God Of War Ragnarok originally had a very different plan for Kratos.At the end of 2018’s God Of War, protagonist Kratos sees a mural prophesying his own death, and the same image makes a reappearance early on in Ragnarok.In a new interview with MinnMax, narrative director at Sony Santa Monica, Matt Sophos spoke about Kratos’ promised demise.“There was the earliest, earliest draft of an outline that we had come up with, that we took to [director Eric Williams where] Kratos died in the Thor fight at the very beginning of the game,” he said (via VGC).“He was gonna die [but] it wasn’t a permanent death. What was going to happen [was that] he would get pulled out of Hell, essentially, by Atreus,” Sophos continued, before explaining there “was going to be a big time jump” of 20 years.He added that he doesn’t care about revealing this new information “because it doesn’t happen any more, so this is all fan fiction at this point.”Apparently, Williams was the one who vetoed Kratos’ death in God Of War Ragnarok though.​​“Eric was like, ‘I don’t want to do that, Kratos has died and come back from it too many times’,” Sophos explained.
