What year did God of War III first release?

God of War III first released in 2010. Sony Computer Entertainment launched the game for PlayStation 3 in March 2010, making it the third main installment in the original Greek-era trilogy.

The story continues Kratos’s war against the Olympian gods after the events of God of War II. Its campaign focuses on the assault on Mount Olympus and features confrontations with major figures from Greek mythology, including Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.

God of War III was later remastered for PlayStation 4 in 2015. That remastered release can cause confusion about the original year, but the game debuted on PlayStation 3 in 2010. It also preceded the Norse-set God of War (2018), which restarted the series’ setting and changed its combat presentation.
