Slik påvirker Atreus kampene i God of War

God of War slippes til Playstation 4 i begynnelsen av neste år (ingen dato er satt ennå), og i sitt comeback har den tidligere så veldig sinte Kratos med seg sønnen Atreus. Etter visningen av spillet på E3 fikk vi en prat med Santa Monica Studios Aaron Kaufman, og han kunne avkrefte spekulasjonene rundt muligheten for co-op:

"It's definitely a single-player game, it's not co-op. But Atreus, who is Kratos's son, as I said, is a really, really important part of the combat loop. So important that we've actually dedicated a button to him."

Han er altså en viktig del av kampene, og du vil sette ham i arbeid ved å trykke på en knapp forbeholdt guttungen:

"So while you're mainly controlling Kratos, Atreus acts as a strategic advantage for you, he's a support for you, he has magical arrows that he fires, he can tag-team with Kratos, he can jump on enemy's backs and jump off them and fling arrows into the air. He's very, very important, he can help you out with puzzles."

<i>"I think what's also important about him is that he plays a deeply, deeply important part in the story. He's arguably as important as Kratos to where we're taking the next God of War game, and I think through the story through their relationship and the dialogue that they share together, and this incredible adventure that they're going on, and a very deeply personal quest, you'll see that in spades and see why it was so important to introduce the son to Kratos."

Kaufman forteller videre om spillets tempo, ulike figurer monstre, og alt dette kan du høre om i intervjuet her:
