While God of War Ragnarok is all about god slaying and the dynamics between Kratos and Atreus, there are overlooked moments throughout that could be further explored in future games. One such moment is the tragic death of Brok and how it could set up one character as a future villain.

As players would remember, Brok’s death throws his brother Sindri into rage and anguish. Although we don’t really get to see what happens further apart from a few moments, there is a possibility that this could lead him to become a villain and feature in one of the future games.

Sindri Will Surely Return In One of the Future God of War Games

Since Sindri is alive, he is bound to return in one of the future games. It would be interesting to see one of the nicest characters so far in the series turn into a rageful person. However, this might be its own arc where we get to see him coming back to reality and calming down.

It’s hard to see him as a full-fledged villain since he ultimately wants good for Kratos. The most likely scenario is him featuring in one of the spinoff games where Atreus is the main protagonist. He would not likely be the main villain but just one of the antagonists who later comes to his senses.

Another reason why he won’t fully commit to the dark side is because that’s not what Brok wanted. He might be in a rage now, but later, Brok’s will prevail, and he will again team up with the main guys.

One way to bring back his character in future God of War game is by adding a specific weapon that is required to kill one of the bad guys. This would lead Kratos and Atreus to seek out Sindri, who would ultimately forge that weapon.

Brok is One of the Most Underrated Characters in the God of War Series

Brok is one of the characters that is overshadowed by the brilliance and spirited personality of the protagonist, in this case, Kratos. That said, one cannot undermine his contribution to the series, as he helps out the hero several times.

He is responsible for enhancing Leviathan Axe for Kratos, which is necessary for progression. He also continues to upgrade Kratos and Atreus’ gears throughout the series, helping them level up for combat. When Kratos and Atreus are unable to access Thamur’s corpse, he assists them by forging a key that grants them access.

He, alongside his brother, also provides comedic relief, taking your mind away from the intense story and combat of the game. Towards his death, he becomes goalless and loses his will to live. Though he ultimately dies, his passing away has a profound effect on everyone.
