In case you missed it, Sony Santa Monica recently offered players a free download of Bear McCreary’s Overture, performed live at E3 2016, as a thank you after God of War‘s reveal trailer crossed 15 million views on PlayStation’s YouTube channel. One hawk-eyed Twitter user, Fabiano Banin, noticed a comment in the MP3 file that read, “An introduction to Kratos and Atreus,” and asked director Cory Barlog if that was the name of Kratos’ son. Barlog confirmed that it was and commended Banin on his discovery.
@corybarlog @bearmccreary Who is Atreus?! On mp3 tag we have this: “An introduction to Kratos and Atreus”… Atreus = son of Kratos?!
