Bear McCreary recently revealed an English translation of the Kratos theme in 2018’s God of War and its sequel, letting us know how the music relates to the character and his journey.
The theme of 2018’s God of War is melancholy, as it reflects on Kratos after he left Greece for Midgard. God of War: Ragnarok’s theme does change the lyrics slightly, as we see God of War reflect more on his past and how he wants to shape his future.
Check out the themes for the 2018 games below:
captive god. Shame on the father. Mother’s hope. Painful child.
