This week, PS4 owners are too receive a GOW celebratory gift courtesy of Sony via the PSN Store.

In what is a week-long tribute to God of War, players can get their hands on a new, dynamic theme free of charge. Available now as a digital download, the freebie marks a seven-day campaign, paying homage to the critically acclaimed title.

Additionally, an authentic avatar set will follow on Wednesday, April 17th.

Also, all players can capitalize on this welcome generosity. Even, without a copy of the game.

“Thank you… thank YOU. Thank you to our fans around the world. Together we all dream big dreams. Dreaming big has led to an amazing sense of accomplishment for all of us here at Santa Monica Studio and it’s the belief in that dream that kept us going, from the very moment we set out to create a new beginning for God of War,” said Shannon Studstill, Director of Santa Monica Studio via the PlayStation blog (Studstill, 2019)

After praising the team responsible for making the dream a reality, and thanking fans for their support, Studstill goes on to say, “I’m very happy to indulge you with a small token of our appreciation. We’ve crafted a fantastic God of War Anniversary character avatar set that will be available free this Wednesday, and a dynamic Theme available right now that will bring you back to serenity with Kratos and Atreus in the Lake of Nine.”

Fan Service

In truth, God of War has a mighty fanbase. With that in mind, spoiling the community with fresh content, a year on from release, is a great way to keep the punters happy. After all, God of War acted as the success story of 2018.

Not only did GOW claim first prize at the annual Game awards. But also, in doing so, it pipped Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 to the post. Thus, rubbing additional salt into the exposed wounds. Not this time Rockstar. Lastly, what better way to return the favor, than, by treating loyal disciples to a host of fruitful rewards. Your kindness knows no bounds Sony!
