3 is gonna like, triple in size and I'm here for it. Sons of Sparta is already giving a lot more world building and lore for the gods than we've ever had.
Also, scaling is gonna be hella different from what little we've seen in SoS.

Since Sons of Sparta has lore about how even the gods didn't dare challange the likes of Thanatos and his siblings (And generally just making primordials seem to be the strongest overall like they mostly are in the actual myths) despite Ghost of Sparta having a partial godhood Kratos being able to fight him, I've been wondering if they're gonna retcon most of the Ghost of Sparta storyline and bring back the storyline with Deimos they originally planned for God of War 3 in the remake.

Honestly, it's already debatable if partial god Kratos should still scale to Thanatos at all with the new info (+ the bronze stele in GoS saying the same thing) so I definitely see them changing it.
A lot of the scaling seems to be shifting thanks to SoS. Nike shielded Zeus from Typhon. Apollo nearly went to war with Poseidon. Cerberus > the Titan Coeus. Uranus having imprisoned all the Titans at once, etc.

Tbf, Ghost of Sparta had the gods fear Thanatos in the very game itself.
And I have high doubts Ascension, Chians of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta will be retconed. They go out of their way to mention those stories in Ragnarök and Valhalla, and Ascension's Primordial war is mentioned again in SoS.
I do agree tho Primordials seem to have been retconed into being more powerful, however I'll bet it on prolly being something like Ragnarök where their God tiers however aren't necessarily beyond the cast.

Chaos is now outright called the formless void that preceded existence. And Greece now has creatures with spatial manipulation i.e. Ladon.
All gods are getting transmutation, etc.

btw kratos blade of chaos flame is came from chaos itself right ?
- 20,200
- 22,106
Yeah. They confirm the primordial fire is from Chaos herself.

is it safe to say athena higher plane of existence is above chaos ?

You may check this, might be important.

You could not have just... asked me first? Whatever, I'll respond.

By Cory's WoG, she's "higher than anybody else" so yes, currently. This could of course change with further information.

This Minotaur here seems to be a cosmic entity based on its appearance (i haven't played the games yet)

It's an undead Ipotane (horse monster). The purple is just spectral energy.

How cool, so Kratos as a kid can interact with non-physical energies. Since he was little, Kratos has shown that he is one of the most powerful characters in the game.

Athena (God of war) vs Ares (God of war)
Zeus and Athena watched through the viewing pool as Kratos and Ares reappeared in the battlefield, Ares reading his final thrust to end Athena’s champion. Mysteriously, the Sword of the Gods, commissioned by Zeus to be put there during the statue's construction, had been broken... by something...

Does every AP attack from GoW characters do CM1/Info2?
- 20,200
- 22,106
Yes.
- 860
- 419
So how do you translate the CM1/Info2 attacks to physical stats like durability? Since as I remember, those abilities are just range for effecting the cosmology.
- 20,200
- 22,106
....? You do realize they carry energy with them too right? And the Universal Energy System in the setting explains how characters scale to that, on the magic page.
- 860
- 419
Alright so if an energy based power is conceptual in nature, they can translate to physical stats?
- 20,200
- 22,106
Well, yes, unless it has no showcase of affecting the physical world directly. All physical and nom-physical power in the setting comes from magic, after all and there's plenty of cosmic feats of raw power from both pantheons.
And honestly, you are very unlikely to come across a universal energy system with no feats lol.

Also if a structure like Yggdrasil trancends the concept of time and space, should it be outerversal? If not, what more context needed for it to apply?
- 15,497
- 4,483
By outerversal are you referring to 1-A or low 1-A?
- 860
- 419
Low 1A.
- 20,200
- 22,106
To my knowledge, you need to prove you transcend every possible dimensional extension of space and time to qualify for Low 1-A. Just "transcending time and space" on its own doesn't count as it can mean many things.
- 860

Can time and space considered to be a type 1 concept in GoW?
- 20,200
- 22,106
No, they're just facets of reality like in any other setting.
