** He's still a ''kid'', guys.



* [[spoiler:Jossed. Kratos survives; that's Odin (the All-Father) Atreus is holding. Though there is the implication that if Kratos hadn't recognized his flaws and changed for the better, it ''would'' have been him.]]

to:

* [[spoiler: It's complicated. Odin wants to prevent destiny, but as it turns out the only way to actually do that is to change oneself for the better and stop making choices that will ultimately lead you to ruin. Kratos and Atreus get it (and though they do cause Ragnarok, both survive it), Odin doesn't.]]

[[WMG: Atreus will be fully playable in the sequel.]]
His playstyle will probably be drastically different from his father, perhaps a heavier reliance on magic for evading and eliminating enemies.

Mimir explains that time travel apparently exists in Midgard as well with the World Serpent being said to have come from the future (which is also why he apparently recognizes Atreus). Going out from this, it's possible that Atreus himself returned from a future time to blow the horn and speak with Jormungandr for a particular reason. Reason for this guess would simply be the twist value of it.
** To speculate further, this will occur either after Kratos has died or during a sequence that sees Kratos in critical condition. After he speaks with Jormungandr, Atreus will follow Kratos and witness parts of Kratos' journey to cure Young Atreus[[spoiler:, possibly disguised as one of the deer that follow Kratos down the river]]. It will be a chance for Atreus (and the player) to remember Kratos subtle love for his son during on of the emotional low points of this prospective new game. Atreus' volatile emotional state during this sequence will be the cause of the inexplicable storm that rolls in while Kratos rows to Freya's forest, just as Young Atreus caused a storm with his rant against Sindri.

[[WMG: Odin is intentionally speeding up to Ragnarök.]]
Mimir points out that he had Odin marry Faye to bring about peace. Odin instead use it as a chance to learn Vanir magic and turned against the giants once more. Furthermore, Mimir was trying everything to make sure Ragnarök was either averted or that Asgard would be as strong as it could be with enough allies to save as many people as possible. Also, [[spoiler:with the death of Baldur 100 years early being caused directly by Odin sending him to Kratos]] it's possible that Odin '''intended''' that to happen. Mimir assumes that Odin is just a monster, but maybe Odin has a bigger plan in mind or just wants a TakingYouWithMe scenario. It's hard to imagine that the wisest of all gods was just so paranoid that he unintentionally sped up doomsday and ruined his top advisor's credibility. The fact that [[spoiler:Magni and Baldur]] fail to resurrect after being killed when normally Aesir journey to Valhalla under their own power indicates something bigger at work here.

** Jossed: Recent trailers showed Kratos adamant about how killing the gods have consequences. Not just that but the developers said they're aiming to tell a Bruce Banner story rather then a Hulk story.

[[WMG: Atreus [[spoiler: went to the past and manipulated Odin into becoming obsessed about his fate come Ragnarök.]]
It would make sense in context depending on the story. Atreus going back in time to a point where Odin was still a jackass but not as much as he is now (maybe even when he drank from Mimir's Well of Knowledge) and using a type of precognition magic would show Odin a vision of his death. The resulting shock and horror from such a vision would spur Odin into becoming obsessed with changing his future and therefore setting down the path that Atreus laid out for him. The reason that Atreus would do this may be as part of his plan to take down the Aesir by sowing the seeds of hate and revenge in the people of all the realms and spurring them to fight with him against Asgard when Ragnarök arrives.

Týr isn’t dead as many believe, he’s just locked up in Asgard. Odin is far too paranoid about Ragnarök to kill Týr, who is supposed to die by Garm during the final battle. He could also become an ally of Kratos in the next game.
