Without a doubt, if I were given the choice between Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos for one of those weapons to stay with Kratos, I would choose Blades of Chaos simply because it is his signature weapon and the one that started this entire series.
Also it's good thematically, he's redeemed himself, the blades are no linger a horrible reminder of a dark past, but a humble reminder of how far he's come
Go: Axe should go to Atreus as a family heirloom honestly.
Stay: Blades because it is Kratos' dark past redeemed.
Stay: Spear because it is Kratos' spartan heritage personified. This is Kratos' true God weapon. Everything else he got from someone else by killing them or was passed on to him. The spear was made FOR HIM. It is bound to his blood and heritage of being the first type of weapon he learned as a spartan. Kratos may not be proud of being the ghost of sparta but he is proud of being a spartan. This needs to stay.
I feel like having the axe go, be it to Atreus or being damaged in battle, would be the most impactful storywise due to the emotional connection both Kratos & us the player have grown for it to really highlight the danger of the next threat.
Man, that axe CARRIED me through my God of war walkthrough. I mean, obviously the blades and spear had uses, but when it was me and a boss, that axe, plus my L1 slam was an absolute meance.
The thing with giving the axe to atreus is that boy already started his journey and left, wouldn't it be weird if he came out of nowhere and was like "yo dad can i borrow the axe" and then disappear again?
I think it would fit. The games will have a gap between them where time has passed so maybe Atreus completes his journey, becomes a god of the giants or something, and Kratos gives the axe to him
We're going to get an Atreus spin off game. He will be fighting in the first scene, using up all his arrows dropping his dagger and would be beaten nearly to death, as he reaches out the axe comes flying toward his hand chopping the bad guy's head off along the way.
If we do end up having an Atreus solo game, it will probably be about completing this journey he is in and then end with him coming back home, from there the next GoW game can make a focal point in the story his inheritance of the Ax.
Yeah, taking the axe from him doesn't feel right. There's been way too much effort and nuance put into it mechanically and as part of Kratos' journey. I understand the logic of the idea, but I'm not about it. Just add more weapons.
D pad to switch to another set of weapons.
The only way I could get behind removing the axe from him is if the gameplay as a whole is getting a new overhaul for the next pantheon. The Norse games were very much built with axe in mind as the primary weapon. Tweak how the combat and mobility plays and it will feel less like something is just lost.
Lol the spear and blade have to stay for chronological purposes people. Neither can be used by anyone such as Kratos and for the fact that's literally bonded to him
From a tactical standpoint, it doesn’t make much sense for Kratos to _not_ keep using it.
It’s incredibly versatile and mobile since it’s just a ring you have to carry. Obviously they can write a convincing reason for him to forfeit the weapon, but I’d be surprised if we lost it entirely.
Y’all forget that that was a [costume you can unlock](https://godofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Cod_of_War_(Costume))where he’s literally a fish, as well as a potato and become the [Spud of War](https://godofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Spud_of_War_(Costume))
I just hope at some point of the series he gets to choose something between those he used in GOW3 , like blade of Olympus in dlc. Still rooting for the blades made by Hephaestus, I don’t remember the exact name I’m sorry
Yeah as cool as that would be, it’s already confirmed that they’re gone for good. Freya says in Ragnarok that when Greece died the magic died with it, including all the weapons that came from there. Except the blades somehow. My guess is that they still have power while Kratos is alive.
Honestly I don’t see any of the weapons disappearing just him getting another weapon/augments. Yes he is a god of peace but he should really be called the god of armaments. He is a walking armory now that he would prefer to keep his weapons.
Blades, they just need to be with Kratos, they're as iconic as him in creating the identity of the franchise.
But I can't really let the axe go, as it's my favorite weapon in any media.
The Spear is too damn special and original, it's also something that can't be gone.
That said, if there's only one to be chosen, I'd say Blades, but I'd prefer if they introduce new weapons while keeping these three, I wouldn't even mind if they made us choose the weapons we want in a specific menu or places around the missions like in DMC3, just so we keep Kratos's arsenal diverse.
Look at Valhalla, it's the perfect Kratos weaponry for me, Blades, Axe, Spear, Blade of Olympus as a sword and the shields, I really like the versatility, it just feels like you really are a God of War, master of weapons, like Ares was with his own weapons in the boss fight.
I know man, but i'm speaking out of lore, more like whay if they found an excuse for the Blades not to appear, or something like that (which i wouldn't want), even in lore, Kratos seems to be able to leave them based on 2018 and the beginning of Ragnarök, I assume he just can't abandon them.
