God Of War 2018: 10 Major Questions From The E3 Trailer
7. Why Can Atreus Understand The World Serpent?
God of War's E3 2017 trailer climaxes with the appearance of the World Serpent, and bloody hell does he live up to his name.
The gargantuan snake has epic boss battle written all over it, but for now it appears Kratos will forge an alliance with the reptilian thanks to his son's translation skills.
Atreus seems fluent in whatever language the serpent speaks and acts as a go-between for his father while he negotiates a team-up with the mythical creature.
So this begs the question of why the spawn of Sparta is fluent in this tongue and Kratos is not. Is this merely a Norse language young Atreus grew up learning, or is he some kind of serpent whisperer as a result of his maternal DNA?
