So is Atreus his biological son? If so it would mean he's been there a while.

It looks like it's missing an eye and has horns
Curious how the camera will fare with those larger encounters in the trailer. The last E3 demo only had Kratos fighting one or two guys at a time. The major benefit of the guided, overhead camera from the older games was that it enabled crowd control. Getting shanked in the ass by dudes you can't see while you're fighting someone else could totally suck.

Surprisingly no, Cory actually confirmed that it's running on the standard PS4.

Didn't watch the whole trailer but it looks pretty good. Was never into GoW but since this is a reboot of sorts I'll definitely give it a shot.
Impressive. Hopefully I can play this on Pro.

Its hard to tell how big they are but Fenrir is supposed to be huge and kills Odin in the Ragnarok. Since there are 2 pairs of eyes in that gif I'm willing to bet thats Geri and Freki which were 2 wolves that accompanied Odin.Holy shit, if we see Fenrir I will lose it.
I am also assuming that Odin and Thor are the "bad guys" in this game. So who knows, since Jörmungandr says he wants to help you in the new trailer and he fought Thor in the Ragnarok, maybe Fenrir will be on your side as well. Since Fenrir killed Odin in the Ragnarok.

So is that woman the new wife of Kratos or some kind of relative or oracle?

Oh, I didn't realize there were two wolves in there. Maybe you're right.

I assume early means Q1 (Jan-March).
Yeah, probably be at least March based on past games though.

I remember researching the world serpent after the reveal last year and Thor is supposed to be it's arch enemy. So I assume we fight Thor if the world serpeant is an ally.
Huh. Interesting. I'm learning more about the Norse mythology everyday.

Are you sure? How did you know this? Cus from last year's reveal, Kratos made it seem like his new wife died.
It would need a nice explanation why is she away from her family.
Also did anyone of you notice that Kratos still calls his son "Boy", even after that his real name was revealed? It must be story related and so important since their relations seem ambiguous and they appear to be distant from each others due to many reasons. We saw how Kratos was secretly reaching out to his son last year.

Yeah I get the impression that the wife is dead as well. Though those scenes could be flashbacks/ set in the past.
Still seems more like the kid's aunt/caretaker.

My guess is that Kratos will be the who releases Fenrir from being bound by Odin and Tyr and he helps you somehow. Kinda like how you "freed" Prometheus in God of War 2.
Probably just Kratos trying not to get too attached. Is my guess anyone.
Just know they're gonna make him say it after something real bad happens to the boy.

This seems like it would be too much of a retread of the previous trilogy.
My guess is that this time Kratos doesn't have such a hardon for killing gods, but his reputation preceeds him. So he is both hunted by the Gods and by those who see him as a potential tool to instigate Ragnarok.
There is a notable tortured/Sisyphean motif with Kratos in these trailers.

The voice of the mother/caretaker lady says in the trailer something like "the gods of these realms dont take kindly to outsiders, when they find you, and they will, they will make things difficult"
So you got to kind of assume that the gods will be trying to kill you. And Tyr is the norse god of war and he is boys with Odin. I think its a safe assumption that Odin and gang will be the antagonists of this game. And with Jörmungandr saying he wants to help you and both Jörmungandr and Fenrir being brothers and sons of Loki, that you end up being on that side of the war for at least part of the game.
I dont think Kratos is just out to kill gods in this game just for the sake of vengence but I do think its possible that instead of blind vengence, it will be because he would do anything to protect his kid. So love is his motivation this time around instead of hate.
