His brother will kill Kratos. Kratos will finally collapse after his revenge mission against Zeus. Will not be able to hurt yet another member of his family and so 'fall on his sword'.
This will end the first series of games and set up the next with Kratos' brother and his revenge against the Gods of the Underworld.
Where the, sadly, the games will start to lose any of the excitement they once had.

wait, "gods" of the underworld. My Greek mythology may be a little rusty but the only god associated with the underworld is Hades. And I'm pretty sure he's on Kratos's "Kill Bill" list.The_Deleted said:
Brother, you have killed all the Greek gods, congratulations.
Unfortunately, when we were separated I ended up with the Romans. Come! Jupiter awaits!
After that they'll meet up with their cousin Siegfried who brings news of Wõden and the other Pagan gods.
Then the series end after they go northward to Odin's chums.

I dunno after the revelations at the end of GoW2 i think the whole Kratos childhood lead may have gone a bit defunct, my guess is was that it was an inital story arc they had planned as a possible lead but then abandoned it.
That said if they can pull of the writing for it i would actually like to see this happen. Could make for an interesting fight

Actually Kratos tends to get killed in all the GoW games. Whether its Ares impaling him, Zeus running him through, or Charon chucking him in the Styx, he always ends up in the underworld somehow. It's just he tends not to let that stop him, and claws his way back out again. The Pillars of Hades is one of the most punishing levels in the first game, because it's so damn tricky to stay on the rotating columns while fiery undead archers fire at you...The Austin said:
There's Hades, Persephone (though she's already dead in GoW canon), Thanatos, Charon (like Persephone already killed by Kratos), Hermes had duties as a psychopomp to some extent, leading dead souls to the Underworld, and the goddess of witchcraft Hecate had some ties with the underworld tooEric the Orange said:
It's not about the main character winning. It's about making sure the main character wins. You don't spend the entire game fighting the one guy; you fight his armies, and his lieutenants, and so on. You make sure he can't kill you. That's most of the game. Maybe the left over Gods imbued Kratos' brother with unimaginable power, so he can put down Kratos? There is a ton of justifications that can lead to Kratos (possibly) losing.The Austin said:
People guessed that for God of War 2 as well.
And if it doesn't happen this time, they'll keep guessing it until they're right. Stopped clock and all that.

I've got an idea of a good way to include Kratos's brother in the game without messing up the storyline. I think Zeus would summon Kratos's brother from Hades and givbe him some godly powers as a last resort of defense hoping that Kratos will get soft. It would happen like this: Kratos will be approaching Zeus for their final battle, Kratos's brother will appear, Kratos would have flashbacks of their childhood together and his brother being taken away. Then his brother would start explaining what he went through, how he died, and why he wants revenge, etc. and then Kratos MIGHT, just MIGHT try not to fight his brother since they were so close as children. But in the end, they would fight. The fight could go 2 ways: 1. He fights and kills his brother, making him hate Zeus even more for putting him and his brother against each other, 2. Kratos loses bcuz he still has feelings for his brother (not "those" type of feelings)and he would fall into Hades, have a lil depression moment, similar to the one in GOW2 b4 u fight the Kraken, den he would get his resolve back from somewhere, possibly by remembering his mother and how Zeus abandoned him and his mother. Then he would continue his journey finding a way back to earth,(Possible time for wen he fights Hades). Once he gets back to earth, he'll challenge his brother again, this time without feelings, and kill him.
That's the thing though. Kratos surviving is irrelavent because it's based on gameplay. The same argument is used when people ask how Issac Clark survived when the trained soldiers were taken downThe Austin said:
