Story
The latest chapter in God Of War saga sees Kratos going on a journey with his Son Atreus to fulfill the final wish of Atreus ‘ dead mother. Along the way, Kratos not only have to keep his rage and anger in check but also protect his Son from seeing his true self.
This is the first time in the series where we see Kratos keeping himself under control and trying to be a good father to his son so that his son doesn’t repeat the same mistakes that he has made in the past i.e killing all Greek Gods.
This time around the series has moved on from the Greek mythology and has entered the era of Norse Gods which include Odin, Thor, and Loki. Will Kratos kill the Gods of this realm too? That is a question to which the answer will be revealed in the game.
Blades Of Chaos
Of all the trailers rolled out for the God Of War 4 one of the things that hardcore fans noticed were missing were the iconic “Blades Of Chaos”. While Sony Santa Monica didn’t reveal if we will be seeing these Blades in action but, “SPOILER ALERT” the Blades Of Chaos do make an appearance in the game.
Who Is Atreus
Kratos’ son, Atreus, plays an integral role in the God Of War 4 story. He will not only accompany Kratos on his journey but, will also help him in fights as we have seen in many trailers Atreus helping Kratos to take down enemies. Atreus is not an original character created for this game but, is a part of Greek Mythology. You can know everything about Atreus here.
Trailer Breakdown
God of War story trailer came out earlier and gave us a look at new characters, and the return of gigantic enemies. Breaking down the trailer will allow us to look more deeply and carefully into the world that awaits us.
God of War 4 aka God of War PS4 takes us to the Norse Mythology so many aspects and relevant characters appear in the footage we saw. The footage opens with Atreus lighting candles around his mother’s dead body. It is unclear if Kratos arrives after or before the death of Atreus’ mother.
Next, we see Atreus with a woman (speculated to be his aunt), and she asks him about the bow he’s using. It was revealed that the bow was crafted by Atreus’ mother for him, telling him that he’ll grow into it.
