In lieu of a definite "God of War" release date however, Sony did reveal some details of the game. Among the game's details reveal is the actual use of Krato's son in future "God of War" gameplays.

Kratos Has A Son In the Coming "God Of War" 4
"God of War" players are probably wondering what the fuss was about when it was revealed that the game's protagonist, Kratos, will have a son in the coming game. Of course the son's presence was neatly explained as a humanizing factor for Kratos.
Apparently, "God of War" creative director Cory Barlog got the idea that audiences could empathize even with the much-hated and dreaded Star Wars emperor after reading an abandoned Star Wars script, reports Polygon. It is an idea that they wanted to try out with Kratos in the new "God of War" game.
While the story might have appeal to players who want more depth from Kratos or in the "God of War" gameplay in general, not all players will be appreciative of such storyline embellishments. In fact, some are probably getting a bit worried if they would have to babysit the boy in between fights, a task unbecoming of a deity in training.

There is "son button" which can summon the boy who will then assist Kratos in battling his enemies. What is even more exciting is that Shroff revealed that both Kratos and the boy can be upgraded. One can only assume that the son would continue getting stronger with each upgrade, making him an important factor in future "God of War" gameplay.
