This turns out to be a dream, but Atreus (who we now know is Loki) says it feels more like a premonition. Kratos shouts “Who are you!?” and the man pulls his cloak back, revealing Mjolnir.

Kratos and Atreus step outside and see a mysterious hooded figure. The game then jumps forward several years and shows the pair awaken to a terrible storm outside their house. After a long journey to spread Faye’s ashes in Jotunheim, Kratos and Atreus go home and fall asleep. Like a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, a post-credits scene from God of War teases what comes next. Kratos and Thor will inevitably have to fight each other in the sequel, so why not kick off God of War: Ragnarok right where the post-credit scene for 2018’s God of War.
