Though there’s been no official announcement, it’s almost certain that a new chapter of the God of War series is in the works. This franchise has been a powerhouse for Sony for two decades, consistently appearing on each generation of PlayStation. Hence, it’s just a matter of time before we hear about another installment.
Rumors are flying around, with some suggesting that Kratos might be heading to Ancient Egypt, while others hint at a spin-off situated in the Greek Saga. Regardless of the setting, fans can expect to see some familiar faces making an appearance in the next epic tale of God of War.
Now, let’s dive into some classic characters that are likely to make a return in this next chapter:
Kratos
Who can imagine a new God of War game without Kratos? As the iconic protagonist, he’s expected to dominate the story, unless, of course, the new game focuses on Atreus, where he might play a secondary role. Either way, his presence, even if brief, seems inevitable.
Atreus
Even though the series isn’t named after him, Atreus has solidified his role as a co-lead. Fans would find it odd if he didn’t show up in some capacity, especially as his journey and character development have become integral to the series’ story.
Mimir
As the ever-chatty head with unparalleled knowledge, Mimir is more than just comic relief; he offers rich context and depth to the narrative. His dialogues have been fantastic at showing different sides of Kratos. It would be hard to imagine another journey without his insightful commentary.
Sindri
After enduring betrayals and tragic losses in God of War Ragnarok, Sindri’s story might not be over yet. His unresolved feelings towards Kratos and Atreus could fuel future confrontations, possibly driving a quest for vengeance or redemption in the upcoming game.
Thrud
In the aftermath of Ragnarok, Thrud discovers her father’s legendary hammer and soars into the sky. This act hints at her burgeoning role in future events. As she steps into her own as one of the Valkyries’ Shield-Maidens, her potential future appearance could add an exciting element to the next game.
Tyr
Tyr’s backstory of diverse travels positions him as a cultural bridge, enhancing whatever mythologies the series may explore next. Given his past adventures, it seems likely he would join Kratos in confronting another pantheon.
The anticipation for what comes next in the God of War franchise is palpable. As fans eagerly await any news, one thing remains constant: the next chapter promises to bring back cherished characters, each adding their unique flair to the unfolding saga.
