News | Kratos voice actor shares his joy for the new God of War
Christopher Judge, the actor who portrays God of War lead character Kratos, shares his joy at the newly announced new part.
He did that on social media. He posted two videos. In one of the videos he turns on his microphone and says the iconic “boy”. In the other video, he is holding a Kratos action figure and smiling at the camera.
Although it has not been confirmed, it seems almost certain that Judge will once again take on the role of Kratos in the new part. A short teaser of the new God of War was shown during the PlayStation 5 presentation last Wednesday night. Only the text “Ragnarok is coming” was shown.
It’s no surprise that a new God of War for PlayStation 5 is in development: the previous part on PlayStation 4 already hinted at a sequel. Sony wants to release the new God of War in 2021.
News | New God of War will be released in 2021
Sony has announced a sequel to God of War with a teaser.
The images still reveal very little, except for the slogan ‘Ragnarok is coming’. The game thus hints at the mythological event of the same name, where the time of the Norse gods on earth comes to an end.
The game, possibly titled God of War Ragnarok, is likely to continue the story of God of War, which came out for PlayStation 4 in 2018. In it, Kratos has moved into Norse mythology and struggles with fatherhood.
The game will be released for PlayStation 5 in 2021.
News | God of War studio is working with motion capturing
God of War developer SIE Santa Monica Studio is working in a motion capturing studio.
This is apparent from a tweet from Kim Newman, the narrative animator at Santa Monica Studio. The tweet contains a photo of her in a motion capture suit, and she reports that “it feels good to be in the suit again”.
These kinds of suits are used to record the movements of actors and then transfer them to a game. This is also done with the God of War, published in 2018.

Although Santa Monica Studio has not yet announced a new God of War, the photo seems to indicate that they are working on a new part in the Sony franchise behind the scenes. It is also possible that Santa Monica Studio is working on a different or new franchise. Santa Monica has already indicated that they have enough inspiration for a follow-up to God of War.
