While Kratos is still among the living, Ariel Lawrence&#8211;the director of God of War Laufey&#8211;hinted that one of his first foes could return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We\u2019ve been killing gods for a really long time,&#8221; Lawrence told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/god-of-war-laufeys-director-talks-fan-skepticism-new-ideas-and-phranque-the-cube\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/god-of-war-laufeys-director-talks-fan-skepticism-new-ideas-and-phranque-the-cube\/\">GameSpot<\/a>. &#8220;So we\u2019ve been thinking about this question. Since Ares died, we were like, &#8216;Okay, great. Does he go to the underworld?&#8217; We asked that question. &#8216;Where did he show up after Kratos killed him?&#8217; I think this has been really bubbling around for like 20 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kratos killed Ares&#8211;the Greek god of war&#8211;in the first game in 2005, which marked the former&#8217;s ascension to godhood. In the subsequent games, Kratos murdered several additional gods, including Zeus, Athena, and almost the entire Greek pantheon.<\/p>\n<p>  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HLMX2w3cwuE  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laufey&#8217;s story will unfold in the Everywhen, which Lawrence describes as a place that &#8220;is a return for all magic. So it\u2019s not just gods, but magical creatures and all sorts of things. Magic is pulled to this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout the original God of War trilogy and its spin-offs, Kratos left a lot of dead gods in his wake.
