In the gaming industry, few series have made as much impact as the God of War Series has. The series has always been about exploring various aspects of life: revenge, fatherhood, legacy, and redemption. As fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment in the series, they are drawing an interesting parallel between the life of Kratos’ voice actor, Christopher Judge, and the character he portrays.

With his departure, Atreus has left behind a great legacy of character growth and newfound independence. However, he has also opened a few doors to an intriguing direction for Kratos’ character development in future installments of the series. Just imagine, what if Atreus returns home with a child of his own?
This simple twist would not only deepen the game’s already rich narrative but also add additional layers to Kratos’ character. He now has to confront the responsibilities and emotions that come with being a grandfather. With Christopher Judge, the voice behind Kratos, also becoming a grandfather, he can share his own experience and portray his role in a more profound way.
