What To Expect From Ragnarök In God of War

Theending ofGod of Warprovides a pile of insight into where the future of the series could go next , and establish that there ’s so much to work with , it ’s unsurprising that Santa Monica studios is already gear up to publish a newGod of Waronly two years since the previous biz ’s release .   Throughout the game , it was implied that Ragnarök – the net battle between the idol and forces of evil , finally leading to the destruction of the Norse immortal – was on the sensible horizon . At one point , after Baldur dies , for instance , Mimir commented that there would be snow for three class before the onset of Ragnarök , and consideringGod of Warreleased in 2018 and the next continuation will come out in 2021 , the timeline perfectly adds up . With Ragnarök being the last - all be - all of engagement , players can expect central Norse God like Odin and Thor to play an authoritative role , which makes sense give how heavily they were referenced in the 2018 game .

It ’s also been implied thatKratos may meet his fatein the next game . When the father and Logos hit Jotunheim at the last ofGod of War 2018 , they ’re meet with a smorgasbord of murals that not only tell their taradiddle so far but also prognosticate what will happen in the future . One of the paintings picture Atreus hold Kratos as he appears to take his last breath . The image is surrounded by ancient Norse bankrupt that when translated come along to say ‘ death , ’ ‘ beginner , ’ ‘ mourned ’ and ‘ give away . ’ Not only does Kratos ’ end seem to be foreshadowed , but the mural may also be involve that Atreus will have something to do with it .

Even more telling , however , the murals reveal theAtreus is actually Loki . In Norse mythology , Loki is picture as a slicker who is finally adopt by Odin . The boy may somehow be convinced by Odin to shit his Church Father , thereby leading to Kratos ’ last and Atreus ’ ( aka . Loki ’s ) sufferance by the Norse gods . Of naturally , it stay to be see exactly what the newGod of Wargamewill include , but with an prescribed release twelvemonth of 2021 , players wo n’t have to wait too much longer to find out .
