The last scene where kratos see himself as a hero of peace was so good. It finally completes the we must be better and finally breaks the circle in which kratos is seen as a monster.
Kratos made his own decisions regardless of prophecy, even the first mural almost indicating Kratos would die was not necessarily correct. Prophecys don't matter.
The story was rushed trash, made a mockery of Norse mythology, retconned characters for the sake of “diversity”, turned a cool female character into a Mary Sue, and the entire premise is about how masculinity is toxic. Don’t believe me? Just read the lead narrative’s Tweets. Now that these tropes have become comically indefensible and people aren’t having it anymore, the best we can hope for is the devs wake-up. Loki spin-off would be dumb. They should make two more Kratos games and then Loki comes back jacked and a badass instead of a whiny bitch.
@@whitelivesmatter7709 Listen, I believe the path that the Santa Monica studios have chosen is way better, than this "childish" gaming style of just killing everybody without cause. Here they have focused more on Kratos and how he evolved as a Person, and that he learned from his failures and tries not to repeat them or pass them on to his child. If you prefer the old versions than just play them, God of War would've been very boring if he just did the same thing over and over again in different pantheons.
@@screaminpain Are you trying to say that kratos was not a deep character but a mindless killer? because if so you are sorely mistaken. He didn't kill everybody without cause and if you don't believe me then play the games or watch a video breaking it down for you.
Actually the murals in the first game and in Ironwood, are depicting Kratos death. If you go back and look at the very last panel of Kratos mural at the end of the game, you can see the the previous "prophecy" of Kratos' death, was painted over; With the image of Kratos being worshipped. I think the moment that Kratos tells Aretus to "open you heart to it", is what made everything change. Letting Aretus know that his ability to show empathy to those who are suffering around him, IS what makes him different than the other GODs in that realm. And the key reason why Kratos made the choice to stop fighting THOR. Instead of fighting him to his death, Like in the mural in Ironwood. He decided to be empathetic to Thor. Because, He was broken just like how Kratos was in greece. As well as being viewed as a destroyer. The moments when Aretus and Kratos motivations for fighting in the war changed, that when everything changed in the murals.
What I don’t get is whether Kratos is bound to the prophecies of the Norse. Didn’t he break free from prophecies from the Greeks? How does he just get bound to a new prophecy when he enters a new land. I feel like Kratos should be above prophecies in a way at this point
@@sufyanahmed5751 I'm not sure if the developers are operating by "being bound by the law of land" logic . Example Mimir, in the God Of War universe is not from "these lands". The first game he mentions seeing items from his homeland in Týr Temple. From his accent he could come from a Scottish/Celtic background. But he is in a lot of norse prophecies.
From Ghost of Sparta, feared by Gods known as a God killer, he want to forget the past and become a father (again) and a Champion of Nine Realms.. worshipped by anyone as a new God of War to Protect peace, it's a perfect ending of a franchise.... no more sequel, let him retire he cried when he saw the last mural
@@alexanderreyes8513 real tyr the god of war is still alive, at first i thought kratos became the new Allfather so people worshipped him, maybe... i dont know
In a way, that prophecy in the mural of someone dying in Atreus' arms and absorbing their soul still came true, except they diverted it enough so now it's Odin instead of Kratos.
@@infernasYou're 1000% right. They still followed the prophecy EXACTLY, which was supposed to lead to Kratos dying in Atreus/Loki's arms. However, it was their choice not to allow prophecy to dictate their ending. I couldn't believe it when I saw Odin in Atreus' arms, with his spirit coming out of his mouth. I literally waited almost 5 years for that moment.
@@ricekrispy6310 I believe that wasn’t the mural she destroyed. She destroyed the one Angrboda shows them at the end where Kratos and Atreus face each other in battle referencing how Atreus was worried that he’d have to kill his own father from the previous game.
I don't think the figure in the 2018 ending mural is Odin, its definetly Kratos. I think they defied prophecy and changed the end when Atreus destroyed the mask. The choice between destroying the mask and using it are clearly laid out just before Atreus makes his choice. I think in that moment Atreus chose who he wanted to be, Atreus the son of Kratos or Loki the Jotün of prophecy. His choice left Odin in his arms, not Kratos.
You are forgetting that Thor is standing over kratos and atreus in the mural. I believe that if kratos hadn't changed as much as he did and kept fighting thor instead of talking him down odin would have still shown up and he and thor would have killed kratos. Because kratos changed he lived but thor died.
