10 Weird Video Game Facts That Became Canon
8. God Of War Is Canon - Shovel Knight
When you think of Kratos, do you think of the famous god killer who travels the world ridding it of ancient pantheons? Or do you think about that one hidden boss fight in Shovel Knight that you probably don't even remember existed?
Well, what if I told you that both of these characters are actually the same guy in-universe?
Yes, Kratos' small cameo in Shovel Knight isn't just a fun little nod to an existing franchise with a short boss fight to go along with it. According to the actual dicetor of God of War, Cory Barlog, Kratos' short visit to Shovel Knight's world was a canonical event in the God of War series.
How did he end up there and what kind of gods he would've killed is anyone's guess, but this is in fact a canonical event in Kratos' bloody journey. Whatever hardships and traumas he experienced between his time in Greece and Scandinavia, they were also spruced up with a jolly adventure in the colofrul realm of quirky knights!
If you want to make things even weirder, Yacht Club Games, Shovel Knight's developer has confirmed Battletoads to be part of the game's canon, too, so...
Kratos killing toads when?