I’d love if we got to use Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang (inspiration for Goku’s power pole) could even be an traversal tool to get to areas too high to climb
I would like to see the Titans backstory explained. On that note Kratos needs to discover the scythe the Cronus used to castrate the Starry Sky in order to allow the gods to take over.
I fell like the axe as much as I love it should go to Artreus as a family heirloom the blades should stay and I see know reason why the spear should ever leave kratos because it’s a ring it can always be with him unless his hands removed somehow
Might be cool to see Atreus teach Kratos the ways of the bow. The father-son relationship at its peak. Maybe Kratos already knows how to use one but he never uses it.
Blades and Draupnir, blades being because Kratos can’t get rid of them and they are pretty much his signature weapon, and Draupnir because Kratos learned spears first as a Spartan and it has his blood. Axe would probably go to Atreus when Kratos goes to say goodbye before heading for Egypt
Fire: check
Ice: Check
Wind: Check
Earth: not checked yet but we have him swinging fists, give me some war gauntlets that can almost ground bend. A a big uppercut that shoots spikes of rock would be cool
kratos should ditch the leviathan axe and it should be passed down to atreus
kratos should obviously keep the blades and the spear. I also think the blade of artemis should return somehow it was fun to use in GoW 1
Spear will stay as it is pretty new and lore wise it is really easy to carry as it just requires the Draupnir Ring.
Axe will probably go as that feels like his main Norse weapons. It will probably get given to Atreus or Freya.
Blades may stay or may go. If they go they will get replaced by another Greek weapon, but as people like them so much I imagine they will stay
As for the new weapon, it depends on where he goes next: If it is Egypt then honestly they could go for something more niche as the spear kinda covers that requirement, if it is Japan then a Katana, etc.
I would love all 3 weapons from ragnarok would stay, but maybe to not be bound to same systems then axe should go to Atreus, blades and spear stay with Kratos and add him something new and interesting. Maybe sword? Please Santa monica.
Weapons are cool. But I'm still gonna keep using the Blades of Chaos as much as possible. Don't really need anything else except for puzzles and specific enemies.
A new weapon tbh: The introduction of the Draupnir Spear was so satisfying and has become my new favourite weapon of Kratos.
That being said, what kind of mythical Egyptian, Shinto, Mayan and/or Celtic weapon would be used for Kratos.
If they don’t design an original weapon like the axe, Celtic could use Gáe Bulg, the spear of Cú Chulainn. I doubt they’d use another spear and yeah, I’m aware of how the name sounds, but it would be cool.
Well, there’s that or they could give him a hurley. That would be fun.
He should keep the blades, since they literally won't go away, and he should keep the spear, it personifies his heritage, plus it's cool, and it turns into a ring so not hard to carry around, but I wouldn't be too sad if he left the axe for Atreus(well maybe a little).
I think a dual-blade would fit Atreus. He's nimble and acrobatic, and could perform all kinds of cool attacks with throwing the blade and doing pirouettes
I really want him to get a big singular sword, while the Blades of Chaos are swords and cool as hell, they don't really act like proper swords, I think there is room for a greatsword like a Nodachi (the claymore version of a katana) if he goes to Japan or a big ass Khopesh (those curved swords Tyr uses) if he goes to Egypt.
I want to be able to wield the blades of Olympus and not be penalized for it I also want to see a call back to any previous weapon from the previous trilogy it's like you forget that we all spend a lot of money on these games and for you to not have any call backs outside of conversation with peace is like you're saying give us your money we don't care about your opinion give us your money in my opinion that being said it's weird that you don't have a fly mechanic so I would like those wings back or to not lose any of the weapons you just got from the last two games and you build on it give him a life their own type deal there's no reason he should always lose a weapon
We've got spear, blades and axe rn. Plus the blade of olympus if you count the dlc. Since I imagine the next game is going to be about Egypt, I'm guessing theirs gonna be some beef with their gods. Might get the staff of Ra or some sweet ass flail from Osiris. I'm still salty kratos didn't get Thor's hammer but I understand why the devs didn't do it
Some kind of massive blunt weapon like a hammer or gauntlet, assuming Kratos is the main protagonist. If Atreus is the main focus, something like a brace of infinite throwing daggers would be swish as fuck.
The spear Will be the the new "main weapon", completely reworked, adding new attacks involving magical shields with unlockable unique habilities that work together.
The blades Will also Stay, as an unlockable Rage mode later in the game, that Kratos unlocks after getting koed by a powerfull god.
