What Is Atreus' Age in God Of War Ragnarok?
Click to enlargeIn the first Norse era God of War title of 2018, Atreus is merely 11 years old, according to the official novel adaptation (via GameRant). He learned how to use his bow more proficiently, and Kratos eventually grew more respect for his son during their first journey. With that in mind, we do know that God of War Ragnarok takes place around three years after the events of his debut game. Do a little bit of math, and we know that Atreus is approximately 14 years old.
The age would make sense as well if you consider Atreus' actor Sunny Suljic. Christopher Judge (Kratos) and Suljic likely performed their roles around the middle of development, so Suljic was likely 14 to 16 years old during the process. He turned 17 in August, according to his IMDB page.
