If God of War 3 follows greek legends patterns,it should have a tragic end

[Vetteman94]

I've kinda always knew in the back of my head the Kratos was going to die at the end. For the same reasons you state too, greek legends almost always end in tragedy. And I am fine with that, there will always be room for prequels. I just hope they dont milk it too much and ruin what is a fantastic series.
