10 Early Versions Of Iconic Video Game Characters You Won't Believe
8. God Of War's Kratos Was A Tribal Warrior
Kratos is probably one of the most recognisable video game characters of all time, which is hardly surprising considering his eloquent design. However, seeing these early renditions, its surprising to see just how much the character changed over the course of development.
Evolving from a tribal warrior to a Greek powerhouse, Kratos has undergone some pretty extensive alterations. However, the left illustration may be the most surprising, depicting the character blindfolded with a small child on his back.
I'm guessing that this Kratos must be a very different character from the one we see in God of War, because besides the luxury of a human shield, I can't see Kratos lugging around the burden of a baby. The guy's pretty athletic with his death-dealing skills, after all.
