10 Potential Plot Twists That Could Ruin Upcoming Video Games
8. You Play As Kratos' Son For Most Of The Game - God Of War
The Twist: Players will only control Kratos for the game's opening prologue, after which he dies and the perspective shifts to his young son, Atreus.
Why It Could Ruin The Game: Simply, people want to play as Kratos. He's the series icon, and to switch him out with his son, especially if there wasn't a time jump and he was still a child, would probably be the most-reviled protagonist bait-and-switch since fans got saddled with Raiden in Metal Gear Solid II.
How Likely Is It?: As much as the new God of War is being fashioned as a quasi-soft reboot of the franchise, this is likely too radical a gamble for Sony. It could maybe happen very late in the game, but to give players just a small sliver of Kratos before killing him just sounds like creative suicide. 3/10
