God of War Kratos Son Atreus True Identity Revealed

Subtlety in writing in an underrated and underused aspect in storytelling. Imagine if in this scene, after taking off the bandages, Kratos said something stupid like “Boy, these are the scars of my past, when I served and then became the god of war. I am now free of my pain because I have accepted who I was and will choose to become better.”

It robs the player/audience of the implied emotional impact that is already being implied through the music, animations, voice acting, body language, visuals, and everything we have learned in the game up to this point.

Instead, he just says “I have nothing more to hide.” Not to mention the voice acting, this line is so simple yet it says so much. This subtlety has been lacking in storytelling and lacked a lot in Ragnarok, which is why God of War 2018 has a better story than Ragnarok in my opinion.

The writing in this game is so tight. Imo the story is the best in the series. So focused and mysterious.

Atreas’s name after a spartan warrior is lightweight more epic

I wish I have the money to buy the PS4

Ngl Atreus is a cutie

The camera moves like a person...

Can we get a movie about kratos already Jesus Christ it doesn't take a genius to know how big and highly anticipated it would be. Kratos the Most Chad of chads that's ever lived.

Anyone else who didn't play the game yet know the whole story through clips like me?

I like when kratos lent his son his shoulder when they were climbing. Found it cute

"Atreus, I'm... I'm Batman."

1 logic thing after you release the chains in GOW 4:
After the cutscene the chains and the armor come back!

We do it together, SON! The moment we all cried...

i wonder if that Atreus story is a foreshadowing

I had the game on a ps4 then I bought a ps5 and the game didn't work😢

Na

is it a coincidence he has the same armor as the ones i used to finish the game?

(except the waist armour)

literally this scene felt so peaceful

I like the reason behind Atreus's name.

Kratos: i have nothing more to hide epic moment

Atreus Been Atreus: can we go now :D?

Kratos: i have nothing more to hide epic moment

Atreus Been Atreus: can we go now :D?

I like to think his first wife and Faye would share stories of Kratos with each other. Calliope would be smiling and watching over her little half brother.

well, this is crap the "GOD OF WAR" nursing his puppy son while batling crazy strong other GODS "REALLY" send the kid to kindergarten you Daddy ex-GOD of WAR! Well don't be shy and make him carry a baby while fighting GodS it's kind of GOD of BULLSHIT at this point.

I would rewrite the God of War franchise where baldur is Quadriplets and Kratos kills three of her sons at the exact same time leaving her with only one son left. And Atreus is triplets with Spartan robes, Shields, Spartan Swords, Recurve Bows and Arrows and rings for their Spears.

Why is it that the Blades look so much better in this game but the Axe looks better in the newer one

Imagine if it played "Rage of Sparta" in this scene

And a giant and a god

He is loki

Wish i could go back to 2003

Atreus: can we go now??

Kratos mind: boi, I'm having an emotional moment right now, you blind??😒

Teljes tiszteletem a ps4 nek! Ezek a játékok arra készültek! Köszönjük hogy meg élhettük ezeket a csodákat! Köszönjük a fejlesztő csapatnak, és a playstationak! Köszönjük Sony!

Atreus: can we go now ?
Kratos: IN A MINUTE!!

You are what your father is,so Atreus is a spartan by blood.

Boy didn’t know all the gods that his dad demolished..And when his dad was in a deep moment he’s like “can we go now?” 💀

No one talking about how Atreus of Sparta's story was beautiful yet bittersweet.

This scene is a comfort to me in dark times

gow really went from bloody and killing to a calm game

So now can Loki take the souls from ragnarok and go back to here and use those bodies for the giants in the marbles from ironwood ?

NI-

Wait I had this question for a long time now:
Is it possible that kratos can tell Jesus that he can remove the curse or is it stuck to kratos until he dies?

Edit: if it isn't possible I guess kratos is just...well stuck for now

Did anyone else think that the thing holding the axe looks like the Olympus sign

When you think gow 4 and far cry 4 have same main goal, spill the ashes of your mother😅

isnt Atreus actually like 75% god since kratos is the son of Zeus

Why does Atreus sounds like aang from avatar

KRATOS

i legit thought there’s would be a boss fight when I got here bc when Atreus said guardian I prepared spartan rage😂

It's fun to hear Kratos talk so much all at once. When he spoke of Atreus of Sparta, he seemed to enjoy himself

Kratos just untie his hands bands but in scene with ashes developer are too busy playing music🤣🤣

The writers deserve kudos 👏 for this story arc of redemption. Something Anerica sorely needs today. 😔

takes off chains and wraps ... I am done. wraps and chains reappears ... DAMN.
