In the last game, that meant a lot of rowing in a boat to get to various sections, and here, that role will likely be filled by these two big fluffers. While we saw a glimpse at a new, sunnier section of the world, chances are players will spend a lot of time exploring this new, frozen version of the Lake of Nine. And the notion that they will simply be there for a brief moment is even more heartening.

The pure presence of the cuddleble pair is all I need. I will get no answers to those questions for some time, but that doesn’t matter.

Were they wilderness pups who decided to team with Atreus and Kratos through the long winter? Are they actually the godly dogs Skoll and Hati, the two wolves Odin sent to chase the Sun and Moon, catching and devouring them at Ragnarok? If that’s true, do they just need to kill some time now that they had their dinner? Most importantly, do you as a player get to pet them after a long hard segment of killing Dragur and trolls, perhaps even giving them some treats? They certainly deserve some after all that running on ice.

Our glimpse at the in-desperate-need-of-belly-rubs duo is short, but already I can’t stop thinking about everything they are and how they may play into the story.
