God of War: Ragnarok<\/a>\u00a0is one of Sony’s most anticipated releases. The sequel to the\u00a02018’s megahit<\/a>\u00a0was initially teased about a year ago, and we initially expected Ragnarok to release sometime this year. However, in June, Sony confirmed that the title was\u00a0getting pushed to 2022<\/a>. Several factors likely led to this delay, but Kratos’ voice actor Christopher Judge recently took to Twitter claiming responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In reality, it’s hard to say that Judge was entirely responsible for Ragnarok’s delay. Voice actors don’t know every detail in a game’s production pipeline, and factors such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also likely played a part in Sony’s rescheduling. Even so, it’s interesting to hear Judge’s perspective on the matter. We’re glad to hear that he’s doing better these days. The actor brought a lot to Kratos’ personality, and we’re happy that he’ll be returning for Ragnarok.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For more on God of War: Ragnarok, be sure to read our recent interview with director Eric Williams, where he talks about his\u00a0vision for Thor<\/a>\u00a0and how\u00a0not having kids<\/a>\u00a0affects his overall design for the characters. Regarding Thor, Williams said, “Marvel’s interpretation of him is one thing. It’s interesting. We wanted to, you know, go a little deeper into the mythology itself,” Williams says about Thor having a burlier body type. Being godly is all about presence, and while this version of Thor doesn’t look like a sculpted underwear model, his traits of power and intensity are no less effective. Williams also talks about people he knows in real life with a bigger stature and how that translates into Thor: “They have a presence immediately. And it’s not always because of muscles. They’re just like that is a wall of a human being, you know. So this is a wall of a God, you know, and that’s why it was very important.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
