Future God of War Games Will Remain in Norse Mythology
- Thread starter Aokiji
- Start date
Sony Santa Monica wants to continue exploring the theme of evolving Kratos and having him interact with his son.
Oh i thought either Kratos or the kid will die in GoW :D
Well, i was wrong.

I mean there's enough mythology there to keep doing cool things. But it'd be a shame if they didn't do something rad like having various mythologies battling for dominion.
What if the kid is a teenager and then an adult in the next 2 games?
I mean, Kratos can die and the kid can grow, become the main character but still deal with Kratos ghost or themes of guild and resentment :P
Why "stuck?"
And obviously, the kid will grow up over the series.
Some people really want Kratos to stay his rage-fueled murder-and-fuck cartoon self.
They wouldn't basically reboot the series and invest so much in new world building and lore using rich mythology like this just to use it all in one game. I expect at least a trilogy and then,if people want more from the series,they will move to Egyptian mythology.
Anyway,they will probably do Ragnarok at some point (:

God of War II
Kratos's hardest challenge begins as he explains to Atreus why he suddenly has more hair in areas than before.

Yes at least a trilogy. I hope they make some spin offs for this myth specially 2D games!
Then time to go to Egypt myth by open world RPG genre!

I thought for sure Kratos would die in this. It's almost a little spoilery to announce this info already. Oh well.
Would rather see him be a chew toy for fenrir than be stuck with him for multiple games.
Kratos will fight Atreus eventually.
I love long running stories, it should be cool raising Atreus up and eventually fighting him in a showdown in like 10 year from now.

Seems kinda dumb to bring him back from the dead simply to kill him. Its more likely kiddo is going get rekt super hard and thus pissing off Kratos.
Since they've already confirmed that his son wasn't going to die, this makes sense to keep him around for another trilogy.
Kratos doesn't have to lose a child again this time around.

It feels even less likely that they'd pull the whole "Kratos was happy, then the gods killed his family" again IMO.
When you pass the torch in movies and games, it almost always comes at the cost of the mentor. Star Wars is the easiest (and laziest) example since they've done it 4 times in 8 movies.
