“War is not the only way,” Kratos (voiced once again by the phenomenal Christopher Judge) gruffly tells Atreus, his son, in the emotionally charged and long-awaited full reveal for God Of War Ragnarök. Just as the inhabitants of the Nine Realms have anxiously awaited their apocalyptic event, we’ve been waiting for this sequel to the marvellous reinvention that was the first game. We understand Kratos’ hesitancy well. Despite being a god of war himself, Kratos isn’t particularly pleased to find himself on the brink of one of the biggest wars imaginable – Ragnarök.
“THOR AND FREYA HAVE PERSONAL REASONS FOR WANTING REVENGE, BUT ODIN IS STILL PULLING THE STRINGS.”
Several years have passed, and Fimbulwinter is encroaching on their home in the woods of Midgard, the season making survival tougher. Atreus, no longer a boy, has grown restless to understand his Jötunn heritage and his own role in Ragnarök (some of which Kratos has kept hidden from him), anxious about the destruction that’s sure to ensue once the ticking time bomb of Fimbulwinter ends.
