The gaming community believes that Atreus is not looking to follow in the footsteps of God of War.
Kratos was speechless 😳 | #godofwar #shorts #kratos #godofwar2018 #godofwaredit
God of War fans are convinced that not everyone is keen to follow the Spartan teachings. Kratos became the god he is today because his journey was forged in fire and had the benefit of his heritage to help him endure any hardships that may not do the same for his son.
Given a second chance at fatherhood, Kratos did his best to keep his former life away from Atreus. Being part giant and part demigod can be a curse as Atreus sets out to navigate his life away from his father's shadow.
Santa Monica Studio took a gamble and introduced Atreus as a companion throughout the Norse saga and gave Kratos a second chance. Not knowing the truth of his divinity, Atreus did everything to gain the approval of the former war god, feeling that he was unwanted given their differences. Some fans theorized that Atreus intentionally scarred his face to feel more like his father.
