A source of this process is found in Snorri Sturluson's Edda (the main source of knowledge of Norse mythology that has survived, divided into two texts, the poetic Edda and the prose Edda, written during the 13th century in Iceland, but perhaps not by the same author), in which the scholar traces the story of Thor back to the reign of Priam of Troy, of which the Norse god (originally Trór) would be one of the innumerable sons. The historical origins God of War Ragnarok: Thor, the beloved and feared god of thunder Like most of the divinities, Thor also seems to have evemeristic origins (a current of philosophical thought that takes its name from Evemero da Messina, for the which the genesis of the gods would derive from influential individuals whose life and collective memory has led to a process of divinization, giving rise to myths and legends, as well as religious traditions and cults even very widespread). Let's go, then, to discover Thor, the new nemesis in God of War Ragnarok. mass, who want to be teased and intrigued by a videogame work, rather than educated. Exactly from the god of thunder we would like to offer you some insights into Norse mythology and the way in which Santa Monica Studio has adapted these stories to make them not only compelling and coherent within its narrative cycle, but also easily assimilable for a Western audience. The most striking was perhaps the one concerning the appearance of Thor, disputed by many for his not exactly statuesque physical form. However, several additional information has already been provided, capable of sparking discussions and diatribes. There are several directions that the developers can go with this fight in order to make it extremely compelling and memorable.God of War Ragnarok God of War Ragnarok, the second chapter of the Norse saga starring Kratos and his son Atreus, is still quite far from the world shelves. Kratos doesn’t even have to kill Thor right away, though he could if Sony Santa Monica wants to mirror the death of Poseidon from the start of God of War 3. God of War: Ragnarok should instead go all out with its Norse gods, and this fight would be a good way to establish that. God of War was quite reserved with the gods it chose to feature, but the sequel could go all-in. And, if Thor soundly defeats Kratos, that could provide a strong narrative reason as to why Kratos might be depowered at the start of a new game. Kratos certainly won’t be a slouch to take down, so this fight could immediately set the stakes for who you’ll be fighting in the game. This would immediately get players into the fight and mirror the brutal Baldur fight from the previous game. God of War already laid this scene out nicely, so why not kick off God of War: Ragnarok right here? Sony Santa Monica could have a brief scene beforehand to set up whatever the new status quo between Kratos and Atreus is before they try to go to sleep and are interrupted by Thor. This turns out to be a dream, but Atreus (who we now know is Loki) says it feels more like a premonition. Kratos shouts “Who are you!?” and the man pulls his cloak back, revealing Mjolnir. Kratos and Atreus step outside and see a mysterious hooded figure. The game then jumps forward several years and shows the pair awaken to a terrible storm outside their house. After a long journey to spread Faye’s ashes in Jotunheim, Kratos and Atreus go home and fall asleep. Like a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, a post-credits scene from God of War teases what comes next. Kratos and Thor will inevitably have to fight each other in the sequel, so why not kick off God of War: Ragnarok right where the post-credit scene for 2018’s God of War.

While the story of this upcoming sequel is still largely a secret at this point, the last game in the series already set up a fantastic cold open. We hope the next entry in the series, which fans are already calling God of War: Ragnarok, manages to do that same. Whether it’s the bombastic Hydra fight of the original or the more subdued sequence from 2018’s God of War that leads to a fight with Baldur, the opening to every God of War game has a way of sticking with you. Every God of War game has an iconic opening.
