DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO GOD OF WAR..
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS, THE GAME ISN’T ABOUT KRATOS.
it's about Faye - his dead wife. the woman whose funeral opened the entire Norse saga. and if your first thought is "who cares about her," that's the trick the last two games played on you.
everything you did, she had already prepared:
- she marked the trees and set the path that would reveal the full prophecy
- she sent Kratos and Atreus on the exact journey they needed to become who they had to be
- she stayed so hidden that the gods were still hunting her long after she was ashes
- and through all of it, she was never once playable. just a body on a pyre. a face in flashbacks.
Kratos didn't lead that saga. he followed it.
we played the man three steps behind his wife.
now we finally play the woman who was three steps ahead of everyone.
