What Happened to Atreus in the Ending? Who is Atreus in God of War?

How does Atreus end?

In the ending of God of War: Ragnarok, Atreus, also known as Loki, plays a crucial role. After a fierce battle with Odin, Kratos, Atreus, and Freya teamed up to defeat him. However, instead of killing Odin, Atreus used his Chotnaar magic to trap Odin’s soul in the marble. This act is significant because it reveals the identity of the character in the original God of War game’s mural – Atreus holding Odin’s soul.

But the story doesn’t end there. Apparently injured, Atreus wakes up in Midgard and decides to embark on a journey to find the other giants, leaving Kratos behind. The ending shows that Atreus, now aware of his role as Loki, must explore his destiny alone, while Kratos discovers a temple that foreshadows his own future as a revered god.

Who is Atreus in God of War?

In God of War, Atreus is a central character and the teenage son of protagonist Kratos. His mother, Laufey, also known as Faye, was a giant. Atreus was a unique being, part giant, one part god, and one part mortal. His divine heritage was initially hidden from him, and his name to the giant culture was Loki. Atreus plays a vital role in the story, accompanying Kratos on his journey to the Nordic kingdoms.

Throughout the game, Atreus undergoes significant character development as he grapples with the responsibilities that come with his identity, power, and divine lineage. His mastery of the bow, connection to Norse mythology, growth and maturity in battle make him an integral part of the God of War storyline.

God of War: Ragnarok Development

God of War: Ragnarok has had a noteworthy development journey. Following the success of God of War (2018), director Cory Barlog has confirmed that he will be working with Atreus on more games set in Norway. The sequel was teased at the end of 2018, but faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted performance capture and talent acquisition. Challenges arose, including “Atreus” actor Sunny Suljic’s vocal changes related to puberty.

Eric Williams took charge of the game and aimed to end the Norwegian era efficiently. Key plot aspects are emphasized: the inevitability of Ragnarok, the separation of Atreus from Kratos, and the death of Brock. Early narrative ideas were considered and rejected in favor of compelling stories that challenged prophecy and destiny.

The game achieved “Gold” status in October 2022, with collaborations with eight studios ensuring its completion, with a particular focus on optimization for PS4 and PS5.
