This IS the same Kratos.
You play as Kratos through the ENTIRE GAME.
Takes place in the same story line as the first 3, takes place years after.
Norse Mythology also confirmed.

It would be fun to train the next god of war or something, mabye even just have the game one huge father son moment.

I'm sure they might do a small section where you play as another character like what Naughty Dog did with Last of Us when you played as Ellie, but it's obvious they know what they're doing.
