It’ll be interesting to see if Kratos shows up in this DLC, but some fans may expect it to be centered around Atreus. While gamers do get to play asAtreus inGod of War Ragnarok, his move-set is fairly limited, so a standalone expansion would allow the developers to give him a more extensive skill tree.
