Descendants of Other Characters (Concept)

Descendants of Other Characters

CONCEPT

It's all in the family.

Overview

This concept became particularly relevant in games that explored contentious relationships of guardianship. Characters like Atreus (Character), the son of Kratos (Character) in God of War (2018), or J.D. Fenix, son of Marcus Fenix (Character) in the Gears of War (Franchise) series, provide notable examples. In some games, descendants offer a way to continue playthroughs after a character has died or to pass down certain gameplay traits. This is the case, for example, in The Sims (Franchise) series, the Crusader Kings (Franchise) series, and Sunless Sea (Game). Historically, descendants have been important for monarchies and noble families, as they allowed the continuation of their lineage.