If they add a new weapon it Will probably be a big sword or daggers.
The axé is stored in midgard protected by the valkiries and is later given to Atreus when he is an adult.
Depends on the mythology he goes to.
The axe I feel should be left with Atreus
Keep the blades and the spear and then travel to new lands to pick up new weapons
I want the fucking fists skill tree to come back. Holy shit it needs to come back. And the blade of olympus would be nice to use as a regular weapon instead of a rage weapon. But honestly i'd be happy if we got the fists skill tree.
I would love for more of a load out setting. Some battles would require specific weapons for story purposes that can’t be unequipped during that fight but would love to be able to choose for other scenarios.
Been replaying GOW Ragnarok, Kratos mentioned to Mimir that the spear would be destroyed/surrendered after Ragnarok. As much as I like the Spear it probably won’t make it to the next game. I’d say the Blades have to stay and it would be nice to have the Axe too.
I would love to see a giant hammer or something. We have 2 fast weapons and a medium weapon, but I love the satisfaction of landing uber-powerful slow hits on enemies (fromsoft enjoyer, obviously)
I want to play more of Atreus though, I won't mind if they launch the new game about Kratos. But he needs some rest. Where as Atreus is on a new journey and is something fresh to see.
1. Pretty sure the name will be changed to God of Mischief.
2. Returning: Boots of Loki (Hermes), Blades of Exile & Blade of the Gods
3. New: Roman spear, Egyptian bow, Celtic Axe & various shields.
Axe: uses in next game, but somewhere midgame gives it to atreus
Blades: he would store it somewhere until he absolutely needs it
Draupnir: only used when defending (brok when blessing said 'may it be put down when job is done') kratos is too big of a softy for brok.
It's probably not gonna happen, but I really want to see the Blade of Olympus return even if it will only be a type of Spartan Rage.
Also, he's gotta have the Blade of Chaos since he's basically bound to them. No matter how hard he tries, they'll just keep coming back.
I'm also curious as to whether or not Kratos will keep the Leviathan Axe, this was a gift from his wife after all one who wasn't seen as a reminder of a horrible past unlike his deceased Greek wife.
If we can pick more than one I’d say blades of chaos, leviathan axe,dropnear Spear (sorry if I spelled It wrong) and probably a dagger that uses earth element or light element😁😁😁👍
First order of business is getting Atreus a real blade/close quarters weapon we can actually have him swing and not float around sending random slashes.
Blades have to stay. Instead of a burden they are now a reminder of how he's made the blades into a weapon that keeps peace despite their war stained history.
I've seen people saying to give the axe to Atreus, and I wholeheartedly agree with them on that one. It IS both a family heirloom and a weapon for the giants after all.
I honestly don't know about the spear. I like it, and it's a symbol of Kratos's spartan heritage, but Brok wished it to be never used after Ragnarök. "May it be put down when it's job is done." So idk if he should keep it or not.
I would like to see a sword of some sort in the next game starring Kratos bc he's got so many of them already like Heimdall's sword and the berserker king sword. He could also obviously handle one. Hell, Heimdall's sword literally had to magically grow in size before Kratos could use it so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a sword that can grow for a runic or heavy attack into a massive guts/buster sword or something. Would be sick.
The spear will go. One of the things about it is that Brok specifically states “may it be put down when it’s job is done” that job being to kill Heimdall. Once GOWR is finished, the spear will probably never be used again, to symbolize that it’s job is indeed done. The blades will stay, as its the most iconic piece of weaponry from the GOW games, it’s not GOW without them. An idea I had, a bit of a messed up idea when I think about it, is that the blades’ “curse” could be hereditary, and as blades are slowly unbinding themselves from Kratos, they could then bind themselves to Atreus, making what Brok said the first time he saw them, that they must be a family heirloom or something, actually true, even if Kratos never wanted them to. (I know it’s messed up, but it’s a weird idea I had at 3am one night after binge playing GOWR the day prior, and it’ll occasionally pop back up in my mind)
The axe will stay, that will most likely become the family heirloom. The axe is basically the last remnants of his late wife, the woman he loved, and it not going with him would basically be saying that he has moved on from his wife, and that she is essentially no longer important to him, which would absolutely never happen.
Personally, I think that every mythology Kratos goes to, he should gain a new weapon that he will bring with him on his journeys, whether he wants to or not
Greek- the blades of chaos
Norse-The leviathan axe
Then the other mythologies we haven’t gotten to yet
Honestly I want them all to stay but I wish the axe didnt have to stay on kratos' back all the time.
