During his attack on the city of Rhodes, Zeus steps in, and Kratos's war with Olympus begins in earnest. With help from the Titan Gaia, he goes looking for the Sisters of Fate, who have the power to change what has already happened.
