God of War: Ghost of Sparta

What is the core story premise of this adventure?

The backdrop for this conflict is an ancient prophecy stating that the downfall of Olympus will be brought about not by the Titans, but by a Marked Warrior—a mortal. The Olympian Gods, Zeus and Ares, misinterpreted this prophecy, believing Kratos's brother, Deimos, to be the destined warrior due to birthmarks. This led to Ares kidnapping the young Deimos during a childhood training session, an event where Kratos was scarred across his right eye while attempting to intervene. This history fuels Kratos’s current desperate search for his brother in the depths of the mythological world.
