Could A 'God of War' Type Story Work For Any Other Mythos?

The God of War series, no thing how frustrating a platforming adventure, was however one of the finest story-telling experiences ever created. I was enthralled by the way in which it presented semi-accurate Greek mythology intertwined with some very heady, fast-paced and incredibly tearing gainsay-sequences.

God of War III might be the last risk of Kratos, but how shouldn't this novel storytelling approach alive on?

The fate of Kratos is unknown, just his terminal human action of violence concluded his long journey of vengeance. And so what of the God of War serial? The wildly imaginative way in which the story was conveyed was footing-breaking, so why can't that vivid style live on with another mythological backstory?

There are so many great directions that tin can be explored with that particular style in heed. We could see it expand upon the Greek pantheon, though they are now all *spoiler* completely destroyed in the wake of Kratos' vengeance. Information technology wouldn't quite be right to take Kratos make a comeback after the dramatic exit he took. Instead it would only exist fit to go along his whereabouts and status a mystery, as that would add together even more than to the mystique of 1 of the best personified heroes always.

Kratos doesn't need to come up dorsum. Instead we need somethingdissimilar.

Take that theatrical flair and employ it to a completely different mythos that perhaps fifty-fifty connects to Kratos, weaving an fifty-fifty bigger story that connects different parts of the world, different polytheistic mythologies, to Kratos, eventually revealing his fate.

Only regardless of whatever connection, that narrative way that was used would piece of work well for just about whatever mythology should information technology be applied with only every bit much adeptness. Imagine an exploration and accommodation of the story of the one-time Norse gods. Instead of a story of vengeance, perhaps one fifty-fifty of a lost chance at love past Askr as Embla is instead lost in the fires of Ragnarök. Askr could instead go on a violent journeying to find her through various trials and tribulations, hopefully with QTE'due south properly modified.

If that doesn't resonate, then mayhap delving into the ancient Egyptian lore. Mafdet, the goddess of legal justice (or of execution) seeking retribution over being replaced by Bast, wreaking havoc on the early pantheon of Egyptian deities as part of her program to reclaim her dominance.

If handled very carefully (and with specific permission of class) and so perhaps fifty-fifty Native American mythology could be a topic that would be enhanced by this type of dramatic narration. That topic could but be handled with the utmost of respect, however, and might not necessarily be possible.

Really any histrionic story from our by could be used as a ground for the next entry in the God of War serial, or at least every bit a spiritual successor. Information technology need not have the same name to share the aforementioned characteristics that made God of State of war so incredibly magnificent.

But regardless what direction is chosen, the God of War franchise should live on with or without Kratos. His story has come to a logical and very striking way, then why not write someone else'due south in much the same fashion?
