Why Is Kratos Fighting Norse Gods

Kratos is the protagonist of the god of war series.
Why is kratos fighting norse gods. If the second scenario is indeed happen that kid is definitely thor. The game itself is not being called god of war 4 but simply god of war. Loved all 6 games and i definitely would like to see kratos officially as death not god of death but more as death himself take on other gods in the world. He is a spartan warrior who was tricked into murdering his wife and daughter by ares the greek god of war.
Following orders from the goddess athena he soon murders ares and takes his place among the gods but is haunted by nightmares about his crime. The answer is probably that the designers of the game thought that it was time for the series to be rebooted and that the greece story arc has ran its course. Along their journey they combat monsters and gods of the norse realm of whom they make enemies. Nerdleaks was able to post the concept art from an artist s.
Kratos was taunted as the destroyer of worlds by zeus in ghost of sparta and the charon remarked kratos as being similar to him. Why kratos is in norse mythology now it s the same kratos he s just moved to scandinavia. Norse is one ancient egypt and chinese dynasty and etc. With this being the case the implication is that god of war s protagonist kratos traveled north from greece to norway but the game s director asserts that even though the ghost of sparta is in a norse setting he isn t living in the viking era as some fans have suggested.
Perhaps kratos will now be fighting norse gods such as odin and thor. When he find gungnir he became the odin. In god of war iii he impaled himself with the blade of olympus however the ending was ambiguous about his actual fate. In the norse era of the series kratos takes a turn for the good and finds himself controlling his rage and learning how to truly be a father to his new son atreus.
He might be fighting some kind of monster or on his journey to find the yggdrasil but no gods.
