Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. The level of attention to detail really paid off in creating a truly immersive and believable world of the seven realms that the game characters inhabit.

These tonal shifts extend into the general art direction of the game: the game world, concepted as a realistic pre-Viking world in which Norse mythology springs to life, is rendered beautifully, often leaving the player gasping for air when taking in all the scenic beauty. Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment have released several concept art pieces for their highly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive game, God of War.
