Kratos is approximately 1,050 to 1,055 years old by the time of the 2018 God of War game and around 1,064 years old in God of War Ragnarök. This estimate is based on historical events that align with the game's timeline: the destruction of Sparta around 464 BC (the end of God of War 3) and the onset of Fimbulwinter around 535 AD (just before God of War 2018), plus the three years leading up to Ragnarök. Assuming Kratos was about 40 years old at the end of God of War 3 , this places his age at over a millennium by the Norse saga era

. Despite his advanced age, Kratos ages very slowly due to his godly powers, making him effectively ageless and nearly immortal, though he is not invulnerable to death
