Christopher Judge, the actor who has played Kratos in the most recent God of War games, seems to have leaked information about both the God of War remakes, and whatever Sony Santa Monica are working on.
A video seems to show him confirming something we already knew, that TC Carson will be returning to the role of Kratos in the remakes, but he also adds that there will be “new technology and new fighting systems”.
He then goes on to say that “then you will be hearing what we’re doing probably late summer”. He does not specifically say that it’s a new God of War game, but the “we” he refers to is presumably Sony Santa Monica, who have not released a game since God of War Ragnarok in 2022.
The video is now longer on the YouTube channel it seems to have been ripped from, and it really does not look like AI, but you can never be 100% sure these days.
In God of War (2005), Kratos serves Ares, the God of War, after pledging himself in desperation during battle. Manipulated by Ares into slaughtering his own wife and daughter, he eventualy ends up killin Ares and taking the title for himself.
The second game has Kratos stripped of all his powers by Zeus, killed, and banished to the underworld. He eventually teams up with the Titans, rewinds time and attacks Mount Olympus. Clearly not learning his lesson from the first time, Zeus then kills him again in the third game.
Judge will not be playing Kratos in the upcoming Amazon TV show, that honour goes to Ryan Hurst who has previously voiced Thor in God of War Ragnarok. Ryan Hurst is best known for playing Opie Winston in Sons of Anarchy and will be seen on the big screen later this year in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
The show has had two seasons ordered before the first scene has been filmed, with pre-production currently underway. The series will be skipping the Greek games and beginning in Norse mythology, but one would assume they are going to have explain why Kratos is covered in white ash and has giant chains wrapped around his forearms.
