For the players who have stuck with the
God of War series since the very beginning, the viciousness of the series can not be understated. Kratos has taken down legions of powerful enemies and gods, most of the time executing them in gory and glorious fashion.
But with all the killings and gore that composes the other games, Qizilbash told viewers during the GameStop Expo that they can expect
God of War to be the most violent game yet. While describing the Norse world that Kratos progresses through, Qizilbash said that the team that’s been working on the game has said themselves that this will be the most brutal game in the series to date.
Qizilbash explained that part of the reason the frigid
God of War world will be the most violent one yet has to do with the changes made to the combat system. Kratos typically takes on hordes of smaller enemies with larger adversaries peppered in to diversify battles, but the newest game focuses much more on 1v1 combat against more powerful enemies instead.
The Sony executive had described the game as being much more visceral, saying that players will feel every punch during the battles. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Qizilbash said that the game will also highlight the softer and more human side of Kratos, with a character that will struggle between the balances being a warrior and a father in the game. The game will have a early 2018 release.
