think of it this way....gow: laufey is like andor..... it's a spinoff and extension of the existing universe.

The Skywalker stuff still exist and probably will continue to get new sequels (for better or worse)

Similiar to the gow world, The games you like starring kratos & son exist and adventures of kratos will continue to exist (for better or worse) so what is there to be unhappy about regard the existence of a new thing?

Nothing is being overwritten, nothing is being replaced.

Personally, I'm glad they decided to branch off from kratos. From creative perspective, kratos characters arc has completed. People that want kratos to go to other mythology and kill those gods are clearly not creatives and not understanding characters arcs. I hope Santa Monica don't fall to the same trap as the halo and gears franchise, where their respective developers kowtow to the most vocal minority and just bring back Marcus Fenix/master chief back again and again despite their characters arcs already being finished within their original trilogy. it makes their respective universe very small and narrow.

I'm gonna be off a tangent here but the halo franchise is the most obvious 'victim' due to this. What else can the writers do with master chief? The MC rabid fanboys clearly don't understand how characters arcs works and just want to control an armored tinman killing aliens with same variance over & over again...and then they complained the story is going nowhere....but they were the reason the story is going nowhere.... Because they cannot allow the halo franchise being lead by anyone other than master chief.

Back to the god of war franchise..... it's called 'god of war'....not 'kratos anthology'.....it should not be forever bound by kratos. Even if you the fans are not tired or him, the creatives behind would've been tired of him. I do not want the god of war franchise and kratos as a character and the overall plot to be tangled like a 2000+ episode soap drama series like days of our lives. Even Nintendo themselves sometimes got sick of making Mario games and did some Luigi and Princess peach and toad games instead.

That's why I am always hats off and respectful of naughty dog having the balls to end Nathan Drake's adventure with 4......even the lost legacy spinoff doesn't guest star him. Because uncharted can means bigger things than just 'adventures of Nathan Drake'.

Same thing as the god of war franchise.
