God of War: How Atreus Could Become Just As Cool As Kratos
03.01.2024 - 19:55 / fortressofsolitude.co.za
What if we told you that the future of the God of War franchise might just lie in the hands of Kratos’ young son, Atreus?
Could The Next God of War Be A Woman?
Whether you best remember him as a whirlwind of rage, a juggernaut mercilessly dispatching even literal deities, or as a weathered mentor trying to keep his simmering fury at bay in his twilight years, few characters in gaming history have undergone the same stark transformation as Kratos.
Once a numb killing machine endlessly screaming for vengeance, this fallen God of War has somehow found a scrap of humanity amidst the ruins of his wrath: his son, Atreus. He is the man (well, god, technically) who brought the Greek pantheon to its knees – and yet, parenthood might be his ultimate challenge.
While fans still debate who’s the better Kratos – and even the series creator feels he might have gone a bit too mellow in his more recent appearances – one thing is sure: we still haven’t seen all there’s to see in Atreus.
Still, even though God of War Ragnarök offered us a better look into Atreus as a protagonist, there’s still lots of potential for a character as unique as him in the franchise’s future.
When we first meet Atreus, he seems like an innocent – if slightly rebellious – kid. At first glance, players coming into God of War from God of War 3 might even be worried the game would become one long escort mission. However, as you grow attached to Atreus, you’ll find that he represents the culmination of Kratos’ character journey.
Not only does Atreus eventually become a formidable warrior on his own terms, but the journey to do so is indicative of Kratos’ growth as a character.
From the start, I think it would be nearly impossible for Kratos’ son to be as physically strong as his father. Atreus’ upbringing wasn’t as traumatic as his father’s, nor was he ever enrolled in an army of any sort. While some might see this as a sign of weakness, that fact is actually what makes Atreus such an interesting powerhouse.
Kratos is a bruiser – your typical “punch-first, ask-questions-later” kind of hero. Nothing wrong with the archetype, mind you, but Atreus doesn’t need this mentality to conquer his foes.
Throughout the God of War reboot, we see an Atreus who grows up not just as a boy discovering the harshness of the world, but also as the son of the god of war, who left nothing but misery in his path for revenge. Eventually, with the realization of his divine nature, we finally get in Atreus the idea of a new god of war – one who understands that warfare has many faces – and that “beating everything to death” isn’t necessarily the best course of action.
