God of War's standard cover art is gorgeous. Front and centre, Kratos and Atreus stand aboard their boat, staring down who-knows-what, while the scene behind them provides a stunning backdrop. It's a surprisingly peaceful cover, but if you picked up an American copy of Santa Monica Studio's latest, you can swap it out for the below reversible art work.
This more action packed, Doom inspired cover art is the same as was used for Game Informer's February issue, and depicts Kratos and Atreus fending off all sorts of Norse nasties. While North American copies of the game feature this as a reversible cover, European copies don't, which seems an odd exclusion. We're not sure about any other territories at this point, but this is at least a nice bonus for those in the US who picked up a physical version.
Are you rocking God of War's reversible cover, or was it not included in your copy? Should Sony have included it in all versions of the game? Try not to get angry in the comments below.

Why wasn't that in all the copies before release? I love a reversable cover the DOOM one is brilliant
I just flipped mine last night.
I got the stone mason edition so I unfortunately donโt have that cover but it is beautiful
This is the first time I've seen a NA cover looking better than the EU cover.
Post a pic of the box open, cover is wrap around, looks very cool, I reversed it while I waited for the install and download of many patches. I'm planning on trading the game in when I'm done but keeping the box.
I'm considering scanning it in and using as my PC wallpaper.
Does it have the PS4 logo on the spine? If it doesn't, I probably won't use it.
Well dang, I'mma flip mine then!
Hahaha.america is the best.kratos is on a rampage to game of the decades.w๐rd up s๐n
Freakin beautiful, love reversible art covers.
Oh, come on! Why don't we have that?
It is beautiful..
I hope they will add that by the time I buy GoW.
It's touches like this that are the reason I prefer physically owning a game to buying the digital version.
Europe gets the cold shoulder. Sony as a big supporter of your brand this is annoying and stupid.
this has been the case with a number of Sony's PS4 games, including everybody's golf and gran turismo sport
I have the steel cased edition which has no artwork at all apart from some symbols..do you hear me moaning
@Neolit Same! And I like the dynamic theme version of the boat cover art. What are they looking at?!
It wasn't included with my copy - in fact I don't have any cover 'Art' at all...
...But I do have a lovely embossed steel-book as well as an art book so I think I have the better deal!
The FFXII reversible cover was pretty nifty.
@BAMozzy i was about to say exactly the same thing ๐ i will take my well build double slip case with my steel tin and hardback art book over any of these sleeves.
" Doom inspired cover art"
My first thought was the European cover for GoW1, but I guess that probably takes some inspiration from Doom itself.
I love reversible covers. One of the really 'fun' aspects of a physical release that you don't get with digital.
digital all the way, i do not care for having blue ps4 game cases lying all over my house
