God of War: Ragnarok is now barely 15 days away folks and the anticipation surrounding the game is at its peak. The second trailer for the game reassured fans that they are in for an adventure of a lifetime and that PS4 era will go out with a bang! Last month we brought to you some new leaks and spoilers about the game including Odin, new enemies, main plot, Thor, The Norns, Svartalfheim, and more. Just a few days ago we shared a massive Thor vs Kratos leak with you and today we have for you something that all of us have been debating about for a long time! Be warned, though, that a few minor spoilers follow below and you should proceed at your own risk.
God of War: Ragnarok Atreus Is Playable Now!
Ever since, God of War: Ragnarok was announced, fans have debated about the fact whether Atreus will be a playable character or not. Well, it seems like he will indeed be playable character now thanks to the new leaks. Although, it is unknown exactly how much time or how many quests Atreus will be playable for but I personally believe that it would be as much as Ciri was in Witcher 3. That is not a lot but just enough to feel fresh once in a while and experience a slightly different combat system within the same game.
As you may know, players did have a slight level of control over Atreus in God of War 2018 and could order him to fire arrows, and summon one runic attack. But that was it and that doesn’t qualify as a playable character but this time it is evident that he will be properly playable. You can see in the image featured above that Atreus has his own UX and combat system. We can see his health bar, and two runic summon slots most probably Light and Heavy runic attacks. We can also see the main sigil charged up about 1/3rd the way. It is possible it might be his rage meter or some new kind of move/power. We also have a few more details and images for you guys, especially regarding Atreus.
In the God of War: Ragnarok images attached above you can see that Thor evidently visits Kratos’ house and we can also see Atreus in the background. At this point Thor seems calm and compliments Kratos’ home but in the very next image we can see Thor going up against Kratos. So, this makes us belief that Thor visits them and tries to reason but quickly loses his calm and goes on to battle Kratos. Also, all this seems to be happening early on in the game and this might be where Kratos loses all his power and weapons and players start from scratch once again. It is also possible that the person Atreus can be seen shooting is actually Thor or Odin. Won’t that be cool? I mean we are pretty sure he’ll go up against them at some point in the game.
Next we can see Atreus having a moment with Freya who still looks pretty distraught and heartbroken at Baldur’s demise. In the next image we can see Atreus and the Midgard Serpent and someone hiding behind Atreus who I do not recognize. Lastly, we can see Atreus crying and hugging what seems to be mortally wounded wolf. It might be Fenrir or one of his children, Skol or Hati. So yeah, we are pretty sure God of War: Ragnarok is going to be more about Atreus than Kratos and we are in fact worried that Kratos might not make it out alive at all.
