Also it's explicitly stated to be Kratos:

Nope. The leaked artworks clearly state Kratos:http://i.imgur.com/uCaumMb.jpg

------

Kratos is back

- There is Kratos, with beard;
- The setting is the Norse Mythology;
- Kratos will visit Alfheim, “Land Of The Fairies”, one of the Nine Worlds and home of the Light Elves (concepts show the Wall and the Temple Door);
- Kratos will be in one or more prison;
- Kratos has an Axe, with wich he can cut vines and create bridges/walkways;
- The surrounding environment could interact with the character (if Kratos brushes-up against the vines, they expell visible spores).

We remind you we also expect a cinematic trailer with “Gorgon & Hydra”, according to our previous leak.

Look through all the concept images. A lot of effort for a fake. Last time we saw this much concept art leak, it turned out to be Horizon from Guerrilla.

RoboPlato · Apr 4, 2016

The environmental art looks fantastic.

LightOfTruth · Apr 4, 2016

Are they axing Athena's blades?

Servbot24 · Apr 4, 2016

There's no way that's real. Either a very early design or fan-made.

Neuromancer · Apr 4, 2016

I don't buy it. Who is nerd leaks anyway?

Y2Kev · Apr 4, 2016

Is it actually Kratos is another setting or is it a new character named Kratos?

HorcaCZ · Apr 4, 2016

Please no Kratos this time.

Rymuth · Apr 4, 2016

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaah, welcome back, Kratos!

funkystudent · Apr 4, 2016

More Kratos? Really?

I am OUT!

Wishmaster92 · Apr 4, 2016

There's 28 concept art images. The model looks super early but this is a lot of work if it's fake.

beardos son of beard

Matticers · Apr 4, 2016

I'm kind of iffy on whether or not I even want Kratos back. But Kratos with a beard and magically putting him in a new setting? Yeah, that's dumb.

I love the whole viking theme for a game like this but it shouldn't be with Kratos.

WaterAstro · Apr 4, 2016

OP is wrong. This is the real Cod of War 4 leak.

Reset · Apr 4, 2016

Ugly looking beard. If it's real, glad to see Kratos is back. Just change that awful beard design back to the original or get rid of it.

Digital-Hero · Apr 4, 2016

Reincarnated Kratos.

Welfare · Apr 4, 2016

Probably not Greek Kratos, but a new character that just so happens to have the name Kratos.

Considering the Omega tattoo on his body, it's gotta be the same one. Different language etc.

Will wait for the PS4K version

I hate these kind of posts

CountAntonius · Apr 4, 2016

Beard makes everything new again.

taoofjord · Apr 4, 2016

Kratos with a beard is hilarious. That surely must have come out of focus testing.

Eylos · Apr 4, 2016

Insane Metal · Apr 4, 2016

People complaining about Kratos? Wtf? Gimme MOAR KRATOS PLEASE

chicko1983 · Apr 4, 2016

damn, was hoping for Egyptian over Norse.

Hesemonni · Apr 4, 2016

Max Payne 3 Kratos.

Corpekata · Apr 4, 2016

Said in other thread but the Kratos model reminds me of like a bootleg mod for a Souls game create a character, especially with the pose and weapon.

Dennis · Apr 4, 2016

Kratos will visit Alfheim, “Land Of The Fairies”

We did it, fam! We are finally off the boat!

FStop7 · Apr 4, 2016

No more lighthearted fun-loving Kratos.

GreatNumber · Apr 4, 2016

So is Kratos going to be the true black swordsman?

Cardon · Apr 4, 2016

Y2Kev said:

Thinking it may be new character named Kratos or perhaps some sort of loose warrior "reincarnation" thing if SSM wanted to go that route. Based on that concept art pic though the dude looks like Graham McTavish.

MBS · Apr 4, 2016

We really need to know what happened to Kratos after the end of GOW3..

Smellycat · Apr 4, 2016

lol bearded Kratos. Is that what is new?

Gator86 · Apr 4, 2016

I'm on board. God of War is still a fantastic franchise. Hope they can do some stuff to freshen it up a bit, but otherwise I'm more than happy to play another one.

Memento · Apr 4, 2016

Come on guys...

100% fake.

NotTheGuyYouKill · Apr 4, 2016

Norse Mythology? Wicked.

Kratos? Sigh... I hope he's significantly changed since God of War. I can't take Angry Dickhead Kratos anymore.

Jacob4815 · Apr 4, 2016

Early concept art. Not definitive. Don't jump to conclusions.

XxRampage07xX · Apr 4, 2016

Yep that's Kratos (with a different beard).

And he also looks more friendly.
