Of all the 9 realms, which one would be you be looking forward to playing? You can find more details about the explanation of each realm on this article Here Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I am super excited for God of war Ragnarok and Asgard⚡ has always been my favorite but I would certainly love to play in the Niflheim realm. Which one are you currently looking forward to? @Heatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one are you currently looking forward to? @Heatman It's going to be Helheim that I'm looking more forward to, being that it's supposedly the coldest and most dangerous realm amongst them all. I can't wait to have a taste of what it feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 This is pretty cool. I remember the original series was all about Greek mythology and I'm so happy they decided to go for the Norse side of it with the last game and the new one coming soon. I've been into a lot of Viking stuff as of late, and so it's nice to see that aspect showcased in game form. I am glad they're including all of these locations. I'm kinda hoping that some Viking characters show up, like Ragnar Lodbrok and a few others. Of course these guys aren't magical beings or anything like that, but I'd love to see some of the mainstays in Norse history to be included. Did the first God of War have any mention of real, known Vikings from back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's probably why it took the developers a while to have everything ready before they could announce the game's official release date. With the game moving towards Norse mythology, there's a high chance we would see Odin pop up in war on Asgard in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I could also see him dying in the end and Atreus sets out to another place to try and bring him back. He finds out of a goddess who brought back someone she loved to life (Isis reviving Osiris) and that’s how they segue into Egyptian mythology, which is what they wanted to do before they chose Norse.

The game is still good and I am sure there more to it than they allow us to know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the game is still going to make much sense to me if Kratos dies. Yeah, his son Atreus is a decent character and good with the bow but he's not big enough to replace his father for me in the game story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think will happen, is the 3rd God Of War will be the final Kratos game, where he will probably die and Atreus will become the new main character. But he time he gets his own trilogy, he could be evolved enough as a character to take over. Atreus is Loki, so he is an important character. Eventually he will become the lead. To be fair, Kratos was created for the games, he wasn't a real part of the Greek or Nordic mythologies, at least I don't believe so. He's a character created to be a mascot for a company pretty much.

They just transform the character Into something that would Better suit the storyline of the video game. I actually appreciate Atreus addition to the game for me it actually took away some attention from kratos and made the plot a lot more interesting to follow.

If Atreus character development goes well, then he'd probably fill up the role of Kratos in the future God of War games. But on the other hand of Kratos being part of Greek Mythology, he's definitely one and a God at that. You can a little on him through this link Here.

I always thought he was a character made by Sony. Oh well. I think Atreus is going to eventually take over. I'm kinda excited to see how the future goes.

I have been reading some few articles about his role in the mythology and the reason for his existence and creation. Well, Atreus could replace him but then the game would have to take a new title.

When he fully taps into his power, he's got so much to contribute to the game's plot especially when he starts using his shapeshifting powers, there's no limit to what he can do. Would it be enough to replace Kratos? It's only time would tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, I think when God of war Ragnarok is released it would give us an incite into what Atreus future and place in the video game franchise would be. And that's the more reason I am anticipating its release so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
