God of War’s Kratos os one of the many figures being added to the Play Arts Kai line. Today, Play Arts Kai has released images of their new warrior.
After virtually annihilating the entire Greek pantheon, Kratos (who is voiced by Christopher Judge) and his son Atreus (voiced by Sunny Suljic) are in dire need of new challengers and new realms to conquer in God of War 6.
I think it'll have to be set in Egypt. It's the only place with a recognisable set of gods ready to go. I don't see them using anyone obscure they'll want characters well known in pop culture.
The setting also lends itself well to the series visually and would be a welcome change from snowy landscapes.
I can see them going with Egyptian, but the only issue would be... how? The Norse mythology takes place in the iron age, same as the Greek. After in fact, but Egyptian mythology takes place even earlier in the bronze age. They would have to create some sort of time travel narrative so Kratos could go back several thousand years to deal with the likes of Ra, Seth, Anubus, and Osiris.
I know its a game, they can do pretty much whatever they want but having two game mythologies in the right order would seem to mean they would try to keep that order. So after the iron age comes the late antiquity age which is where Arabian and Slavic mythologies are part. Neither of which are as well known as something like Egyptian.
Nah do something new, I acknowledge they are good games but I just want to see SSM tackle a new IP
There have been exciting questions on everyone's mind since the conclusion of the Norse chapter in Santa Monica Studio's God of War. Many believe that Kratos has put down his axe and is now retired.
Probably but I feel future stories will be something coming for Kratos rather him going after someone by choice
If the Egyptian Gods for example hear of his acts against not only the Greek gods but the Norse they might think they are next and send people to try and dispose of him prompting him to investigate why there are continuous attacks on him.
He’s retired but he’s not going to sit back and let people hurt him or the people around him. I’m sure he could bring Freya along aswell to replace Atreus
Based on Ragnarok’s ending [and overall narrative] Kratos wants to become a benevolent steward of the Nordic realm. He intends to help the people rebuild. He is also old and tired of fighting. Conversely Atreus wants to to travel the world to find out more about the Jotunn and also embrace his adventurous nature. Therefore, I think a successor series to God of War could follow Atreus, with Kratos being a background character.
I don’t see it for a few reasons.
For one, it makes them too much money.
For two, the retirement of Kratos would mean the retirement of the franchise. I think that’s a far jump in assumptions just because ragnarok ended on a good note. It’s strange for the series sure but no cliffhanger just means the next director has more freedom to take it where they want. I think people are looking too deeply into this.
There’s a clear divide between the Kratos that fought against the Greek pantheon and the one who now faces Ragnarok. In the latest entry in Santa Monica Studios’ epic saga, God of War Ragnarok, Kratos seems weaker than he used to be.
It's hard to talk about this without delving in spoilers territory, but it is pretty clear that Kratos is trying to hold back every since he arrived in this new realm. There is a fight early on in Ragnarok where Kratos' adversary says that he wants to see the Ghost of Sparta in full old style mode and Kratos does not want to go back to his old days because he is afraid to become his greek self again.
By the end of Ragnarok, though, it is possible to look back and see pretty clearly that even when trying to restrain himself, Kratos still did very well against all his adversaries, so, no, Kratos is not weaker. He is now in some kind of Superman state of mind where he never uses his full power because he would shatter the land around he like he did in Greece, but he still can beat pretty much anyone that stands in his way and refuses his offer to walk away from a fight with the greek God of War
Man has gotten old and been through too much. Haven't beaten the game yet so I don't know what happens but I hope he retires after Ragnarok and Atreus takes over.
i got killed by the first 5 worms that kept attacking me from where i could not see them and I'm a god of War? lol
Kratos is older and in a different realm, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. Kratos also seems to have more control over his emotions these days; that definitely plays a part in his strength. How old is kratos actually? Does he age slower or like a normal human still?
I think they made Kratos talk a little to much in GoWR. He’s more sensitive than I’d like him to be. I miss the old PS3 era Kratos more.
cool figure.....
Pretty damn detailed
Neat. That is all
