Is Atreus Actually Loki in ‘God of War: Ragnarok’?

Though much of the God of War video game franchise is pulled from Norse mythology, Atreus isn’t canonically the son of the God of War — but Atreus may have a different mythological connection.

Towards the end of the first title, players learn that Atreus’s mother, Faye, originally named him Loki — as in the God of Mischief. It was Kratos who later gave Atreus the name he’s referred to throughout the game, though there’s no doubt this little bit of knowledge will become important in Ragnarok.