@@iShowGaming02 in an effort to save him. If kratos was killed in battle I think atreus would put his soul in a ball to try and keep him alive in some way.
This is how you do a sequel correctly. The beloved main character wasn't reduced to become a side character so another could take his place. Instead, he remained the main character and his story was improved upon. Fans who have been with Kratos throughout all the games so far knows how far he's come. I'm glad his story will continue.
This god of war was such an emotional trip that I was not expecting from being with kratos from the beginning till now he as really grown emotionally and it’s a good growth
07:22 I totally missed that. But I miss most things haha. That’s why I need to watch these videos after I finish the game. After Atreus, I’d like a Kratos and Freya game. Thanks!
I don't think the mural is about Kratos being a hero of Ragnarok. I think it was about Kratos eventually being worshipped and adored as a benevolent God. But he still has a lot of work before he would achieve that.
@@acidfruitloops I have a video of what happens when you 100 the game, it's not what you think it is 😂 but there's the raven watcher if you kill all odins ravens
@@goldendays404 Oh I killed the fuck outta that bitch, was a little disappointed thought I was about to get into a badass brawl. Just looked like one of those annoying ass wisps or whatever. I may just look up 100% and see what I'm missing.
The giants aren’t in the nine realms , angrboda has already said that they are far away from Odin reach and in a different land. which my guess is that they hiding in the land which the Egyptians gods are located.
Don’t limit yourself to Egyptian mythology, there’s still Celtic, which was confirmed mimirs homeland, there’s Slavic, Mesopotamian, Babylonian, Arabian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese, and many more myths
@@naturalLin There are many reasons, as he’s now a different type of god of war. He might find a new purpose to travel across the lands, helping those in need. He might want to become more knowledgeable of other gods, especially those that might be similar to him. However, with that said, it doesn’t matter what me or you say might happen, it all depends on game creators, and whatever gets them the most money 🤷🏻
I’m going to guess that since Odin and Thor is gone, there is a Good chance that another pantheon will try and evade the 9 realms where Kratos now has to protect. Which will lead to someone getting kidnapped or killed forcing Kratos to go to their world to restart the vengeance cycle.
no vebgebce. kratos will protect 9 realms as king as earn respect from people and devotes. this will be a war in which the god of it will fight for protecting his loved one and not vengence
No Atreus is going to search for the lost giants which aren’t in the nine realms. It pretty obviously sets up another game where atreus goes to another mythology
I feel like GOW Ragnarok made more hints towards Celtic/ English Mythology than any other, mainly based on Mimir mentioning his homeland so much. Compared to the other lands it would arguably be closer to the Norse Realm and given Norse/ Viking culture clashing with the UK it makes sense that maybe that’s where Atreus would look first. I think maybe there were two references to Egypt in GOW 2018 but Mimir spent plenty of time talking about his homeland’s lore that, to me at least, it makes the most sense for that to be the next location, with us eventually making our way to Egypt.
I am in awe of this game…….the series as a whole actually. With Demons souls remake, Elden Ring and now this, the ps5 may be my favorite console of all time.
My entire life Kratos was a menace to society . But after playing this , made me feel good inside . From a God killer to wanting redemption and change for his life . Kratos smiling ? Well deserved 🥹
I can picture Atreus’s journey to find other giants like the fomarians leading him the Celtic lands. Subsequently becoming the legendary Finn McCool in the process. Or maybe even Cu Chulainn (shapeshifting + Spartan Rage = hulk form).
in the comics, Kratos travels to Egypt in between his transition from Greece to Norse. maybe the next game could be sort of a prologue with a younger, still bad ass Kratos in egypt? could very well explain how he got to Midguard.
When you consider that Atreus is searching for giants, visiting celtic mythology would make a lot of sense, we could have Atreus travel with Angrboda and Mimir to his homeland with Mimir playing the part of the fatherly figure and Angrboda taking over Freyas role.
I love how nobody wants to touch on the idea that some things are better off not known. And unseen. That's the whole reason Odin ruined the 9 realms. He wanted to know the end. See everything. Could it be that is a hint at the studio saying "maybe you don't need more of this story. Some threads need not be pulled." Seemed like that was a pretty heavy handed lesson dished to us.
