Going off the beaten track to tell a new story and subvert player expectations allowed Ragnarok to grow into an award-winning blockbuster now sweeping game nominations and hearts worldwide. Rather than focussing on his death, and the rigid nature of prophecy, the team wanted an uplifting narrative – one that spoke to the power of evolving, and the rewarding nature of choosing your path forward, despite the consequences. ‘When we landed on that, when we know that was the story we wanted to tell. ‘As long as you’re willing to make changes in your life then you’re not bound to fate,’ Sophos explained. The decision also had a major impact on the overall message of the game: that fate is not locked in stone, and that ‘nothing is written that can’t be unwritten’. He was absolutely right and so, that’s why it didn’t last very long.’ ‘The hook, the emotion, wasn’t really going to be there. ‘Eric was like, “I don’t want to do that, Kratos has died and come back from it too many times”,’ Sophos explained. No death is better than a cheap death – and it appears Santa Monica came to this realisation early in the narrative development process. If Kratos were to die, and then suddenly be resurrected with few consequences, the dire prophecy of the prior game would have felt throwaway. Read: God of War Ragnarok’s ending folded, when it should’ve gone all inĪccording to Sophos, the direction was later shifted, as the team didn’t want to dampen the impact of death in the series. It was going to be a big “time jump” type thing.’ What was going to happen … he would get pulled out of Hel, essentially, by Atreus … 20 years have passed. ‘He was going to die, and then it wasn’t a permanent death. ‘There was the earliest, earliest draft of an outline that we had come up with … Kratos died in the Thor fight at the very beginning of the game,’ Sophos told MinnMax of Ragnarok‘s initial draft. In one early draft of the game’s narrative, he did die – at the hands of Thor, god of thunder.
