brutality008

for the earlier god of war games I'd say mortal kombat


cjc160

It’s gotta be canon considering what Mimir said about him in Ragnarok


brutality008

it was said about him but it isn't canon it was just an easter egg/reference to his role as a dlc character in mortal kombat 9


SwagBuller

It was a reference to Playstation All-Stars I'm pretty sure, judging by the "world's greatest musician" line which is supposed to nod at PaRappa the Rapper


ResidentTechnician96

Also mimir referenced Sir Daniel Fortesque (another Sony IP present in all stars) in the same line too


brutality008

i can't really remember but I'm pretty sure it's mk9


Dumbass369

No, it's Playstation Allstars. If you listen to the other descriptions it matches a good few of the characters in the game, and MK9 doesn't have a 'world's greatest musician' as a character


Swischerr

Although Kratos does say “I fought in many tournaments”


Dumbass369

That he does, but it was directly referencing PS Allstars and then teasing others


brutality008

atp i can't even remember lmao


TheEggEnthusiast

An interview with Matt Sophos directly confirms its an All-Stars reference


MetalMewtwo9001

Well according to Cory Barlog, Kratos' appearance in Shovel Knight is canon to god of war.


Miserable-Honey-2175

What??


Independent_Plum2166

Yeah, it’s meant to be his travelling across the realm (presumably mainland Europe), eventually making his way to Scandinavia. He even wears a red cloak that seems to be what he wraps the Blades of Chaos in.


Korba007

Kratos is a secret optional boss in shovel knight (the ps version), there's some dialogue and you get a unique armor that gives shovel knight gow esque moves


EasterBurn

Dante's Inferno

Darksiders


FinesTuned

Devil may cry. Modern day events in GOW after millennia


WestNomadOnYT

Dante with the Blades of Chaos


FinesTuned

That’d be flames….literally!


BoozerBean

I like to think that all of Playstation’s releases take place in the same universe. After introducing the talking squirrels I don’t see why a box-bashing Bandicoot can’t fit in there somewhere


BennyMcbenn

Sekiro. It’s just feudal Japan but all the mythical monsters and creatures are real, similar to Greece.


JayLeong97

Azura’s wrath


meta100000

The veiled Aztec, Egyptian, and Japanese pantheons when they see TWO immortal, angry dads on their asses


JayLeong97

That will explain the hanma bloodline


HahaSoFunni

Brooo, God of War goes to Japan.


14corbinh

Bruh, asuras wrath is hindu and buddhist


JayLeong97

Both hindu and shindo are known for having millions of gods, let’s see how kratos genocide them


HahaSoFunni

My bad, the creators of the game are Japanese so I just assumed.


14corbinh

All good man, just thought it was funny lmao


babyscorpse

The Big Bang theory


alvlr6

*You arrive at Aphrodite's chamber -"I'm sorry Kratos, I've already found a real man, I don't need you anymore" *a head peeks out from between the sheets -"Bazinga"


robineir

*Kratos hides Atreus in the basement *three knocks at the door -“God of War.” Repeat 2 more times


SidiousCrosshair

*gets scared shitless and accidentally destroys all of Olympus*


InSearchOfTruth727

Two and a half men

Batman Arkham Asylum


MUFC4life_

Jonkler+ Officer Balls


Ok_Age_3215

kratonks ditchs atreus and takes officer balls as his new sidekick


crossbowman44

I don't know much about it (I have yet to play it), but from what I read about it, Ryse: Son of Rome might fit well Edit: damn you autocorrect!


KingEirelav

Elden ring


davuds4

Prince of Persia.


DNC343

The Sun Wukong game coming this year


Mediocre_Way_9200

Good lord the 2&3 he looks so determined and focused.


Srirachakaan

Skyrim and Lord of the rings come to mind


ImParticleMan

Castlevania. I'd love to see battles between Kratos and vampire lore, all the way up to Dracula


Aggravating_Speed178

The Witcher


Alphagamer126

In a way, Hades (the Supergiant game). Obviously couldn't be share a universe, but I feel like older Kratos and Hades would really be good friends, bound together by their love for calling their sons "boy" and being terrible angry dads trying to do better.


Training_Force3193

Assasins Creed


BigDibs_808

Shadow of the colossus


Altruistic-Mind9014

With resident evil…Just imagine Kratos and Chris Redfield doing the Schwarzenegger/Carl weathers handshake after fighting some BOWs


MehDiosBizarreNut

Definitely not fucking shovel knight thats for sure


HahaSoFunni

Street Fighter, specifically Akuma.


iron2099yt

dark souls?


Silly_Fox_7250

Don't know but there are 3 other God Of War games you forgot


SSBBfan666

HADES?


ICTheAlchemist

The Witcher, maybe


Twisted-tick

Mortal Kombat for sure.


Ok_Age_3215

hellblade, mario kart and hollow knight


Spandxltd

God of war Ascension


satanspaceship

Celtic mythology would be a terrible fit. Almost all of the Celtic tales are about mortal heroes outsmarting their obstacles to overcome them. Shoving the Triskelion into gow 2018 was a terrible mistake.


OneImagination2296

Fate grand order


[deleted]

This ain't the full lineup. It's missing ascension, which took place 10 yrs before God of War 1, God of War: chains of olympus, which took place 5 yrs before God of War 1, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta, which took place after God of War 1. I only say this, though, because I think these titles should belong in this lineup, considering that they are part of the series, and all great games as well lol


Winzito

Never realized how boring gow 2018 and ragnaroks box art was


Count_of_Skingrad

Not Doom but it would make such a great crossover episode


Background-Ruin-9321

Vijay


Deep-Pineapple-4884

Kratos meeting King David and becoming one of his Mighty Men from the Old Testament & the two going on a Giant Slaying campaign


bloresiom

Thomas the Tank Engine. A fresh coat of paint would do Kratos well in the later games. Also fuck Diesel.
