God of War developer Sony Santa Monica Studio has revealed that it’s keen on keeping future instalments in the PlayStation-exclusive franchise locked in Norse mythology for the time being.

Speaking during an interview with JagatPlay, the company’s Senior Community Strategist, Adam Kauffman, heavily indicated that not only are they happy with the current setting for Kratos’ adventures, but his young son Atreus will probably be joining him for more limb-ripping antics.

Kauffman described the upcoming God of War for PS4 as ‘Chapter Two of Kratos,’ and that while plans for the future are ‘undetermined’ right now, the team is keen ‘to stay in the Norse universe’ and ‘explore’ the relationship between the pair. ‘But we also know our fans out there are very savvy and smart, and we wouldn’t just add Atreus to God of War if it were only a one off,’ he added. 

Alice had a chance to go hands-on with the highly anticipated action-adventure title, so be sure to read up on her thoughts to see how it’s shaping up. Oh, and don’t worry about microtransactions being part of the package.
