Nah, tyr is in the stories. I think he will show up in the next game. The only time time travel was mentioned is when Mimir told the story of Thor hitting the world serpent so hard it knocked him back in time. Mimir translated the world serpent by saying that Atreus voiced sounded familiar. When Atreus learned of his godhood his first question was “can I turn into a wolf”. My theory is that the mural on the wall at the end depicts the world serpent being born out of guilt, grief or anger. Some part of Kratos soul exists within the world serpent, that’s why he’s white. The world serpent is also destined to kill Thor (and die by him) at ragnarok. I believe that Loki will be the wolf Fenrir (instead of being his child) that is destined to kill Odin at ragnarok.
I think Atreus will adopt the moniker of Loki to infiltrate Asgard after Kratos dies. Atreus is well read and knows their personalities. He is a shape shifter and a douche just like the gods. That’s why the gods loved him. He would ruin their day and then make up for it with cool gifts. All while slowly playing the long con. I think this will play out traditionally with a few cool twists.

If they can make it all work in game form and like you said add some cool twists, Barlog will earn a place in gaming History along with the greats like Kojima.

I agree they did a great job with the Norse material and it has a lot of potential. Im trying to think about how that would work. I would be happy with Loki’s “spartan rage” being a transformation into a giant, powerful wolf and mauling the shit out of people.
The infiltration could be a good place to start off slow and then slowly taking out the gods. In the stories Loki found Baldurs only weakness and deceived Baldurs brother into killing him. Everybody was having a good time watching axes and shit bounce off of Baldur and his brother looked left out so Loki walked up to him and gave him a mistletoe dart to throw. I expect shit like that could be a good work up to full blown war.
