The Internet was treated with a piece of major news regarding Kratos by the Devs that may give the fans every reason to get hyped for in God of War Ragnarok. And that is exactly what happened as fans went crazy when they came to know about the news regarding the Ghost of Sparta.

The God of War series was known to be filled with violence and gore. The previous titles were all adult rated as the games depict scenes of intense violence, bloody gore, and mutilation.

But ever since the 2018 God of War, the series took a different turn, as the game depicted Kratos as a much more calm and more mature character who used violence only when it is necessary. But the devs tease that the new game may bring back the Violent God of Chaos.

On October 25, 2022, MBG reported through their official Twitter account that the Combat Designer of God of War Ragnarok has revealed that in the new game, the Ghost of Sparta may return. The bloody God of Chaos that Kratos used to be in the previous games may no longer be just a fragment of the past.

In the Tweet, MBG said, “God of War Ragnarok’s combat designer confirmed Kratos is going to be much more brutal in this game. It will be a lot closer to the version of Kratos from the earlier God of War titles.”

How did fans react to this news?

The fans of the series were ecstatic to know that the old Kratos may make a grand return. Although they loved the path that the series had taken in the 2018 game, there is a part that remains in their hearts, who wants to see the Ghost of Sparta go back to his roots.

Love the old games but never cared that 2018 wasn’t as 110% carnage as the others, but also not upset that Rangnarok will be more brutal either

Some of the fans even started speculating as to why the devs decided to go back to the old ways. They said that now Atreus has grown and started to understand what his destiny is, Kratos no longer needs to hold back. As in the previous game, Kratos was more of a dad than a God, who was trying his best to set a good example for his son.

Now that Atreus has grown up he doesn't need to control himself that much because Atreus already knows his path and will not get influenced by Kratos

No. This has been spoken about alot by the Devs even when 2018 released. Kratos was holding back his rage and his brutality throughout that game. He was trying to be a good father and role mod for Atreus. He didn't want his evils being passed onto his son.
He didn't want a fight.
