On Twitter, Jaffe said that the Norse mythology idea was more complicated than Asmussen made it sound. "He pretty much becomes the Grim Reaper at the end of the game and his blades become sickles."ġUP points out that Jaffe had issues with both claims. It becomes clear at the end that he's going to become this harbinger of death across different mythologies in the world and maybe carry the series on from there." God of War 2 director Cory Barlog's ending, according to Asmussen, would turn Kratos into Death.

"That's the next thing that Kratos would go after. "Basically, you destroy Greek mythology and then Norse mythology is right around the corner," Asmussen recounted. Series creator David Jaffe had stories in mind beyond Greek myth. But each God of War game before 3 (directed by Stig Asmussen) had a different director, and, as Asmussen told GamePro, each director had a different idea of how to end the saga of Angry Man Kratos. The God of War trilogy ended in the recent God of War 3 with Kratos.
