The God Of War Podcast

Before we set upon the path to the next chapter (and new World/Culture of Myth, likely Mayan) after Ragnarök, let us revisit where God of War's rebirth and continuation began... • God of War is an iconic series renowned for its action-packed gameplay and immersive storytelling. By delving into diverse pantheons, the series fosters cultural appreciation and broaden horizons, setting the stage for its multimedia future as a streaming series and more, allowing even more people to experience its epic tales. The franchise's maturation and evolution of interactive art showcases the Santa Monica Studio's growth, and through intricate narratives, stunning visuals and emotionally complex characters, God of War pushes boundaries and exemplifies the transformative power of video games as a form of artistic expression. • We have a special request for our listeners.

Albert is joined by prominent God Of War YouTuber Kaptain Kuba for a wide-ranging discussion on Ragnarök itself, particularly its powerful metaphorical potential relating to the concepts of severance, renewal, rebirth, and even redemption. What if Freya becomes a mother figure to Atreus by the story's end? What if playing as Atreus could involve shape-shifting? Will Ymir be re-made with the world's undoing and remaking?
