Upcoming Rumored God of War Remake Needs To Revive One Defining Moment That Proved Kratos Is More Than Just A Raging Savage

The God of War series has been a big part of gaming history. Gamers have experienced intense action and deep mythology with an unforgettable protagonist in Kratos. And with rumors of a potential remake of the original God of War trilogy, fans are ready to revisit Kratos’ Greek mythology saga.

While much of the speculation is centered on updated graphics and gameplay, there is one controversial moment that needs to be revived. If you think of Kratos in the original trilogy, your mind will think of how savage and violent he was. But we saw more of him than just that in those games.

According to a report from Need4Games, developer Nixxes is working on a remastered collection of the Greek-era God of War games, aiming for a release to coincide with the series’ 20th anniversary in 2025.

The trilogy remaster is anticipated to include God of War, God of War 2, God of War 3, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and Ascension. Outside of the PS4 remaster of God of War 3, this will be the first time these games are available on modern platforms.

In the original trilogy, Kratos is often shown as a merciless and rage-filled anti-hero. The story follows him on his quest for vengeance against the Greek gods, driven by the loss of his family. While these titles were known for their combat and scale, they also included the infamous s*x mini-games, which became a signature of the series.

The most infamous of these take place in God of War 3 when Kratos has an encounter with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. This scene is not just about the explicit content, it shows Kratos’ complex relationship with power, pleasure, and control.

For a potential remake, revisiting this moment is essential, not only to remain faithful to the original experience but also to explore how it can be shown in a modern setting.

The 2018 reboot made a big change to Kratos’ character by portraying him as a more thoughtful and restrained figure. He is now a father grappling with his violent past and that is the journey we follow.

That is why it’s a good idea to bring back old features such as the s*x mini-game. We’ll be reminded of the older, more chaotic Kratos and see the person he has become.

Even when obscured by blood and brutality, Kratos’ journey has always been one of personal growth. While the older gamers have seen this, newer ones have not.

What makes the franchise special is not just the violence or the epic scale of the battles, but the moments in between. The moments that humanize Kratos and allow players to see him as more than a relentless force of destruction.

The Aphrodite scene in God of War 3 is one such moment, where the complex nature of his character is laid bare, albeit through a satirical lens. If the rumored remake does happen, it’d be cool to see it return.
