Rumors about God of War 6 being a prequel have sparked mixed reactions among fans. While some love the idea of exploring Kratos’ past, others believe the franchise should move forward.
After the events of God of War Ragnarök, players have speculated about what comes next. Many expected Kratos to journey into a new mythology, but Game Rant has now suggested that the next game could be a prequel instead.
On gaming forums, fans have shared different opinions. One Reddit user, SaturdayBoi, said, “They should move forward with the story. Hopefully, the prequel rumors are just flashback gameplay instances from when he visited Egypt before the Norse realms.” Another player, TieLow7912, argued, “There’s no reason to go backwards, we know everything about Kratos.”
However, some players welcome the idea. One fan wrote, “I’d love to see Kratos in between how he was in Greek GoW vs. Norse GoW. See raging Kratos find his stoic self. That would be fun.”
Another suggested a game where players experience Kratos’ early days as a Spartan warrior, rising through the ranks before his fateful deal with the Greek gods.
Regardless of what’s next, one thing is clear—fans want more Kratos. Now, it’s up to Santa Monica Studio to decide if they should explore his past or take him to new lands.
