Sony has had few more impressive revelations throughout the history of E3 than the one it made for God of War in 2016. Nobody expected Kratos to return for PS4, much less with a Norse mythology as context. With everything, Santa Monica Studio put all its efforts into action and printed the characteristic seal of the Spartan.
Throughout a demo of almost 10 minutes we were able to see Atreus and the bearded warrior face all kinds of creatures, but the icing on the cake came with the appearance of a gigantic troll. While crossing a bridge, both protagonists are attacked by enemies, but quickly the monster armed with a huge totem
We had to wait two years until we could enjoy God of War on the Sony console, but at least we knew that this confrontation was guaranteed. The truth is that it doesn’t take too long, since it is the first boss of the entire title, and by the time we approached the bridge we were all tense… but nothing happened.
Although all the players expected a destructive irruption of the troll, it did not take place at that precise moment. If we take another route to reach that frozen area, we will encounter a few threatening wolves and, after defeating them, Atreus will make the following comment: “Phew. He half expected there to be a troll under that bridge.“says the boy with a touch of paranoia.
Obviously, this is a nod from the developer itself to the E3 2016 scene, which was moved to a little later, to everyone’s surprise. “You ain’t ready for a troll, boy“, a firm Kratos replies to his son, although a few minutes later they will have to deal with one.
