Perhaps Nathan Drake's charm and wit simply don't cut through to the same extent as Kratos' power and fury.More interesting news has come out in terms of titles becoming non-exclusives, and once again it’s for a PlayStation brand.

While 2018's Norse reboot stands alone, Legacy of Thieves offers PC players the fourth and fifth games in a series that is otherwise absent from their platform, likely making for a more tricky barrier to entry. While Uncharted is yet to appear on storefronts, God of War's Steam page is already up, offering an immediate sense of just how excited players were as it rocketed up the pre-order charts. There are plenty of reasons why that might be the case. The latter is far too recent an arrival to be making the jump to PC just yet, but the former are already on their way – Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is heading to PC as well as PS5 early next year – yet that doesn't seem to have captured the imagination of PC players in the same way as yesterday's announcement. Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy arrived in 20 on PS4, and Rift Apart launched for PS5 earlier this year. Of course, Drake and Ratchet & Clank haven't exactly been neglected in recent years. For Sony to hand the latest instalment of one of its longest-running franchises over to PC players feels like a significant step up from Aloy and Deacon St John's moves to Steam. Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and Ghost of Tsushima were brand-new series Spider-Man is a Marvel property even The Last of Us Part 2 was only the second instalment in a series that kicked off eight years after Kratos' first outing. Hit after exclusive hit cemented the PS4 as a must-have console of the last generation, but comparatively few of those games came with the kind of heritage that Kratos offers. God of (console) Warįrom around 2015, Sony has been firmly out in front of Microsoft when it comes to first-party titles. As a result, the decision to shift Kratos' 2018 adventure to PC feels like Sony's biggest statement of cross-platform intent yet. Kratos has been part of the PlayStation furniture for two years longer than even Nathan Drake, eight years longer than Ellie and Joel, and more than a decade longer than Aloy. The only Sony characters who predate the original God of War who are still active today are Spyro and Crash – both of which are now firmly multiplatform figures – and Ratchet & Clank. Kratos first graced our screens back in 2005. A major factor behind that feeling is the characters' position as one of PlayStation's most enduring mascots.
