Is Atreus Ready to Lead in God of War?

Though it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Sony or Santa Monica Studios, it seems more than likely that Atreus will be the star of the next God of War game 🚀. There might be room for Atreus’ God of War adventure to have playable supporting characters, but the son of Kratos will inevitably be taking center stage, and he may or may not be ready for this position.

Atreus Has Some Big Shoes to Fill in His God of War Game

The God of War franchise has been defined by the personality and inner struggles of Kratos. While 2018’s God of War is a major departure from the rest of the series in just about every way, a big part of why the narrative works so well is because it’s informed by the rich history of Kratos as a character; the tale of overcoming guilt and shame wouldn’t be as effective if it wasn’t preceded by multiple stories that establish what Kratos has to be guilty and shameful about. Atreus doesn’t have the benefit of this long history, and players have already seen him develop quite a bit, so there’s less room for growth.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though. Atreus is still learning about himself, not just as a god, but as a young man—he’s only about fourteen in Ragnarok, after all. So, while he’s led an extremely eventful life, there are so many directions Santa Monica could take when developing his character into an adult. He could grow more powerful, of course, but traveling and meeting new people, especially without the guidance of his father, could cause him to reevaluate his ethics, worldview, and interpersonal relationships.

Sunny Suljic, the actor behind Atreus, turned eighteen last year, and his real-life maturation could be reflected in how Atreus is portrayed in his next in-game appearance.

Atreus Gameplay Has to Maintain the High God of War Standards

While it’s arguably not as important as his role in the narrative, how Atreus feels to control will also be a major factor in the success of his solo game. Atreus is different from Kratos when it comes to his approach to combat, favoring fluid movement, magical abilities, and ranged attacks over brute strength and overwhelming physicality. Players got a taste of Atreus’ combat abilities in Ragnarok, but if he is going to be the protagonist of the next game, Santa Monica will need to flesh out his mechanics, expanding them while ensuring that they are different enough from Kratos’. In other words, he can’t feel like Kratos with a bow and arrow.

While putting Atreus at the helm of the next God of War comes with some challenges, it also has a great deal of potential, as Santa Monica can further develop him from both narrative and gameplay perspectives. With a clear creative vision and a willingness to embrace major change, the developers could very well make an Atreus-led God of War game something special.
