In a developer interview following the PlayStation Showcase, Sony Santa Monica's Eric Williams, Director of the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok, revealed the character teaser and voice from the gameplay trailer was Thor. He is voiced by Ryan Hurst who is known for his work as Opie Winston in Sons of Anarchy.

You can see that reflected in the way things are stitched, the choice of materials, and being more thoughtful on how they are surviving the extreme weather conditions. Yggdrasil Cloth Map – This cloth map shows each of the Nine Realms within the branches and roots of Yggdrasil.The influence of his father is shown in the red waist cloth piece, the aggressive red arrows, and the red in his bow – you will be able to see how that influence impacts his future upgrades in God of War Ragnarök.

Atreus is always so much fun to work on, being able to collaborate with the writers and see the character grow gives us much to play with as artists and reflect those choices in his look. The combat system, which was a highlight of the first game, has been refined, feels tighter, and has added a catalog of new abilities and moves which makes fights feel far more varied than in the original.” Our hope is to be able to build that same connection between our characters and gamers. For our interpretation, we wanted a design that fit within the visual language of the world we had established in God of War (2018), while also complimenting the story and gameplay the team had in mind.

Success!

God of War Ragnarök is a direct sequel to the 2018 God of War game and sees both Kratos and his son Atreus returning. The game is set a few years after the events of the last game, where the freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard. Every person involved at and with Santa Monica Studio has had a huge role in our ambitious, creative endeavor that is God of War Ragnarok. Our studio process has always been very connected, open, and collaborative, pulling ideas from every talented person across all departments. There is no magic formula to the way we make our games and our art, the important thing is we make it ours.
