Next to Mount Olympus, Atlantis is probably one of the most recognizable places of legendary ancient Greece. The mythical lost city has long inspired the imaginations of authors, songwriters, artists, etc. Those familiar with the God of War series may recall the God of War II bonus materials including a video about the levels that did not make the retail release. One such level was Atlantis, and as you can see in the video below, while the level was far from prime time, it had certainly left the infancy of a concept.

Atlantis was going to be an entire world in the game [God of War II] and we lost that one too unfortunately, maybe it will come back some other day.
- Stig Asmussen

Here is some additional concept art from the lead artist, Cecil Kim. As you can see the ambition for this area is quite high and it’s interesting that Stig referred to this as a world and not a level, as the area does appear to be quite massive.

So what does this all have to do with God of War III? During the boss fight with Poseidon, he talks some godly trash, telling Kratos that he is bound to failure and in general praising the power of the gods.  At a certain point in the battle with Poseidon, he makes direct mention of Atlantis in a manner that suggests that Poseidon and Kratos have some history there. While this may sound like a stretch, it is not uncommon for the series to foreshadow itself in such a manner.

Ah, so he'll meet Drake?

God dammit, you spoiled that Kratos lives after GoW III >.

lol

So... this is what I get when I try to dodge any possible spoilers from the OP comment... lmao no point in playing GoW3 now =( next time please wave your arms while you scream SPOILERS ALERT!!! and don't quote the actual spoiler <_>

How is that a spoiler? I've never played it and i assumed that he lived because of the nature of the game.

when was that mentioned

No, I'm sorry but I want a god-like Kratos. Yeah the action is nice but It'd be great if the people at Sony look at Actraiser and decided to gave this guy a real deity treatment.

Imagine great action levels against demons and creatures from other myths, after that you can get treasures or points to share with your people. This'll help you to build better cities, stronger armies, advanced technology, etc. So after building your empire you can use your strategy to attack other countries and unlock new levels based in other myths (mayan, african, nord, etc.)

And you had to fight Odin, Quetzalcoatl, among other big ancient gods. After that you can either enslave their people forcing them to work for you, ending the women to your brothes or you can be a merciful god and share your power with them to build a bigger empire...... ok I just want a new Actraiser game.

If Kratos has a future that can be in Atlantis, he is alive.

Should be a spoiler alert in here...
