2018\u2019s God of War<\/em><\/strong> gave the franchise a soft-reboot that saw Kratos take on some of the gods of Norse mythology, having destroyed the Greek pantheon in the previous trilogy. As such, many fans are expecting Odin to be the final boss of the sequel, which promises that \u201cRagnarok is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, unlike Zeus in God of War 3<\/em>, there are some good reasons that Odin may not be the final boss of the next God of War<\/em><\/a> at all. Here are some of the reasons Odin may be out of the picture earlier than expected, and some of the other characters who might step up for the next God of War<\/em>\u2019s final showdown.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In the original God of War<\/em> trilogy, there is a prophecy that claims that a Marked Warrior will destroy the Hellenic gods of Olympus. In God of War 2<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>this prophecy, combined with the paranoia released from Pandora\u2019s Box, causes Zeus to try to kill Kratos, ironically ultimately causing the doom of the Greek gods when Kratos survives and comes back for revenge.<\/p>\n

Odin\u2019s fate, however, is part of a very different prophecy. In Ragnarok<\/a>, Odin is destined to be eaten by the giant wolf Fenrir, who will break free of the chain made to bind him.<\/p>\n

The image of Odin being swallowed by the wolf is one of the most important moments in the destruction of the Norse gods, and Mimir<\/a> makes reference to Fenrir in God of War<\/em> 2018, which confirms the presence of the great wolf in the game\u2019s universe.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s likely that Odin will be involved in some of the boss fights in the next God of War<\/em>, it\u2019s also ultimately likely that he will still ultimately be eaten by Fenrir instead of killed by Kratos and Atreus. In one sense, there may still be a connection: Atreus is revealed to be Loki<\/a> at the end of the last game, and in the myths, Fenrir is Loki\u2019s child, which may be reworked in some way to fit the game\u2019s timeline.<\/p>\n

However, if Odin isn\u2019t the last boss of God of War<\/em>\u2019s Ragnarok sequel, it begs the question of which character Santa Monica Studio<\/a> will ultimately pick for the player to face down as the Twilight of the Gods engulfs the Nine Realms of Norse mythology.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that Baldur himself will return. In some versions of the prophecy, Baldur is resurrected after Ragnarok. However, fans may be more interested to see other characters take center stage, and the deaths of Magni and Modi<\/a> in the first game \u2013 who survive in the Ragnarok myth \u2013 suggests that God of War<\/em> may not be setting up the same gods to survive Ragnarok as the mythology.<\/p>\n

Thor is another possibility. He is the most famous of the Norse gods in popular culture, he appears in Atreus\u2019 vision in God of War<\/em> 2018\u2019s secret ending<\/a>, and his lightning powers are reminiscent of Zeus. However, Thor and the World Serpent are fated to mutually mortally wound each other during Ragnarok\u2019s final battle.<\/p>\n

The Jotunheim mural<\/a>\u2019s final panel at the end of God of War<\/em> hints that perhaps the next game\u2019s final battle could be between Kratos and Loki himself. The panel shows Atreus cradling what looks like the now unmarked body of Kratos, though this may suggest the cycle of familial violence that has dominated the story of God of War<\/em> has finally been broken. Whoever the final boss of God of War<\/em>\u2019s Ragnarok sequel is, it could be far less predictable than Zeus\u2019 role as the final antagonist in God of War 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0God of War<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0sequel is in development.<\/p>\n
