GOW has always been great. Lowest meta ever was 80.

Franchise average is like 91!

The main series (trilogy) are all 92-94 range. I'd put that as the most likely range for this too

Anyone think Kratos will die in this game (for real), having Atreus taking over as God of War?

Also, 'Atreus' is suspiciously similar to Ares...

The last footage of the game I saw was the e3 trailer.

I don't expect kratos to be replaced. At first I was worried he'd be replaced since shinobi said he wasn't in the game. Then it felt like the e3 demo could have just been a tutorial and kratos would be replaced early on, but the e3 trailer a year later confirmed it was truely a kratos game and all the marketing focuses on kratos. Killing him off would be beyond stupid. Plus the kid has a generic face. He might be super big in the game but in the marketing he is not treated as a character like kratos.

Take Halo 5 for example. Almost all the marketing was trying to make locke feel like an equel to MC. He was treated like he was the master of his story.

Same goes for tlou. Ellie and Joel are equals and just from marketing and cut scenes you wouldn't know who the main character was.

(But I do hope kratos dies. It isn't gow if he isn't crawling out of his own grave)
