Where Did This Kid Come From? A Freebie from Playing Minigames? (Request Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

This short video, less than thirty seconds long, immediately sparked heated discussion among countless players.

The video might have been short, but it revealed far too much—and it was all explosive.

First of all, Kratos was in the game. That officially confirmed that he was alive, and that there would be a sequel.

For players who loved God of War, it was undoubtedly an incredibly pleasant surprise.

Another point was that the Kratos in the video was no longer the young Kratos, but a middle-aged or even elderly one.

Coupled with the fact that the gods of Greek Mythology had basically all been slaughtered, the setting of the new game left many players curious about where Kratos was now.

Kratos's appearance also surprised players.

What kind of character was this?

Whether they had played the games or only learned about them through videos, everyone shared one impression: this Spartan brute was a madman.

Even before becoming the God of War, while he was still doing the bidding of the Olympian Gods, Kratos had always been incomparably violent.

After the second game, when Kratos was betrayed by Zeus, he completely became an enraged machine of revenge.

Killing was the eternal theme. The endless aesthetics of violence made players' adrenaline surge.

Back then, Kratos feared neither heaven nor earth. If gods stood in his way, he killed gods; if Buddhas stood in his way, he killed Buddhas.

But what about now?

In this video, Kratos's gaze seemed exceptionally calm, and his face had aged considerably.

Whether gods had age limits was something no one could say for sure.

But one thing was certain: Kratos had grown old, at least judging by his appearance in the video.

With such a setup, what kind of story would this God of War sequel show players?
