God of War for PlayStation 4 had such an incredible narrative impact on gamers, and it’s because of that love that so many fans would want to see the adventures of Kratos and his son Atreus continue. While we won’t be getting any DLC anytime soon (or ever), we do have yet another chance to celebrate this phenomenal title because it absolutely cleaned house at this year’s DICE Awards.
The 22nd annual awards show celebrated the greatest triumphs in gaming in 2018. There were many adventures to praise, including the godlike game found within the revamped Kratos narrative. Between Marvel’s Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and the explosion seen in the online gaming scene, there was certainly a lot to commemorate as we look to the year ahead.
