A few weeks back we covered a deal on the standard edition of God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective, but now it’s the Deluxe Edition’s turn. Normally $200, the beautiful Deluxe Edition box set is discounted to $115.41 at Amazon. This is a limited-time deal, and over 40% of copies have been claimed already. It probably goes without saying, but the $85 price cut is the best deal yet on the two-book hardcover box set. The 20th Anniversary Retrospective was published by Dark Horse in July.
The standard edition box set is up for grabs for $80.79 (was $100), but it’s worth noting the recent (expired) deal dropped the price to $66.33. It’s also available as a Kindle ebook for $35. Check out both editions as well as deals on other God of War books below, including The Art of God of War Ragnarok Deluxe Edition for over 50% off.

The God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective Set is a two-volume hardcover book collection featuring 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.
God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective – Deluxe Edition
$115.41 ($200) | Limited-time-deal
The Deluxe Edition has a few flourishes 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.
