discovered by God of War fans on Reddit, a series of Nordic Runes can be spotted etched across the boat that Kratos and Atreus are rowing in the theme. Though they're hard to distinguish at first, zooming in and brightening up the image makes it as clear as day (as seen below), but what do they mean?

Well, translate the Runes into rough English, and it says "Ragnarok is coming." Oh boy! If you know your Norse mythology (or, alternatively, have seen Thor: Ragnarok), you'll know that this word holds a great deal of importance in the world of Gods and men, signalling the endtimes that essentially wipes out the entire inhabitants of the Nordic universe.

No way... I didn't expect that. Like, at all. Jesus. That's an incredible easter egg. And well hidden.

Wonder if it will be in the next game or spread out for 2 games. Either way, can't wait to beat Thor like an old drum and probably get his hammer.

Should have been in the first game considering when you got to the end it felt like it would have been the halfway point.

I'm hoping they age up boy a lot. Like 17-18

My (not so) bold prediction is that unless they're doing a surprise 18 month stand-alone-expansion sized followup (which I don't think they're doing), then we'll see a tease at the PS5 reveal in Q1 2020 and it'll be out Q4 2021 or Q1 2022.

It obviously will be.

Development will take like 4-5 years i would have thought. Will probs be a mid gen title

It's sort of hard to tell how long it will take to develop because on the one hand they have the basic template for the game already worked out, and a clear direction to go in. On the other hand, they'll be trying to push the envelope on a new console with a higher ceiling for quality. But on balance, I think 5 years would mean it ran into serious dev troubles.

They're gonna need to considering
within the next games he's gonna have to father 3 Jotun and possibly birth an 8-legged horse.

One thing I'm personally expecting is more and bigger bosses. Cory has repeatedly expressed in various interviews that less number of bosses was one of the weaknesses of the first game due to lack of time and manpower required.

With that said, which Gods do you think we will face in the sequel, apart from Thor of course?
