Can you see Atreus again in God of War?
Atreus‘ Story Reaches a Crossroads in Ragnarok‘s Ending
In God of War Ragnarök‘s climactic ending, Atreus is last seen walking off into the wilderness with Angrboda after an emotional goodbye with this father, Kratos. This poignant scene suggests Atreus is entering a new chapter focused on connecting with his Jötnar heritage and independence from his father.
However, a special post-credits scene reveals this is likely not the permanent end of Atreus and Kratos‘ relationship.
The Heartwarming Post-Game Scene
If players return to Sindri‘s house after beating the game and enter Atreus‘s room, they trigger a touching post-game scene.
In this scene, Kratos quietly asks Mimir if he provided enough guidance to prepare Atreus for life, not just combat. Mimir reassures Kratos and they discuss Atreus finding first love with Angrboda.

This emotional scene highlights that despite Atreus exploring independence, he still considers Kratos his father and source of wisdom. It suggests their bond persists even as Atreus‘ story evolves.
What This Means for Atreus‘ Future
Based on Sony‘s precedent with major characters like Nathan Drake, it is likely Atreus will return in a future God of War installment even after his dramatic Ragnarök exit. The post-game scene only bolsters the probability of his comeback.
No matter what the next chapter brings, the door seems wide open for more stories centered around Atreus‘ growth into a complex hero, with his legendary father never far away.
