After Kratos' arc wrapped up beautifully in God of War Ragnarök and its DLC, Valhalla, Santa Monica is taking another look at his past – at least for now. The Greek sagas get one more chapter in the form: God of War: Sons of Sparta, The sequel, now the first game in the series, shows the child Kratos and his adventures with his brother Deimos.
This brings quite a few new characters to the series as we finally get to see parts of Kratos' life that were never shown before as he trains to join the Spartan army. And with new characters, we have new talented voice actors to bring them to life.
TC Carson
As Kratos
Since we're back in Greek legend, it's only fair that Kratos' original voice returns. So, after 10 years in that role, Terrence Connor Carson (mostly known as TC Carson) returns as the voice of Kratos. His version of Kratos is one of the most iconic depictions of any character in gaming, so there's no need to explain how amazing it is that he's back.

Here's how to heal and increase your health in God of War: Sons of Sparta.
That said, since the game takes place in the past with a younger version of the character, TC takes on more of a narrator role. Because the game is about adult Kratos telling stories about his childhood to his daughter, Calliope. Still, this is a rare depiction of Kratos before he makes his biggest mistake, offering a rather unique take on the character.
Anthony Del Rio
As young Kratos
Now this is the voice you will mostly hear in the game whenever Kratos speaks. Antony Del Rio is actually the third Kratos to reprise the role of the character, as he previously played the young Kratos in God of War: Ghost of Sparta.
Just as Carson portrays Kratos before the trauma, we see how well Antony portrays Kratos' actions and mannerisms while also portraying a much softer version of the character. Antony gives us a broad view of what Kratos was like as a child. Not only does it show what a good person he can be when he's not focused on hate, but it also shows how reasonable it is for a kid like this to eventually grow up to be a general, a monster, and a savior.
Scott Menville
As Deimos
We also have Deimos, who takes on a much more active role than ever before in the series. Scott Menville brings the younger version of Deimos to life here, showing how great the differences are between the two brothers while still making them a formidable duo.
His performance as the traumatized Deimos is also a fascinating take on the character, and his back and forth with Antony only enhances the performances of both characters. Plus, it's nice to get more Deimos for the first time in a while. But it's also sad because we already know what the future holds for Deimos.
Debbie Derry Berry
As Calliope
Adam Shapiro and Allen Covert
As Pharsalus and Amon
Adam Shapiro and Allen Covert are here to add some levity and torment you with requests of their own with their monkey characters Passalus and Acmon.
As supporting characters go, their presence is minimal, but their performances give the game a welcome touch and prevent it from becoming overly serious without feeling overly welcome.
Amelia Rose Blair and Kimberly Brooks
Eleonora and the Oracle
What would a Greek god of war be without an oracle? The gods will smile upon you as divine assistance is provided in your quest. Amelia Rose Blair You play Eleonora, a key supporting character, to help you with all the blessings the gods have to offer.
Next is Kimberly Brooks. Depicting one of the many oracles the series presents, we now provide information for your quest. She doesn't appear as much as Eleonora, but she gets the job done.
Misty Lee
As Adrasteia
For aerial support is Adrasteia, a loving mother figure in griffin form. Thanks to Misty Lee. And her amazing performance, this caring Griffin has a lot of personality.
Her presence is quite unique in the series. That's because the franchise has very few non-enemy monster-like creatures to kill, especially in Greece. Combine this with the voices and you have a solid supporting character that can help Kratos and Deimos on their journey.
Bridger Zadina
As a dedicated person
Now, not everyone can be so kind and supportive, right? The Devoted One appears as an antagonistic figure to us Spartans, and although his presence is minimal, his voice is provided by Bridger Zadina. It fits the character perfectly.
Still, despite his minimal presence and small-scale evil, Bridger makes the character stand out when he appears and his delivery is on point. With Kratos and Deimos being a big enough threat to handle without being too big, it doesn't make sense to have just two children taking care of everything.
