God of War Ragnarok Is All About Breaking Cycles, But I Am Scratching My Head About What That Means for the Next One

The God of War series, which began over 20 years ago, was built around themes of revenge, betrayal, and family issues. With the release of God of War Ragnarök in 2022, that core storyline seems to have come to an end, leaving me wondering where the series goes next. After nearly two decades, repeating the same cycle of vengeance would feel stale and uninspired, especially since the father-son relationship – a key part of the 2018 game and Ragnarök – was already starting to lose its impact.
