Not sure why they're attached to Kratos. Makes NO sense to have him in another mythology. Also they could have a new character to explore. Missed opportunity imo and I'm less interested because of his inclusion. This coming from a guy who has gotten 7 platinums from GoW over the years.

I guess they're trying to show that Kratos is the God of War in any mythology? Maybe at the end of this game he'll end up killing the Norse God of War... which is Tyr, right? (I'm gonna' need to refresh my memory of Norse Gods, lol) and taking his place, and it'll basically become a rehashed story of the original trilogy, set in a new mythology?

I'm still not sure about this either way though, I DO think it'd have made more sense to have a new character rather than Kratos again, especially since I'm still not sure if this is supposed to fit in with the story we already know, or the beginning of something new? And the idea of having the kid with you throughout the whole game makes me feel like it'll be a lot more tamer, since Kratos will probably want to resist from showing his anger and rage in front of him... 

... Yeah, not sure what I think about it, as I said before, lol

I just looked up who is the God of War in Norse, and you're right it is Tyr. He's a Wiki page on him:

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyr

 

He's the god of single combat, so if Kratos does have to kill him, we'll have a brutal close combat fight with him.

 

EDIT : Wiki also says that Odin is the god of war, as well as many other things.
