It's inevitable that every Greek Mythology retelling must be "We must defeat a resurgent Kronos" since like Age Of Mythology

Yeah and apparently they did the Chronus/Kronos merge too, but that one is pretty old at this point and cool thematically so I'm okay with it.

he'd be so terrible at it lol

I have to agree, the original olympians were all super unique but except for Hecate these are pretty samey-looking. also I thought Nemesis was just Wonder Woman for a second.

I had the same thought but they are also mostly chthonic deities so them looking gray-er and more thematically uniform may be intended.


I like this one:

I wonder how they're gonna characterize Chronos. First game was ultimately about a broken family getting back together through the uncovering of secrets so it's likely that the nature of Hades's upbringing (and how that might reflect on his relationship to his own kids) will be an important thematic point. "Chronos has escaped, go kick his rear end" is also a pretty simple plot (even somewhat of a cliché in modern works) so there's room to give the narrative a bit more depth.

Just noticed how Poseidon never mentions Zagreus by name. It's all 'nephew' and 'little Hades' as if he's too old and senile to remember a new name.

As the self-appointed Cool Uncle, of course he's going to have a nickname for him.

If their titan dad was the big antagonist, it would make sense that Zeus and Poseidon return.

Following that logic that also makes Demeter along with maybe Hera and Hestia more likely since those all were directly involved in the Titanomachy.

I don't know if we should expect all of the first game's Olympians to come back - it might increase the amount of work needed on balance, voicelines, etc. too much - but OTOH they're all pretty popular with fans so any of them could conceivably be there.

It's gonna be revealed that with the same anachronism as the Adamant Rail, Poseidon has his own motorcycle and convertible car.

It kind of get lost in the pop nerd understanding of Zeus but he has plenty of redeeming qualities. He's the protector of the cosmic order, of sacred hospitality, he's the life-giving sky. There were reasons for his worship.

Ragnar34 posted:

The lone shade in the Theseus fight who's on your side, could that be Ariadne?

It works better IMHO if it's just a random shade who's enthusiastic enough to openly support you. Anyway since Hades's original concept had Theseus as its protagonist I'm sure they have notes on what they could do with Ariadne somewhere.

I guess it's not impossible that they'll try to humanize Chronos too, eventually, even if he'll still be way, way worse than Hades ever was (for one, Zagreus never visited his father's stomach).

I will second that Zeus shield is super fun. Maybe not the best, but fun.

Why is Zagrius so weak, anyways? He's the son of the god of the dead. Why does he need so much help from other gods just to fight, say, a Furie or a dead hero?

All of these people are related to gods in some way, the difference isn't as stark as it appears. Also they have more experience fighting than he does.

e: And Zagreus is only 3/4th of a god, Persephone's father was a mortal instead of Zeus in this version. He's more human as a result, which is why he bleeds normal blood instead of divine ichor.