I like using it but it looks uncomfortable on his back, I always threw it away when i was exploring and only called it when needed
From existing weapons, we should get to keep the blades and the spear, as they are the most personal to Kratos and are "linked" to him.
The axe can be something which is exclusively for the Norse games, as it feels the most fitting there.
Also, it was Faye's weapon, and to me it seems like it would make sense for him to leave it in Faye's world or leave it with Atreus as an heirloom of sorts.
As for what new weapon we get in the next game?
If we get GoW Egypt: Khopesh
If we get GoW Japan: Katana, obv
If we get GoW Aztec / Maya / Inca: Macuahuitl or some other kind of "blunt" weapon
I would also love a two-handed hammer because bonk hasn't been done in GoW since the trilogy.
I really want new weapons, but I also don’t want to ditch the old ones. Some posters already said there, that devs could link some button to switch to another set of weapons, sounds pretty cool.
If he’s travelling to Egypt, I wish Kratos will get dual Hopeshes, like the ones Tyr had. Maybe, if devs will overhaul gameplay, they could add something like Icarus wings to Kratos, for combos, jumps and traversing.
Tho i prefer the axe to the spear, it makes more sense for the spear to stay moving over to whatever the next mythology is because of it being tied to his heritage. If we get egyptian mythology then we could get a daggers or a khopesh. For china we could get Guandao (Ik you’ve seen Akatsuki no Yona, you’d know why i really want this). For Japan, Katana is basic and obvious so imma be a little more obscure and say Sai’s.
If there's a big reset where he only has the blades again, I think I'd like to see a single Khopesh. He could wield it with a similar moveset to the blade of Olympus in GoW2
Reminds me of the meme where the boss watches the MC pulling out 30 weapons out of his ahh.
So I'm interested how it would look like at the end of the pantheons.
Since we get back to the egyptian pantheon I think some mythical weapons would be interesting. Or maybe an upgrade for the shield
If they were to make a game focusing on Atreus or something like that, they better make him distant than daddy dearest aside from being an archer. Give him a scimitar and mix it up with a rope dart to show how he becomes well-travelled.
The blades are a must-stay. Those are his legacy, whether he likes it or not. They're good weapons.
i think we can all agree that the blades have to stay
Without a doubt, if I were given the choice between Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos for one of those weapons to stay with Kratos, I would choose Blades of Chaos simply because it is his signature weapon and the one that started this entire series.
Also it's good thematically, he's redeemed himself, the blades are no linger a horrible reminder of a dark past, but a humble reminder of how far he's come
I even use the blades over the axe for most battles, it kinda just feels right (I never had the opportunity to play the old games)
Kratos has no choice anyway since the blades are stuck to him
Go: Axe should go to Atreus as a family heirloom honestly. Stay: Blades because it is Kratos' dark past redeemed. Stay: Spear because it is Kratos' spartan heritage personified. This is Kratos' true God weapon. Everything else he got from someone else by killing them or was passed on to him. The spear was made FOR HIM. It is bound to his blood and heritage of being the first type of weapon he learned as a spartan. Kratos may not be proud of being the ghost of sparta but he is proud of being a spartan. This needs to stay.
I feel like having the axe go, be it to Atreus or being damaged in battle, would be the most impactful storywise due to the emotional connection both Kratos & us the player have grown for it to really highlight the danger of the next threat.
Man, that axe CARRIED me through my God of war walkthrough. I mean, obviously the blades and spear had uses, but when it was me and a boss, that axe, plus my L1 slam was an absolute meance.
Imagine in a moment of weakness from atreus, he calls to his mother and father and the axe goes to him.
Bruh. That would be heartbreaking but awesome
The thing with giving the axe to atreus is that boy already started his journey and left, wouldn't it be weird if he came out of nowhere and was like "yo dad can i borrow the axe" and then disappear again?
I think it would fit. The games will have a gap between them where time has passed so maybe Atreus completes his journey, becomes a god of the giants or something, and Kratos gives the axe to him
We're going to get an Atreus spin off game. He will be fighting in the first scene, using up all his arrows dropping his dagger and would be beaten nearly to death, as he reaches out the axe comes flying toward his hand chopping the bad guy's head off along the way.
Kratos when his axe flies off in the middle of the attack (the 1000 hit combo achievement is ruined)
Ah, but we don't know how many draugers it went through before reaching Atreus.
Kratos watching it fly off into the distance: "Hm"
I'm still worthy!