Ok so what if Thor went to the high plane of existence? Hear me out, when Thor died his body disintegrated like Athena’s but his ash glow was blue instead of green. When Kratos killed Heimdall his body didn’t disintegrate at all and just remained there lifeless on the floor, same as Baldur in the 2018 version and all the other gods Kratos killed in the Greek pantheon. Could it be that Thor’s act of defiance to Odin and standing up for his family was the redemption needed to cross into the higher plane of existence? If that is the case he can come back in a spin-off and guide Thrud through her adventures and missions. Would be one hell of a call back to the original series and what they did with Athena since she technically appeared in 2018 even though it was all in Kratos’ head
The mural was depicting Kratos dying in Atreus arms as Thor stands over them after being victorious in their fight, however they convince Thor to stop his fight against them and "be better" at which point the prophecy can no longer be fulfilled and they have chosen their own fate. This results in odin being the one to die instead. In the original mural, I'm guessing it's Atreus not wanting Kratos to truly die and putting his soul into the marble instead of letting him die however after changing their fate he chooses to trap Odins soul in the marble which fulfills the prophecy in a different way because it's not his father dying but the All-Father instead.
Na man it was a fake prophecy bro cause the other last mural shows kratos being worshipped at the ending of ragnarok that first one was laid out on purpose
It‘s amazing that so many people in the comments beg to differ. What you‘re saying is 100% what actually happens, the „Kratos on the mural is actually Odin“ doesn‘t make much sense and completely ignores everything the norns say.
I think one of the main events that happened in the game that changed kratos fate is the fact brok helped kratos craft the spear and with that spear he withheld Odin from taking the mask in his “ great escape “ I’m sure there is other heavier events but, I think the spear catching the mask was a game changer becusse other wise Odin would have had unfathomable knowledge and power.
Another heavy piece of fate changing is the last dream with Faye. Instead of kratos seeking vengeance like usual he was seeking justice! Fate changing material!
I didn’t understand why Odin didn’t just come right back for the mask. Idk guess he was that scared to be close to Kratos when he was angry… just was weird to me
@@RedGaming44 Odin didn't have a way in again, there was a dialog saying that Odin kept a raven in the broom closet from when Tyr-Odin wanted to stay in. After Odin killed Brok and tried to leave he took the raven with him.
@@HaseoIX I guess that’s an explanation but I was disappointed in Odin. He pretended to be Tyr for so long just to get nothing out of it? It had no impact on stopping Kratos in any way so Odin just ended being dumb and not smart at all by the end of things
Oh wow, I didn't even notice the parallel between the mural and Odin's death at the end of the game. In a way, that prophecy in the mural of someone dying in Atreus' arms and absorbing their soul still came true, except they diverted it enough so now it's Odin instead of Kratos.
@@maadmaned3784 bro wasnt paying attention at all 😂. I can't tell if ur slow or just trolling. What part of the game makes u think odin is atreus is father?
@blackhippy well when Kratos and Odin conversed in svartalfheim Odin asked Kratos is he sure the boy is his and the Norns said lokis father will die in his hands and the mural shows his father dying in his hands
I like to think that Thor helped chang fate, kratos was probably gonna try to spare Thor anyways but if blinded by rage or wanting daddy's approval like he always had been beforehand then he would of struck a kratos whos guard is down. Odin was right there meaning that everything in the end of the mural would have happened
It should be mentioned that maybe this green portal that odin found is from the realm of higher existence that athena reached, and cause athena was green when she reached that higher existence and the portal is green and is from a higher existence.
I honestly think they NEED a Loki spinoff. Going from this ending straight into some other mythology would be completely out of place without some proper buildup. They mentioned they want 4 more games at least. A loki spinoff could introduce us to the reason why they need to explore other mythologies. Then they could do 3 games in different worlds. That would be my bet. I would love a game with hindu religion (14 different realms), one with scandinavian mythology and maybe a game set in egypt or japan. The thing with the rift closed by the mask would already be a buidup for this.
Several of the artifacts and treasures you find in the game speak of "relics" like the kind you use in the game for magic that are coming from the East and South, describing that they are powerful if used correctly. Almost hinting at the next game and the pantheons we'll get to see. The treasure relic you find from the South speaks of the Mayan Gods and how "Fair and Just" they are, but powerful as well. My theory is this, next game they are setting it up for us to go back home, but in that process we'll go through parts of Eastern mythology (Egypt/Arab), Southern Mythology (Mayan), perhaps Asia although I feel like two pantheons is big enough, but i guess we'll all have to wait and see what the plan is
The ending for Atreus sets up a full blown sequel with a new mythology. It said that he’s going to search for the lost Giants which aren’t in the nine realms so he has to travel to a different mythology.
