Krataos has seen some of the most drastic character shifts. He is one of the most popular fictional characters who does not seem to lose his relevance anytime soon.
God of War Valhallamarked the beginning of a new era for Kratos, with people believing that he might be transforming into a God of Hope.
Young Kratos from the older games was perceived as an arrogant, mighty, and selfishGod of Warwho killed Zeus in the name of revenge, an event that shaped him in ways unimaginable for a mortal to even fathom. This event occurred in the second game of the series, which set Kratos on a journey of endless deaths and hatred, making him more miserable with each adventure he took.
Kratos lost all he had earned and lost it too in the most brutal way imaginable. His family was destroyed, his brother killed, his wife dead, and his little daughter too fell victim to the fate of being aGod of War’sdaughter. Despite defeating Zeus and Aries, the mighty gods, he could not still do anything to save his family.

Whether Kratos will become God of Hope fromGod of Waris hard to say, as he merely reflects on the same in the DLC. However, his actions in the previous two games have made one thing certain: that he does not crave living the life of a god anymore.
There is a huge chance that he might walk away from the title of being a God altogether; however, it is highly unlikely that we would be able to do so since he is bound to the doomed fate of being a God for eternity.
