The icy winds of Fimbulwinter have reached Midgard, making survival even more difficult for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Nordic wilderness. Kratos, still carrying the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with the gods. Above all, he wants to protect his son, and their confrontation with Baldur has confirmed the belief that further entanglements with the Aesir will only bring tragedies. Kratos and Atreus must decide together which path they will take. Whatever they choose will determine the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches.
