"The Evolution of God of War: Valhalla's Epic Journey Continues"

The Valhalla DLC for God of War: Ragnarok provides insight into Kratos' future as the series moves beyond its Norse mythology arc. The DLC serves as a therapy session for Kratos, allowing him to confront his violent past and work through his conflicting feelings about being a god. While the ending of Ragnarok sets up potential story threads for the next game, it remains unclear whether Kratos or his son Atreus will be the focus moving forward. There are hints that a future game could explore Ancient Egypt and its mythology, as Kratos has already been there in the Fallen God comic series. Regardless, Valhalla marks a culmination of the Norse series' arc for Kratos, as he reaches a point of acceptance and peace.
