God of War Creative Director Cory Barlog reveals details about the journey and characterization of Kratos, as the hype for the release of the game continues.<\/b>
\nLeading up to the highly anticipated release of the critically acclaimed God of War, exclusive to PlayStation 4, the game\u2019s Creative Director, Cory Barlog, has revealed some more details about the game\u2019s iconic hero, Kratos.
Barlog reveals details about Kratos\u2019 mentality in the game, the significance of his son, Atreus, and what type of journey Kratos is embarking on in the latest instalment of God of War. From the start of his explanation of Kratos, Barlog clearly states that the type of Kratos that we are about to encounter in the new God of War is vastly different from the confident and self-assured Kratos that we knew previously, and that he has in fact undergone \u201ca lot of change.\u201d
According to Barlog, in this God of War, Kratos will face the many internal problems that haunt him, since he has essentially \u201chit rock-bottom emotionally.\u201d According to Barlog, having a character who has deeply routed internal demons to face gives the gamer a sense of satisfaction upon completion of the game, as it feels like \u201cyou have accomplished something\u201d by allowing the character to redeem himself and some part of his humanity by the end of the game.
The footage from the game in this video also reveals that Kratos\u2019 son, Atreus, might have a significant part to play in the character\u2019s development, as Atreus is seen helping Kratos in many instances, which might also indicate some sense of vulnerability in the character of Kratos. From this teaser video, it is clear that a lot of careful consideration has gone into the characterization of Kratos, and fans should look forward to experiencing a Kratos who has more emotional depth than in past games.
Early reviews for God of War have been overwhelmingly positive \u2013 the game is currently the best reviewed PS4 game of all time \u2013 and anticipation for Friday continues to build each day. It won\u2019t be long before gamers can see the next step on Kratos\u2019 journey.
God of War is set to release on April 20,2018, exclusively for PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n
