Across its two hardcover books, the God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective features 320 pages of artwork, behind-the-scenes materials, and exclusive interviews with key members of each game’s development team. Both hardcovers and the ornate slipcase are wrapped in leatherette.
Volume 1: Greek Saga covers the original God of War Trilogy and its numerous spin-offs, while Volume 2: Norse Saga details the development of God of War 2016 and God of War: Ragnarok. The 20th Anniversary Retrospective was written by Rick Barba, the author behind God of War: Lore and Legends, a recreation of Atreus’ journal published by Dark Horse in 2020.

The Deluxe Edition has a few upgrades and additional materials that will likely appeal to collectors and massive God of War fans. Both books have gilded page edges, ribbed spines, slightly different cover art, built-in ribbon bookmarks, and a display box with unique gold-foil illustrations on the front and back.
The Deluxe Edition also comes with a bifold portfolio containing a pair of lithographs. One of the prints features artwork inspired by the PlayStation 2 games, and the other is based on the contemporary reboot.
God of War fans can also save big on official art books for the 2018 reboot and its sequel, God of War Ragnarok. The series has also received a few novelizations and a humorous ABC storybook for adults titled God of War: B is for Boy.