Finished and really enjoyed the game, but one small thing is bugging me At the end of Ragnarok when Angrboda shows up to save the day, the way the scene is shot it makes it look like Atreus is pushing Kratos into the realm tear but Atreus doesn't make it in as there is a flash of white light. We then see Kratos running calling out for Atreus which made me further believe that Atreus didn't make it out of Asgard. But then Atreus wakes up in the Holt and everything is fine and we never get an explanation of how Atreus got out. Mimir mentions that Atreus gave them a scare but I didn't notice anything else that explained his escape. I guess he also escaped through the tear? Am I missing something here? Did anyone else feel the same way?
I’m not sure how he got out after pushing Kratos, maybe he was blown through the tear by the force of the sword impacting. But with Kratos yelling, I assumed because of the one cut camera we’re supposed to be seeing out of Atreus’ eyes as Kratos is carrying him in his arms, running somewhere to set him down and panicking because he is injured or seemingly unconscious before he is healed.
@@darknight991 Yeah I also thought of the shot with Kratos running could be from Atreus' POV. If that's the case it's a bit odd though. If Kratos is carrying him I'd expect Kratos to be looking down at him, but he doesn't. He's looking around like he doesn't know where he is.
Yeah you misunderstood some of the context there. Kratos wasn't calling out for Atreus as if Atreus wasn't with them, the scene was from Atreus'perspective as he was barely conscious while Kratos carried him and called to him to stay with them. In other words, Atreus was injured from the blast but was never separated from the group. He had turned back to save Frayer but was immediately injured and knocked unconscious (and was likely ejected through the realm tare) and then Kratos and the others rushed to safety while carrying him.
They had that awesome concert too at the game awards. I think they were expecting it to win too. Narratively God of War is the better game but both it and Elden ring are fantastic
The mural did depict Kratos, not Odin. By changing his nature and telling Atreus to open his heart (as the Norns put it, there is no fate, just predictable nature), Kratos was able to survive ragnarok. That's why the new prophecy we see of Kratos as a god worthy of worship is painted over the scene of his corpse, as explained by the game's director.
Yes!! Someone gets it haha i think the game even explains how Faye destroyed that 1st mural, going against her own ppl to kinda change that prediction. I think thats why they were kinda destroyed and covered up in the mountain instead of on full display like the others at the end of the 2018's game
I feel that at a certain point, the series has to move on from Kratos as the main character. Even if it takes a rebranding. I don't want Kratos to become like Kiryu from the Yakuza series: a character seeking redemption who is constantly given good conclusions to his arc but keeps having them ruined because the parent studio wants more money
The story of the next game: Atreus got in trouble when exploring Egypt/other mythology, he sends Angrboda to seek help, Kratos leaves Freya and Mimir to take care of the 9 realms and goes on a rampage to save his son
Content I would love to see 1. Being able to switch Atreus and Freya Companions 2. New Game Plus Mode for new Armor sets 3. An Upgradeable Mjolnir weapon to throw and hit enemies with (could be either DLC or in New Game Plus) 4. DLC Story continuation that sets up what will happen next
I don't think they're done with the Nordic realm. It's just too much to fix there after Odin. I would like to see atreus with an actual weapon besides his bow and a sword that fights for him. I loved his solo missions but think he should of had a weapon. I think he should get Kratos spear in future games or a sword of his own.
His conclusion was PHENOMENAL. I’d much rather have an adult Atreus head to Egypt because his arc is just starting where kratos….. it’ll feel like a cope out and undermines this games and 2018s story if he goes to another pantheon and kills gods again will prove these games stories to be pointless if they end up going that way.
@@smarty1268 a god of war game without kratos will not be successful, nobody wants Atreus to be the main characters. Everyone still wants kratos to further go
You’re wrong on 7:22. The mural is portraying Kratos death and Kratos would of died if he didn’t change his nature. At ragnarok when he told Atreus to open his heart instead of closing it, that moment changed their fate and their nature. Pretty sure this was confirmed by Santa Monica in a recent interview.
