2. A Series Reboot
The fans would be more angry and vengeful than Kratos himself if Sony palmed them off with another prequel, but its debatable whether they want a traditional sequel, either. The Ghost of Spartas story has a solid beginning, middle and end, so why draw it out beyond its natural conclusion? Perhaps hitting the reboot switch is the only way for the God of War series to thrive in the PlayStation 4 era? Starting afresh, retelling the story of Kratos with the raw power of the PS4 on their side is one option at Santa Monicas disposal. Retain the essence of the original, with expanded levels, superior graphics and online co-op support with Deimos shoehorned into the mix. Another option is to wipe the slate clean, retain the Ancient Greek setting but with an alternative protagonist taking up the God of War crown. Maybe Ares could be our anti-hero?
