It's fair to assume that he's going to get bigger, stronger, and a bit more comfortable with his godly abilities within the space of three years. While the game doesn't state this outright - at least, not that I can recall - Atreus is about eleven or twelve years old in God of War, judging from his appearance. Brok commented that this period of heavy snow and blizzards had kicked off after Baldur's death, and Fimbulwinter is basically the pre-game special for Ragnarok, the total annihilation of all the Nine Realms. This scene takes place roughly three years later, at the end of Fimbulwinter. There's gonna be a time skip - The "secret" ending of the 2018 game sees Atreus have a prophetic dream, where Thor arrives at Kratos and Atreus's house looking for bloody revenge for the deaths of Magni and Modi. He can also talk to animals, like Brok's beast of burden, Freya's turtle-house thing, and even the world serpent Jörmungandr. We've already seen him summon numerous animal familiars in combat, including wolves, deer, and bears. The first thing Atreus asks Kratos after learning he's actually a god is "Can I turn into an animal?" This is probably our biggest clue about what's to come for Boy in the journeys ahead.Ī wee bit of foreshadowing. In the source myths, a lot of those hijinks hinged on Loki's ability to take the form of animals and even other human beings. You don't need to have taken a course on Norse mythology in college to know what the MCU and Tom Hiddleston have already taught us - Loki is a wily little weasel, a master of cunning, and basically always up to some annoying shit.
He's likely to be a shapeshifter - At the tail end of the last game, Atreus learned that his dear departed mother had another, secret name for him: Loki. And there's already a lot of evidence to suggest that Atreus is going to go through some pretty dramatic changes from the weedy kiddo of the first game.Įnding spoilers ahead for God of War (2018).Ĥ. Though the Ragnarok reveal didn't show us any footage of the characters or gameplay, we have plenty of clues about what to expect in the next installment, thanks to the previous game and the new title. The 2018 game was the fourth in the popular series, and saw an older, wiser Kratos wrangle his complex relationship to his gangly tween son, Atreus. Does this tell us that Black Panther doesn't really have much of a set-up planned for the two-part blockbuster? Along those same lines, does this mean that the events portrayed in Inhumans aren't really influenced by Infinity War, in that it doesn't matter if the story unfolds before or after the crossover is done? It's definitely an interesting shake-up.On September 16, Sony Santa Monica Studio finally copped to one of the worst-kept secrets in the games industry - God of War: Ragnarok is currently in development, and slated for a 2021 release on PlayStation 5. After all, Black Panther was originally set up to be the lead-in film to The Avengers: Infinity War, but now its story won't be unfolding until the first half of that crossover story is complete. On the surface, these shifts don't really seem like that big a deal, as basically everything post- Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is just moving back one space, but it also does paint an interesting picture for what we can expect in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