Ngl i actually cried when kratos and Atreus hugged at the end when he left to find the giants the music and moment was so good that I actually balled my eyes out I felt it
Definitely hoping for DLC, but highly doubt it’ll happen. I know new game plus and phot mode r coming. And well , I find it odd that I have all this leftover xp. Everything’s upgraded to max and still have a lot of xp to spend. Really weird.
all the extra xp is for all the runic attacks and summons and all the tailsmans, skill mods, ect, you want to upgrade, this game wont be getting any dlc the creators said themselves the idea of dlc doesnt sound right, they think if you pay 60$ that you should get the full game and no other additinal purchases, 2018 god of war har no dlc and the previous god of wars as well, theyll defintely add a new game + in a couple months after release like they did with the 2018 version its just commen senee at that point, but sorry to disapoint theres not going to be any dlc i can almost garuentee you that
I've been thinking... I'm down for an invasion scenario. Seeing that the norse mythology Gods are weakened from odin and the fighting, I would like to see a scenario where Loki defends the norse lands from let's say... from the Shinto mythology or Egyptian invaders that want new lands and glory. I'd imagine a scenario where Atreus gets a renowned japanese sword from battle and with his skill in the bow, He'd be a great samurai since technically samurai were actual mounted bow archers.
I have a question. Most people say that the next step might be the Egyptian civilization. Or any other ancient civilization. But I saw another video, when I searched “how old is Kratos” 🤣, and it said that Kratos, based on the chronological events in Sparta and the events on the last two games is probably 1000 years old. Sparta events happened about 500 BC and the events now are happening at about 500 AD. So basically my question is, if the above are accurate, whats the point of Kratos being in Egypt at 500AD. Wouldn’t it be more logical to be in the Crusades for example? Or in the future? Who knows…
Just beat it. Great game and can't wait to see more. A mini standalone would be cool because the next mainline title is gunna be...at least 4 years lol.
At least 4 years, I’d say add a year to it mainly because Santa Monica is currently working on a new ip and the fact it took them 4 and half years to get a game that was based on the foundation and formula that 2018 laid…. It’ll probably take them more time to make a game that is set somewhere else.plays different and a new story because 2018 and RAGNAROK are ONE story that was told in 2 games.
@@smarty1268 yeah i agree with you ngl but u have to remember santa monica was working on ragnarok during covid and the game came out a masterpeice so u also have to put that into consideration but i feel like 4-5 years for the next game, makes me sad i beat the game 2 days ago so soon it was so damn good,
@@felix8217 I can give insight to this guys by 2025 of May you should see the first sign of the next god of war game story and where this story will be set but I can give you a good hint that it will be between the English and celtic war times of gods clashing era and will be lined in Tune with helping mimir solve alot of wrongs
How about modern day? Kratos takes LA. Have him fight against the mythology of Scientology. Cruise, Travolta, L.Ron's Wraith, Xenu etc. Have him rampage through some farmer's markets and Whole Foods and destroy Hollywood, sink the place with an Earthquake, and then in the end, Get an executive producer credit for his life story and win a shiny Oscar, fulfilling the prophecy with the golden statue.
I remember there being a graphic novel of God of War of Kratos traveling throughout Egypt. During this time he as to come to terms with the fact that he can't be separated from the blades of chaos, his past.
Atreus' immediate future does NOT seem to be tied with the norse mythology. In ironwood Angrboda says that the Giants aren't in the Nine rehlms. So, Atreus would look for the giants outside the Nine rehlms = outside norse mythology. Maybe Egypt?
The devs are saying it won’t likely have any DOC because they’ve put “ EVERYTHING into this game” but I certainly hope they do or that am certain story plots are continued upon next installment
I just can’t possibly imagine how they would justify Kratos taking on another pantheon of gods. Like at that point kratos would just have to look into the camera and go ‘well damn, if clearly stuck in a video game franchise because wtf are the odds’ lol
Well, technically the prophecy is Kratos dying. The point is to show that Kratos and Atreus changed. If you look closely at the final mural it is Kratos' death mural that is painted over, as in fate was rewritten, seemingly by Angrboda as the colors look a lot like her style
I hope they have a 3 game story that focuses on atreus and his adventure and at the same time have a 3 game story that focuses on Kratos on his journey. Followed up with another trilogy of both of them meeting up after they have completed each of their stories. This might be a pipe dream that really depends on them making a good story for both, mainly atreus. This might not happen at all but one can hope for the best. Anyways great video and your content is amazing so I appreciate your hard work and your attention to detail.
whatever happens in the future, i hope it doesn't undo all of kratos' hard earned growth and i hope it doesn't essentially end up as kratos ultimately failing midgard. i think i'd even be fine with a mainline game focusing on atreus with his dad called for backup, leaving his stability in the norse world intact. whatever happens, i hope mimir comes along for the ride. i know freya coming back is unlikely (you can't have both the leaders just up and leave midgard) but i hope mimir's status as a belt ornament and his experience in multiple pantheons means he can come along
That's what I fear. I like the idea about going to the Egypt mythology, (as GoW games are the mayor reason I want to learn about the mythology)... but I think the Norse one is perfect for Kratos's character. And if they do another game, I fear they ruin all the beautiful progress the character have.
