There’s a lot to be excited about with God of War Ragnarok, and the fan base is particularly hyped for the clash between Kratos and Thor and where the series could potentially go next. Of course, there’s also a question of whether or not Kratos will survive Ragnarok. There’s been speculation about his ultimate fate for a long time now.

Additionally, there are theories that Atreus will turn on his father and do the deed himself.
