Due to its popularity, God of War 6 feels like a given at this point.
Yet, while the story continuing is all but officially confirmed, fans are torn over what the next chapter in the franchise should look like.
Should it involve Kratos or not? Which ancient mythology should be explored next?
There are a few fans who’ve even questioned whether God of War 6 should happen at all.

Redditor undermoobs believes that it’ll happen, saying, “The answer is simple. Money to be made? Yes, there will be more.”

Slightly cynical, but also incredibly accurate. Sony knows it’s onto a winner with this franchise, it makes no sense, financially, to suddenly end the series.
Unlike the above remark, Moxto’s only hope is that Kratos remains the protagonist. “I just hope Kratos will remain the main character and not Artreus,” they shared.
The OP who asked the original question doesn’t feel the same way though, hence us emphasising how torn the God of War community is over this game.
For them, Kratos is a character that needs to take a step back. Not completely, just enough to let other characters shine through.
“To be honest, I liked how we could play as Atreus and Kratos throughout the fifth game. I would like to see more of that. But I don't want a total abandonment of Kratos,” was their suggestion.
It wasn’t long thereafter that discussions about mythology and accuracies broke out, which, while demonstrating a divided community, doesn’t have anything to do with God of War 6.
Still, the fact that everything about the next game is so polarising is the very reason fans are uncertain what Santa Monica Studio should do next.
We all want to see more from these stunning worlds, it’s just a question of how and who will take the lead.
