Additionally, there are two characters we can also expect to make an appearance in GOW 2. In it, Kratos and Atreus can be seen rowing a boat whose side contains a series of Norse letters that, when translated to English, reads, “Ragnarok is coming.” This pretty much confirms the next game will take place during or after the apocalyptic event. This includes a new theme that appeared on PS4 in April 2019 celebrating the game’s anniversary. In Norse myth, the death of multiple deities is directly connected to a cataclysmic event known as Ragnarok, which is referenced numerous times both in the game and in content released later on. This sets the perfect stage for a continuance, especially when you factor in Baldur’s death and how it’s interpreted through the scope of the game’s mythology. At the end of the mural, we can see a lifeless Kratos lying in the arms of Atreus as he looks up at something or someone conveniently blocked by a curtain. Lastly, we’re made aware of a prophecy that appears to already be set in motion as every event in the game up until this point is visually depicted on a mural that only because visible after Atreus’ touches the wall. Additionally, here we learn that Atreus has a second name that was given to him by the giants, referring to the boy as “Loki,” aka the Norse god of mischief. Afterward, Kratos and Atreus travel to Jotunheim to scatter Faye’s ashes, at which point it’s revealed she was actually a giantess, meaning Atreus is actually half-god half-giant.
God of War 2 Story and SettingĪt the end of the game, we saw Kratos facing off against the Norse god Baldur and ultimately defeat him. Requested roles include programming, art, and design teams with one listing in particular directly citing the most recent entry.
This is plausible considering the studio has been ramping up production according to a series of posted job listings first spotted by GamesRadar. With that in mind, its possible fans will be able to get their hands on GOW 2 as soon as April 2021, which would place it exactly three years apart from 2018’s God of War.
What we can say is it will almost definitely launch on Sony’s new PlayStation 5 gaming console, which is currently slated to release “Holiday 2020”.
Whether Santa Monica will end up naming the title God of War 2 or something else entirely is currently unknown. However, we can expect the sequel to have a much shorter turnaround since a majority of the groundwork has already been laid. This is based on a Kotaku interview with GOW Game Director Cory Balrog, where he explains why a bulk of the game’s five-year development was spent redesigning its combat engine. Considering that Sony Santa Monica has yet to confirm that they’re working on a new GOW, the game is likely early into development.
