God of War Ragnarok could be the “end” for the war god Kratos

Is Kratos’ journey coming to an end?

In an interview after the PlayStation Showcase event on September 11, God of War Ragnarok blockbuster development director Eric Williams confirmed that this is the game that marks the end of the war between the two. Kratos with the Norse Gods. The ending of God of War III in 2010 saw Kratos seemingly dead after killing the Greek gods. But the gaming community was extremely surprised when Kratos returned in God of War 2018. Once again, Kratos’ journey is about to come to an end.

During God of War (2018), Kratos and his son Atreus, had a mural depicting Kratos’ death at the hands of Atreus, continuing the never-ending curse of “killing father”. Some gamers believe it could be Tyr, but others say it’s Odin or Thor, but surely Kratos’ death seems to have been predetermined.

This detail comes as confirmation that God of War Ragnarok serves as the end of the Norse Saga. In other words, Ragnarok is the apocalyptic prophecy of the death of all the gods, a well-rounded prophecy that Kratos and Atreus are trying to prevent. Atreus seems intent on discovering and learning his Loki identity, while saving everyone from Ragnarok.

The Kratos’ mission seems to be to prevent that apocalypse from happening, as they seek Tyr’s help, to stop war with Asgard, and stop Ragnarok. These goals are extremely lofty, and it is possible that Kratos will have to sacrifice his life to end the apocalypse or at least save Atreus. The mural was already bad news for Kratos, and development director Eric Williams confirmed that Santa Monica Studio was planning a God of War trilogy based on Norse mythology. Perhaps the third game will tell the life of Atreus after Ragnarok.

The good news is, Kratos’ death doesn’t mean the God of War series is over. Perhaps like his father, Atreus travels to a new land after expelling the Norse from Ragnarok, and the story continues with a new playable character. It all remains to be seen what Santa Monica Studio wants for Kratos and post-Ragnarok Atreus, which remains a mystery.