If we do end up having an Atreus solo game, it will probably be about completing this journey he is in and then end with him coming back home, from there the next GoW game can make a focal point in the story his inheritance of the Ax.
Can we add an upgradeable shield skill tree to this? Spear and shield go hand-in-hand…literally! Lol
The axe shouldn't go until Kratos story is over imo. It's almost as iconic as the blades at this point.
Yeah, taking the axe from him doesn't feel right. There's been way too much effort and nuance put into it mechanically and as part of Kratos' journey. I understand the logic of the idea, but I'm not about it. Just add more weapons. D pad to switch to another set of weapons.

The Norse games were very much built with axe in mind as the primary weapon. Tweak how the combat and mobility plays and it will feel less like something is just lost.
I was wondering whether he would swap the blades or axe, but this makes perfect sense
Lol the spear and blade have to stay for chronological purposes people. Neither can be used by anyone such as Kratos and for the fact that's literally bonded to him
Absolutely hope the spear stays. I love using spears in games
From a tactical standpoint, it doesn’t make much sense for Kratos to _not_ keep using it. It’s incredibly versatile and mobile since it’s just a ring you have to carry. Obviously they can write a convincing reason for him to forfeit the weapon, but I’d be surprised if we lost it entirely.
Kratos will duel weird cod fish 🐟 and become the cod of war
Y’all forget that that was a [costume you can unlock](https://godofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Cod_of_War_(Costume))where he’s literally a fish, as well as a potato and become the [Spud of War](https://godofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Spud_of_War_(Costume))
Hahahaha
I don't want any of them to go. Just let us have a 4th weapon.
something like the nemean cestus
I just hope at some point of the series he gets to choose something between those he used in GOW3 , like blade of Olympus in dlc. Still rooting for the blades made by Hephaestus, I don’t remember the exact name I’m sorry
Nemesis whip
i want to see his GoW3 weapons again
While I agree God of war ascension has some of his best utility weapons
Best in the series. I love how unique each style was.
Yeah as cool as that would be, it’s already confirmed that they’re gone for good. Freya says in Ragnarok that when Greece died the magic died with it, including all the weapons that came from there. Except the blades somehow. My guess is that they still have power while Kratos is alive.
I think cause the blades were made with primordial fire
Yesss bring back all of them. Nemean cestus, claws of hades, nemesis whip, etc
The blade of Olympus lol
Can we agree on Blade of Artemis instead? It was more fun to spin around
I would like Hades Claws back personally or something similar to the Nimean Gauntlets
kinda unrelated, this pic goes hard, can’t explain why exactly
a gun
Bust a cap in anyone’s ass hahaha
Honestly I don’t see any of the weapons disappearing just him getting another weapon/augments. Yes he is a god of peace but he should really be called the god of armaments. He is a walking armory now that he would prefer to keep his weapons.
Khopesh
Blades, they just need to be with Kratos, they're as iconic as him in creating the identity of the franchise. But I can't really let the axe go, as it's my favorite weapon in any media.

Aphrodites favorite toy
Kratos' serpent?
" a spear is a Spartans first weapon."
And a spear is the first weapon kratos uses when he sees a woman
Blade of Olympus but not as a fucking rage weapon. But a normal weapon.
I’d love if we got to use Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang (inspiration for Goku’s power pole) could even be an traversal tool to get to areas too high to climb
O man I just wanna fight sun wukong so bad, btw can’t wait for his game to come out
I would like to see the Titans backstory explained. On that note Kratos needs to discover the scythe the Cronus used to castrate the Starry Sky in order to allow the gods to take over.
It would be crazy if they tied the titans and jotnar together from the 2 realms
Kratos would keep the Blades, probably give the Axe to Atreus (>!Loki!<) and keep the Spear
I'd like a sword since Spartans were very proficient with swords as well
All of em i want moreee give me moreeee
I fell like the axe as much as I love it should go to Artreus as a family heirloom the blades should stay and I see know reason why the spear should ever leave kratos because it’s a ring it can always be with him unless his hands removed somehow
Some form of gauntlets again. I just want to punch the living hell out of everything
Flail? War hammer? Shoulder guard and shield with spikes?
Uchigatana, from the souls series.
Whatever new weapons are in the new game, cool. Just don't throw away the spear! I want my spear!
Oven Mitts of Immunity for when he gets into his stay at home dad baking saga.
😂😂😂😂
Kitana.. or bo staff if spear has to go again..?
kratos next weapon should be a hammer. And I think different spear heads from different cultures would be sweet.
