In the context of Nordic mythology, Kratos and Atreus will face the Nordic deities who are extremely cautious, always trying to protect themselves against Kratos, for being somewhat aware of his involvement. in Olympus being destroyed. Sony Santa Monica is quite quiet in the presence of the Nordic gods who will appear, but most believe that Thor and Loki are likely to be two of the Nordic gods in the game. In addition, players will be able to meet other mythological characters such as the giant snake Jormungandr, the pair of dwarf blacksmith Sindri and Brok (two of whom contributed to Thor's Mjolnir**), Mímir Some other characters are unknown.

New God of War play: Slower, but still violent

Since its inception, God of War has been known for its high-speed, violent action, with Kratos swinging its Blades of Chaos and slicing its way through the enemies. With this latest version, players will have access to a less "virtual" fighting style. There are no longer 100+ combo discharge days, but rather slower but more aggressive attacks. God of War director Cory Barlog noted that they wanted players to think about how they fought, much like the Dark Souls approach, but in a more "breath-taking" way. It is slower and more methodical when compared to previous versions.
Kratos is now "slow but sure", and varied no less than in the past

The God of War series has a core theme, reflecting the dark side of the power-givers of the world: the gods.
And Kratos symbolizes vulnerable people (GoW1), got ready to fight back (GoW2-3) and wish for a peaceful life (GoW2018), but no one is free. These are the Nordic deities.
Because of this, it is interesting to note that the antagonists / villains of Kratos in the legend are always good gods that make the element attractive and not boring in the game.
If with the legend, almost all the gods of righteousness, such as Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Athena, are evil-centered, and Titanic in the gods is described as pretty good and helpful. support the main.
With this new version, from the very beginning we meet Baldur, Odin's son and minions. In the Nordic myth, Baldur is the light, honest and honest, even the most handsome, Asgard. Thor, through his narrative of a warlike and bloodthirsty hero, Kratos' opponent is Odin's guardian Valkyrie, while the Giants are good though they are just past and in narrative, Atreus / Loki is the blood that is left over.


In addition to the Nordic deities, there is still the existence of a mysterious figure who has followed Kratos from his days in Greece. It was Athena, the intellectual god, one of the last survivors of Olympus. It seems absurd, however, that Athena actually appears indirectly in this "God of War North". The only scene that Athena is present is when Kratos decides to re-use the Blade of Chaos.

Northern Europe legend, Athena is still here, always accompanying every step of Kratos. Why did Kratos fall into the new war in Midgard? Why in a world seemingly unrelated to Greek myths is Athena present?
At the end of season 3, Kratos lost the legendary Blades of Chaos weapon. (But according to some leaked clips, there is still a certain segment, which players can swing it to kill enemies), and instead is the magic leviathan Leviathan. The player can pass on the ax to different skills, to enhance its power in different directions. Axes can also be thrown to "pin" enemies on the ground, attack them normally, hit environmental objects, and even stun larger enemies, weakness. Especially instead of having to ... run back and pick up the ax after throwing, Kratos can call it back to the Thor style call his hammer.

Kratos will also have a "rage" stick, increasing as he battles. When filled, he can release his special ability, the Spartan Rage, which increases his speed and power, and can be used to kill the enemy. Since this is a single-player game and Kratos is the only character that can be controlled, the player can "signal" Atreus to shoot arrows at the enemy to assist, or play the role of "prey" attracting attention. of the enemy. In addition, the new God of War also brings new armor-making systems, weapons upgrades, and more. Kratos will now have experience points to level up, thereby learning new skills, and this is similar to Atreus.

+At 30:49, the kratos fought the first boss with the help of the atreus. When not strong enough, this boss made the kratos quite difficult to destroy it.
+In combat, Kratos uses a combination of axes and shields. He also uses a slashing effect on a certain area. It is not clear how these attacks will work, and whether there is a counter on the screen, because the scene does not include the player interface.

• Game is still violent.
  +Atreus will also engage in combat at some point, playing Kratos' supporting role.
  

At the beginning of the trailer, Kratos throws the Leviathan ax into the water. This is actually the way to summon the World Serpent, a giant snake that wants to help Kratos and Atreus. In Norse mythology, the World Serpent is one of Loki's sons, and Thor is his enemy. Could this suggest that Thor would be the main rival of Kratos in God of War?

+At 1:23 we can see something like a giant Jotun (a kind of entity that is opposite to gods and other characters like dwarfs or fiends). Also at 1:26 there is an image of something similar to the rolling of the god Mjolnir. In the trailer, Kratos' son claims to have been cursed and different from his father, but it is unclear how this will match the plot.

The head that Kratos carries behind is believed to be from Baldur, the light god of northern Europe.

+At 1:28, we can see two wolves with bright eyes. They may be Warg (a wolf in Nordic mythology, related to the Fenrir wolf and their two children, Skoll and Hati), but it is unclear whether they are Fenrir, or Skoll, or Hati.

+At 1:48, there are some conversations that the Nordic gods are not happy to see Kratos appear in their world: "The gods of this world are not friendly to outsiders. Trust me, when they find you, and they will, they will make things difficult. "

+In combat, Kratos uses a combination of axes and shields. He also uses a slashing effect on a certain area. It is not clear how these attacks will work, and whether there is a counter on the screen, because the scene does not include the player interface.