My thought was that Atreus comes across another pantheon, while he searches for the other giants, because it was said the giants fled to other lands far far away, even across the oceans. However what becomes of Kratos, no clue
ooooh i got a theory 1. Atreus shall explore the Shinto mythology - The only connection i've found was that the Three-Fold Tomoe symbol is also associated with archery, though I'm not sure if or how seeking Norse Giants would fit into the picture.. 2. Kratos , (maybe Atreus), and Mimir explore Celtic mythology - It IS Mimir's homeland after all, making him fit into the narrative very easily. Some notable names that pop up for context could be King Arthur, Merlin, The Morrigan, and Nimue (The Lady of the Lake, as mentioned by Mimir during one of his tales). I would expect a larger mystery to unfold, driving them to leave the Norse realms in search of clues, enemies, or allies. Mythology also mentions the existence of a Giant :) 3. Egypt would be the final game - The symbol on Tyr's hidden panel shows the Eye of Ra on the upper left corner, which is apparently symbolic of a great celestial power; one that may bring harmony or cause violence and destruction if mishandled. I think that the larger picture surrounding the theme of war among gods would be appropriate here.
There's a recurring theme of: what is a god? Kratos refers to himself as a god but with an skewed vision of what it entails. He sees gods as selfish beings that enjoy torturing humanity for their own enjoyment and have unnatural abilities. He sees himself as a god but feels is more of a curse than a blessing. Odin confronts him telling him that he doesn't know what being a god is since no one has prayed or revered Kratos. He has always been seen as a monster and god-killer. That last panel, Kratos sees that he can actually become a god of peace being revered and admire by humanity as a god.
I feel like I‘m the only one here, but I wish this sequel never happened. To me the first game was drastically better, much more grounded and mature. Odin and Thor still had that menacing mystique surrounding them, Freya‘s threats felt sincere and powerful and they didn‘t feel like a comedic hunting game like in the second game and most importantly Kratos‘ death on the wall was just such a powerful scene and it left the players wondering and fearing. His story came full circle in GoW 2018 and his final speech to Atreus carried the power of all God of War games since 2005. I feel Ragnarok trivialized a lot of things, even the war itself. But that‘s just me. Edit: No wonder I felt weird about the game. A completely different director made it. It was his first game ever. Of course he wasn’t gonna capture the spirit of the literal creator of Kratos.
yeah norse saga. I think egyptian or celtic would be the most common outcome. But 2027 would be probably the next one come sout lol so we gotta wait a while.
One thing I've thought about is the possibility of Kratos having another child he is unaware of. He did do a lot of fucking back in Greece. He even paused mid rampage to clap Aphrodite's cheeks. I don't see the invasion concept working unless the invading pantheon conquered Greece already since it was a lot more vulnerable than the 9 realms. Perhaps a God or Demi-God from Greece warns comet to warn him of the incoming invasion. Or in the bastard child scenario asks Kratos to teach him/her how to be a war god.
I don’t understand why everyone thinks this game doesn’t set up a full sequel. At the end Atreus is going to a different mythology cause he has to search for the Giants that aren’t in the nine realms.
@@peculiar3529The people that have been with the franchise since 2005 don't really care all that much about Atreus. I've followed Kratos since I was 11 and I don't want to follow Atreus to other realms. I want the original creators ending idea to be used. Where Kratos finds the different versions of himself in the Nordic and Eqyptian pantheons and rid the world of all Gods everywhere. IIRC this ended with them keeping watch of the world for any new gods the rise. After hearing of the birth of a new god the 3 travel see this new god themselves. After ascertaining that this child is a loving and benevolent God the 3 leave him be after giving him three gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.
@@justinmoore6381 It was certainly devastated, but Kratos didn't kill every Greek God. About a dozen were spared. Including the powerful twins Apollo and Artemis as well Demeter, Hestia and Dionysus. I think it would be plausible that they could rebuild the Greek world.
@@HillbillyDeLucks I gotcha, that’s good though, I thought Kratos simultaneously destroyed Greece when he killed all the Gods. A return to Greece would be cool though. Like you said if he has an unknown son or daughter but who’s a god and is a “good” God that helps and leads Greece. Just something wholesome.
This ending is amazing, I do hope there's an Atreus DLC, I would like to see his journey to finding other giants. And of course, we would like to see Kratos story continue obviously