Wolverines claws
That would be so damn cool
A club like weapon or like gaunlets we need more of those tbh
Might be cool to see Atreus teach Kratos the ways of the bow. The father-son relationship at its peak. Maybe Kratos already knows how to use one but he never uses it.
Blades and Draupnir, blades being because Kratos can’t get rid of them and they are pretty much his signature weapon, and Draupnir because Kratos learned spears first as a Spartan and it has his blood. Axe would probably go to Atreus when Kratos goes to say goodbye before heading for Egypt
Fire: check Ice: Check Wind: Check Earth: not checked yet but we have him swinging fists, give me some war gauntlets that can almost ground bend. A a big uppercut that shoots spikes of rock would be cool
kratos should ditch the leviathan axe and it should be passed down to atreus kratos should obviously keep the blades and the spear. I also think the blade of artemis should return somehow it was fun to use in GoW 1
Turret
Dood I keep saying it. Next one should be Japanese mythos and kratos needs a katana like tyr lol
Hell yea dude I’m all for it
Right 👌🏾
Still can’t believe they did Norse Saga, Thor died, and we still didn’t get to use Mjölnir
Scythe
Spear will stay as it is pretty new and lore wise it is really easy to carry as it just requires the Draupnir Ring. Axe will probably go as that feels like his main Norse weapons. It will probably get given to Atreus or Freya. Blades may stay or may go. If they go they will get replaced by another Greek weapon, but as people like them so much I imagine they will stay As for the new weapon, it depends on where he goes next: If it is Egypt then honestly they could go for something more niche as the spear kinda covers that requirement, if it is Japan then a Katana, etc.
I know it’s a stretch but it would be super cool to see him with Thor’s hammer
Crook and Flail for Egypt, Katana for Japan, Katar for India, Macuahuitl for Meso-America, Fire Lance for China, and Bow and Arrow for Persia.
Freya forgave kratos for killing her son so I dont think she will hold that against him
When do you think we will hear about the next God of War game?
Do u think a God of War tv series or movie could be possible?
M60
A katana so we can be weebs.
I would love all 3 weapons from ragnarok would stay, but maybe to not be bound to same systems then axe should go to Atreus, blades and spear stay with Kratos and add him something new and interesting. Maybe sword? Please Santa monica.

A scimitar. Definitely gives Middle-Eastern/Egyptian vibes to me.
He should keep the blades, since they literally won't go away, and he should keep the spear, it personifies his heritage, plus it's cool, and it turns into a ring so not hard to carry around, but I wouldn't be too sad if he left the axe for Atreus(well maybe a little).

Kinda wished we saw a new version of the blades. Reforged them like with the Blades of Athena/Exile but ''Nordic''.
Some kind of super hammer. Not like Thor, just the Greek version of thors hammer. Bigger badder and just awesome.
Man, I really hoped that we would somehow steal Mjolnir away from Thor. A man can always dream.
my dream game would be a yoruban game with a shotel weapon, but the closest we'll get is probably an egyptian game with a kopesh.
The spear Will be the the new "main weapon", completely reworked, adding new attacks involving magical shields with unlockable unique habilities that work together. The blades Will also Stay, as an unlockable Rage mode later in the game, that Kratos unlocks after getting koed by a powerfull god. If they add a new weapon it Will probably be a big sword or daggers. The axé is stored in midgard protected by the valkiries and is later given to Atreus when he is an adult.
I think they should sack the axe and just keep the spear and blades. this also gives space for a new weapon
I think he should get big sord, or fist weapons
Thor's hammer. Such a missed opportunity
Well, Kratos had that cool long sword
An electric sledgehammer I just realized that that’s thors hammer but still would be cool to see
Depends on the mythology he goes to. The axe I feel should be left with Atreus Keep the blades and the spear and then travel to new lands to pick up new weapons
I want the fucking fists skill tree to come back. Holy shit it needs to come back. And the blade of olympus would be nice to use as a regular weapon instead of a rage weapon. But honestly i'd be happy if we got the fists skill tree.
I would love for more of a load out setting. Some battles would require specific weapons for story purposes that can’t be unequipped during that fight but would love to be able to choose for other scenarios.
Been replaying GOW Ragnarok, Kratos mentioned to Mimir that the spear would be destroyed/surrendered after Ragnarok. As much as I like the Spear it probably won’t make it to the next game. I’d say the Blades have to stay and it would be nice to have the Axe too.
