for 2018's "god of war", game director cory barlog explained that kratos had to change his cycle of violence and learn how to control his rage. he said that kratos had made many bad decisions, which led to the destruction of olympus, and wanted to know what would happen if kratos made a good decision. the birth of barlog's own son influenced the idea of kratos' character change. the canceled live-action "star wars" television series was also an influence. the bond between kratos and his son is at the heart of the game and barlog said "this game is about kratos teaching his son how to be a god, and his son teaching kratos how to be human again." referencing the marvel comics character hulk, barlog said that in regards to kratos, "we've already told the story of the hulk. we want to tell the story of banner now." christopher judge, best known as teal'c from "stargate sg-1", replaced t.c. carson as the voice of kratos in the game; carson had voiced kratos since the original "god of war". commenting in response to the change, carson said, "sony went in a new direction."
kratos (god of war)
many years after the events of "god of war iii", kratos, having survived his apparent death from releasing the power of hope in greece, ended up in ancient scandinavia in the norse realm of midgard with a young son named atreus, who is unaware of his true nature. kratos has abandoned his double-chained blades, and uses a magical battle axe called the leviathan axe that originally belonged to his second wife and atreus' mother laufey, who recently passed and who kratos called faye. her last wish was for her ashes to be spread at the highest peak of the nine realms. at midgard's peak, they learn from mímir that the highest peak is actually in jötunheim. along their journey, they are confronted by the æsir god baldur, the brother of thor whose sons modi and magni assist their uncle, but are killed by kratos and atreus. around this time, atreus falls ill. to cure him, kratos must recover his old weapons, the blades of chaos, in order to battle the beings of helheim as the leviathan axe is useless there. while retrieving the blades, athena appears and goads him about his past. kratos journeys to hel and retrieves the cure by killing the troll that guards the realm. after curing him, kratos reveals to atreus that he is a god. the pair also receive assistance from a witch, later revealed to be the vanir god freya, the mother of baldur who had cast a spell of immortality on baldur which protects him, but also causes him to no longer feel pain or pleasure, which he resented her for. kratos and baldur eventually battle, during which, baldur's spell is broken. kratos decides to let baldur go, but baldur attempts to kill freya, forcing kratos to kill him. freya swears revenge against kratos for killing her son and taunts kratos for not revealing his troubled past to atreus. kratos decides to tell atreus that he had killed his fellow greek gods, including his father zeus (whose illusion he and atreus saw in helheim alongside an illusion of a younger kratos from "god of war iii" showing their final confrontation), but he and atreus should learn from these experiences and not repeat past mistakes. the two then make their way to jötunheim, where it is learned that faye was actually a giant, also making atreus part-giant. it is also revealed that faye originally wanted to name their son loki, but kratos preferred atreus, which was the name of an honorable spartan comrade. the giants also referred to kratos as fárbauti. in midgard, fimbulwinter began, and after returning home, atreus has a vision that thor will come for them at the end of fimbulwinter.
