![]() Taking a look at the laundry list of characters that will be out to kill Kratos in God of War: Ragnarok suggests that Santa Monica Studio has employed some clever misdirection tactics in its marketing. RELATED: Why God of War: Ragnarok Launching in November Just Makes Sense After all, Thor was virtually irredeemable as a person, which leaves the door wide open for Kratos to claim it for himself. Even though Marvel has played around with the idea that characters need to be worthy to lift the hammer, this wasn't always the case in Norse mythology. This could suggest that Thor will eventually make way for a bigger threat, so that the Greek god of war can cut loose with a shiny new toy. ![]() It’s worth keeping in mind that it seems unlikely that Santa Monica Studio will introduce Mjolnir into God of War canon, without letting Kratos play around with it. ![]() While there’s every chance that he could pop up at multiple stages, like Baldur in 2018, having a decisive boss fight at the start of the game would be the perfect way to set get things going right. This suggests that the god of thunder might take up a role in proceedings, similar to Poseidon at the start of God of War 3. While he could still feature prominently, there’s a growing list of reasons why he likely won’t be the ultimate main villain.īased on the scenes that Thor has been featured within, chiefly outside Kratos and Atreus’ house, it looks as though he arrives to confront the pair fairly early on in Ragnarok. There’s arguably good reasons for this, based on how Santa Monica Studio has already established his genocidal past and hedonistic personality. RELATED: God of War: Ragnarok Being a Two-Parter Leaves No Time for Happy Endings Thor’s Threat StatusĬonsidering how Thor has already taken up a prominent role in God of War: Ragnarok’s marketing, and was even featured at the end of 2018’s adventure, plenty of fans are expecting the god to be one of Kratos’ biggest adversaries in the sequel. With an ever-increasing list of characters out to make Kratos suffer, there are three others he should be even more cautious around. Even though Santa Monica Studio’s marketing campaign has focused on Thor in this department, there are reasons to believe that the iconic Norse god of thunder won’t be Ragnaok’s big-bad. One of the reasons why fans are so eager on that front though, has a lot to do with God of War: Ragnarok’s epic narrative, and the fights that Kratos is expected to engage in as a result of it. So far, despite ever-increasing pressure, official news hasn’t been shared. While Santa Monica Studio has remained coy, seemingly in an attempt to shield its employees from hype, others have continued to allude to its expected 2022 release date. Thanks to alleged insider leaks and teases though, the tense atmosphere surrounding the game has been ramped up even more. As th sequel to one of the PS4’s defining exclusives, expectations surrounding God of War: Ragnarok were always going to be high. ![]()
