In order to fulfill the prophecy of Ragnarok in God of War Ragnarok, Kratos was tasked with traveling between the realms, recruiting certain key players, and enacting proceeding events. 2018's God of War introduced players to a new method through which Kratos could move between locations Yggdrasil, the World Tree which Norse lore depicts as holding and connecting the nine realms. While Yggdrasil gave rise to an effective mode of travel, as well as some deep storytelling, the feature was not without its problems. In order to improve players overall experience, and avoid the repetitious issues of Ragnaroks World Tree, the next God of War needs to make a major decision with its version of Yggdrasil.
