Secret levelThe first season of Kratos has officially come to an end, and while it certainly got many of its interesting video game adaptations right, Kratos' limited role makes it unclear which franchise should appear in the second season. Secret levelWith different episodes, the Prime Video anthology series had more hits than misses during its first premiere, leading to the show being renewed for a second season. Having presented some classic and popular titles, such as Pac-Man, Mega manand War Hammer 40,000, Secret level proved it was capable of adapting some big IPs along with some niche game franchises.
However, one of the biggest disappointments of the project was God of WarIt's Kratos. The iconic character featured in Secret level episode 15, which involved a mash-up of several PlayStation characters. Unfortunately, most of his roles were restricted to brief cameos that didn't have a huge impact on the story, which was a huge disappointment after Kratos appeared in the trailer. With fans understandably frustrated that one of their favorite characters hasn't been given a proper opportunity to shine, there's no question which game franchise Secret level should prioritize when it comes to their Season 2 lineup.
God Of War Deserves A Secret Level Episode Season 2 After Kratos' Disappointing Playtime Cameo
Kratos looked like he would have a much bigger role in Secret Level's first season
Confirmation that Secret level season two is happening means God of War has to appear in the next issue after Kratos' disappointing appearance. Although there were other popular franchises involved in the project God of War was undoubtedly the biggest game suggested for the new Prime Video programmaking the failure to give Kratos a significant role all the more devastating. To be fair, the series never suggested there would be a God of War story and always advertised Kratos as part of the PlayStation episode, but people still expected more since the character was a key part of the story. Secret levelIt's marketing.
The series has already proven that there is a good working relationship with Sony, as there was an episode on PlayStation itself, which means it wouldn't be difficult to make one God of War episode happens.
Unfortunately, he only appeared momentarily and had minimal impact on the plot. Therefore, this being God of WarThe only implication for such a promising show is a huge missed opportunity, and the game needs a dedicated episode in Season 2. The series has already proven that there is a good working relationship with Sony, as there was an episode on PlayStation itself – alongside some exclusive titles such as Concordia – which means it wouldn't be difficult to make a God of War episode happens. With the franchise also having a lot to offer in terms of story, Season 2 is the perfect time for Kratos' return.
God Of War has a lot of adaptation potential
The franchise has a TV show in development and could tell stories beyond Kratos
Although Secret levelthe episodes are short, God of War has a lot of adaptation potential that would make the franchise look perfect for the anthology series. Create a story centered on Kratos' early life, perhaps set during one of the first God of War installments, can create a fun environment. Likewise, an adventure with him and his son who doesn't appear in the games could also be just as fun. Even focusing on Kratos fighting another God has the potential to be a visual masterpiece, as showing violence and brutality is one of the Secret levelgreatest strengths.
On the other hand, the mythology and detailed world-building of the franchise mean a Secret level episode on one of the other gods would also work well. Instead of keeping the focus on Kratos, creating a story about one of the series' countless other interesting characters could still be delivered, as there is so much to unpack in this universe. With Amazon already developing a God of War TV show, highlighting another character in Secret level may be refreshing, but regardless of who the story focuses on, the sky is clearly the limit for Naughty Dog's hit IP on Prime Video.
Prime Video shouldn't have teased Kratos in the Secret Level trailer
His appearance would have been better received if it had been a genuine surprise
Even though Kratos is great for marketing, Secret level It would have been better to leave it outside the trailer. His presence certainly helped draw in viewers, but his forgettable role is undoubtedly a major factor in why “Playtime: Fulfillment” is currently the show's worst-performing episode. Although Jin Sakai's tease offered a similar level of disappointment, God of War It's still a much bigger franchise than Ghost of Tsushimameaning Kratos' limited screen time was more detrimental. To make matters worse, his cameo would have been much better if his appearance was a genuine surprise.
Watching Kratos appear and swing his ax would have been a much cooler moment if it hadn't been announcedand that would have made people more excited about a potential role in season two. Instead, he did very little in the series that the trailer didn't already reveal, leaving viewers frustrated that he wasn't given a bigger role. Considering that it was the first presentation of the program, this error is understandable, and if Secret level may learn their lesson for season two, they may have some unexpected cameos alongside an attractive God of War episode, which would be the perfect redemption.