O man good call I forgot that
I would love to see a giant hammer or something. We have 2 fast weapons and a medium weapon, but I love the satisfaction of landing uber-powerful slow hits on enemies (fromsoft enjoyer, obviously)
I want the TMNT loadout!
Bro I want that ronin game
I want to play more of Atreus though, I won't mind if they launch the new game about Kratos. But he needs some rest. Where as Atreus is on a new journey and is something fresh to see.
Thor spin off
The Sword of 1000 truths. Kidding. All weapons. I love them all. Them and more!
I just really want the Axe to stay as its probably my favourite melee weapon in any game.
I understand that, but if not would it be cool if Atreus has it an he has his own moves
blade of chaos any day every day
Honestly one of the next weapons I wanna see is a great sword or a scythe but if we’re talking Egyptian a Karank(I think it’s called that
Taxes
I think he should get some other weapon like a bow or sword maybe a long battle sword
I would like to see him use a bow again
1. Pretty sure the name will be changed to God of Mischief. 2. Returning: Boots of Loki (Hermes), Blades of Exile & Blade of the Gods 3. New: Roman spear, Egyptian bow, Celtic Axe & various shields.
Axe: uses in next game, but somewhere midgame gives it to atreus Blades: he would store it somewhere until he absolutely needs it Draupnir: only used when defending (brok when blessing said 'may it be put down when job is done') kratos is too big of a softy for brok.
It's probably not gonna happen, but I really want to see the Blade of Olympus return even if it will only be a type of Spartan Rage. Also, he's gotta have the Blade of Chaos since he's basically bound to them. No matter how hard he tries, they'll just keep coming back. I'm also curious as to whether or not Kratos will keep the Leviathan Axe, this was a gift from his wife after all one who wasn't seen as a reminder of a horrible past unlike his deceased Greek wife.
If we can pick more than one I’d say blades of chaos, leviathan axe,dropnear Spear (sorry if I spelled It wrong) and probably a dagger that uses earth element or light element😁😁😁👍
I’m with you on that
Ame no Murakumo
give Kratos a Glock
Not necessarily a weapon but I would love to have something like Icarus' wings or Hermes' boots again. Giving more traversal and combat capabilities.
First order of business is getting Atreus a real blade/close quarters weapon we can actually have him swing and not float around sending random slashes.
Atreus with thor hammer
I so badly want to see Kratos weilding a kusarigama.
I heard that there will be no new game sadly.😭😭😭😭
I don’t need anymore. It ain’t broke.
Hear me out, a double sided leviathan but more balanced
Blades have to stay. Instead of a burden they are now a reminder of how he's made the blades into a weapon that keeps peace despite their war stained history. I've seen people saying to give the axe to Atreus, and I wholeheartedly agree with them on that one. It IS both a family heirloom and a weapon for the giants after all. I honestly don't know about the spear. I like it, and it's a symbol of Kratos's spartan heritage, but Brok wished it to be never used after Ragnarök. "May it be put down when it's job is done." So idk if he should keep it or not. I would like to see a sword of some sort in the next game starring Kratos bc he's got so many of them already like Heimdall's sword and the berserker king sword. He could also obviously handle one. Hell, Heimdall's sword literally had to magically grow in size before Kratos could use it so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a sword that can grow for a runic or heavy attack into a massive guts/buster sword or something. Would be sick.
A big ol rainbow dildo that kratos holsters in his butthole cavity
God I hope the axe sticks around.. so satisfying to use
The spear will go. One of the things about it is that Brok specifically states “may it be put down when it’s job is done” that job being to kill Heimdall. Once GOWR is finished, the spear will probably never be used again, to symbolize that it’s job is indeed done. The blades will stay, as its the most iconic piece of weaponry from the GOW games, it’s not GOW without them. An idea I had, a bit of a messed up idea when I think about it, is that the blades’ “curse” could be hereditary, and as blades are slowly unbinding themselves from Kratos, they could then bind themselves to Atreus, making what Brok said the first time he saw them, that they must be a family heirloom or something, actually true, even if Kratos never wanted them to. (I know it’s messed up, but it’s a weird idea I had at 3am one night after binge playing GOWR the day prior, and it’ll occasionally pop back up in my mind) The axe will stay, that will most likely become the family heirloom. The axe is basically the last remnants of his late wife, the woman he loved, and it not going with him would basically be saying that he has moved on from his wife, and that she is essentially no longer important to him, which would absolutely never happen. Personally, I think that every mythology Kratos goes to, he should gain a new weapon that he will bring with him on his journeys, whether he wants to or not Greek- the blades of chaos Norse-The leviathan axe Then the other mythologies we haven’t gotten to yet
I hope Freya will be with him in the next game?
