It’s also possible there’s a deeper secret here that would endanger Kratos if he knew or - or Odin could have told Atreus as much to deceive him. Kratos also speaks against the entire idea of fate in the trailer, so Atreus could be hiding his intention to enact a prophecy. Given killing gods is kind of Kratos’ whole thing, learning his son is being influenced by one could ruin their still-fragile relationship. If Atreus’ abilities and this strange gift are tied to Odin, that’s reason enough to keep them secret from Kratos. Whether or not Odin gave the artifact to Atreus, it’s something else he seems to be hiding. An excellent trailer breakdown by YouTuber Xevnir suggests this may have been a gift from Odin as well. In the same sequence, we see Atreus looking at a small artifact that’s likely tied to another mystery we’ll get to later.
Odin is tied to magic and divination in Norse mythology, so it’s possible he set Atreus on the path of a prophecy or even granted him the ability to read prophetic signs himself. Later in the trailer, Atreus examines murals that depict a prophecy and answers the door for a stranger cloaked in shadow. The very first words spoken in the trailer are Atreus saying, “Everyone keeps secrets.” That’s accompanied by a shot of Atreus touching a tree, which emits a strange white glow. God of War 2018 began with Kratos’ big secret - basically everything that happened in previous games in the series - being revealed to his son, and now it’s Atreus who has something to hide.
Atreus is calling his own shots in God of War Ragnarok.
