We wanted to remind players that Freya isn’t just a terrifyingly powerful user of Vanir magic, but also that she’s a formidable warrior in her own right. Enraged by Kratos’ evasion of justice by her hand, Freya will turn every weapon at her disposal towards her son’s killer.Īlso suffering the loss of his sons and half-brother, Thor’s legendary bloodlust and wrath will be aimed at Kratos and Atreus. We show a brief look at two of the main antagonists you’ll face in God of War Ragnarök: Freya and Thor.īecause of Kratos’ actions at the end of the previous game, the once-ally-turned-enemy Freya has sworn vengeance for the death of her son, Baldur. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches. Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir. Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his family safe, but Atreus also doesn’t want to stand by and do nothing while conflict consumes the Nine Realms.

The mystery of Loki’s role in the upcoming conflict is something that Atreus cannot let go of.

In this case, he wants to understand who he could be. Like most young people, he wants to understand who he is more than anything. While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw.Ītreus is desperately curious. The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before. As you can see in the trailer, we’re picking up a few years after the events of God of War (2018).