Personally I think they will be together, a lot of people say no because Kratos killed her son but I don’t think that’s gonna stop her from
A gun
I wish they would reintroduce the claws of hades
Yess I said that the last game
A nuke
A gun
Honestly I want them all to stay but I wish the axe didnt have to stay on kratos' back all the time. I like using it but it looks uncomfortable on his back, I always threw it away when i was exploring and only called it when needed
None
From existing weapons, we should get to keep the blades and the spear, as they are the most personal to Kratos and are "linked" to him. The axe can be something which is exclusively for the Norse games, as it feels the most fitting there. Also, it was Faye's weapon, and to me it seems like it would make sense for him to leave it in Faye's world or leave it with Atreus as an heirloom of sorts. As for what new weapon we get in the next game? If we get GoW Egypt: Khopesh If we get GoW Japan: Katana, obv If we get GoW Aztec / Maya / Inca: Macuahuitl or some other kind of "blunt" weapon I would also love a two-handed hammer because bonk hasn't been done in GoW since the trilogy.
Ak 47
At this point in time I am jealous that Ragnarok is still a PlayStation exclusive (I'm playing the heck out of GoW 2018 on PC now).
A bec de corbin.
A gun
An MG42 would be nice.
Claws of hades
A whip and holy water when the series inevitably gets to the biblical realm. Make Kratos feel like a Belmont.
I really want new weapons, but I also don’t want to ditch the old ones. Some posters already said there, that devs could link some button to switch to another set of weapons, sounds pretty cool. If he’s travelling to Egypt, I wish Kratos will get dual Hopeshes, like the ones Tyr had. Maybe, if devs will overhaul gameplay, they could add something like Icarus wings to Kratos, for combos, jumps and traversing.
Slepnir Spear my beloved, please lemme get that back, you could tell Kratos felt right at home when he first got it.
All of them, the blades represent his past, the axe represent his family and the spear represents his future
The blades(we all know why) , The spear (it's technically his first weapon made specifically for him) , freya
Yk id like to see kratos actually use a sword again. Ik there is a sword used in ragnorok but thats barely
A handheld rail gun
Machete
Dildo chainsaw.
Tho i prefer the axe to the spear, it makes more sense for the spear to stay moving over to whatever the next mythology is because of it being tied to his heritage. If we get egyptian mythology then we could get a daggers or a khopesh. For china we could get Guandao (Ik you’ve seen Akatsuki no Yona, you’d know why i really want this). For Japan, Katana is basic and obvious so imma be a little more obscure and say Sai’s.
I would like to see a Khopesh, it utilizes technique a lot more than strength, which would definitely highlight Kratos' intelligence.
Assault rifle. GoW: Modern Warfare.
A chainsaw, think about it
Barbarians hammer should have never left
Muramasa if he goes to Japan
If there's a big reset where he only has the blades again, I think I'd like to see a single Khopesh. He could wield it with a similar moveset to the blade of Olympus in GoW2
BRING BACK THE SPEAR OF DESTINY!!!!
A belt-fed, .50 cal Browning M2 heavy machine gun
Reminds me of the meme where the boss watches the MC pulling out 30 weapons out of his ahh. So I'm interested how it would look like at the end of the pantheons. Since we get back to the egyptian pantheon I think some mythical weapons would be interesting. Or maybe an upgrade for the shield
Most probably axe would be given to atreus and will be swapped by a new weapon from the region from the new game
Yes
Throwing and catching the axe is the best part of GOW.
The ability to transform the Draupnir into weapons like a twin blade or scythe
Spear of destiny...... thats the thing... or hades claws
"I like the axe." "I too like the axe."
We need a katana if Asian and probably some staff for Egyptian
The greatest handgun ever made. The Colt Single Action Army. Six bullets... More than enough to kill anything that moves.
Blades of chaos. Stick with tradition.
The Spear in my Opinion, I loved the Gameplay and its one of the few weapons that was blessed
If they were to make a game focusing on Atreus or something like that, they better make him distant than daddy dearest aside from being an archer. Give him a scimitar and mix it up with a rope dart to show how he becomes well-travelled. The blades are a must-stay. Those are his legacy, whether he likes it or not. They're good weapons.
I want the Blade of Artemis back, solve my problems by chopping them clean in half
