God of War Ragnarok sets up a potentially major shift in the franchise, following the game's focus on Atreus's journey into young adulthood. Surprisingly, something similar can be seen in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which tees up Miles to be the star of the show in future iterations. It's possible that the sequel to God of War Ragnarok is releasing sooner than fans might think, and it will be interesting to see if the two franchises continue to mirror each other in this regard.
