God of War ankommer på PlayStation 4 tidligt i 2018, og når det går bringer spillet forhåbentlig Kratos tilbage som frontfigur for PlayStation, men han får altså selskab af hans søn, Atreus.
I forbindelse med E3 tog vi os en snak med Santa Monica Studios Aaron Kaufman, der fortalte os at Atreus er en utrolig vigtig mekanisk del af spillets struktur, og derfor har han faktisk sin egen dedikerede knap:
"It's definitely a single-player game, it's not co-op. But Atreus, who is Kratos's son, as I said, is a really, really important part of the combat loop. So important that we've actually dedicated a button to him."
"So while you're mainly controlling Kratos, Atreus acts as a strategic advantage for you, he's a support for you, he has magical arrows that he fires, he can tag-team with Kratos, he can jump on enemy's backs and jump off them and fling arrows into the air. He's very, very important, he can help you out with puzzles."
Vi krydser fingre for at kampsystemet er interessant og dybt nok.
