Sony Santa Monica writer Matt Sofos noted that in the first version of God of War: Ragnarok’s plot, the main character, Spartan general Kratos, dies early in the game. He told the details of the first script in an interview with his YouTube channel. MinnMax.
“This was the earliest draft of the game’s story that we found and took to game director Eric Williams. According to that scenario, Kratos dies in a battle with Thor at the very beginning of the game,” Sophos said.
According to the writer, the game wanted to show in this way that the prophecy of Kratos’ death in the mural in the last episode of the series, released in 2018, will come true at the very beginning of God of War: Ragnarok.
“So he would die, and it was not a permanent death. What was supposed to happen – and we can say that, because development has already ended, so it’s like fan fiction right now – Atreus’ son had to get him out of local hell, ”Sophos said.
He pointed out that the main plotline was that it took about 20 years for Atreus to find Kratos in the Scandinavian world of Helheim, where the souls of the dead go.
“I don’t want to do that, Kratos has died and returned many times, and that’s going to be a bit too much,” said Sophos.
As a result, the developers decided to remake the scenario in which Kratos survived, unlike the predicted mural.
“Knowing that Scandinavian mythology is all about destiny, prophecy and all that, we wanted to say with a new plot that this is bullshit. There is nothing that cannot be rewritten. As long as you are ready to make changes in your life, you are not tied to fate, ”the screenwriter concluded.
It was previously reported Sony Located in the center of London The weapon of the character Kratos from the games God of War 2018 and God of War: Ragnarok is a monument in the form of a giant ax Leviathan.
