With the release of God of War: Ragnarokon the horizon for 2021, fans of the series have quite a lot to look forward to. Given the massive success the most recent entry received, it's clear that there is still a lot of demand for the series. It will be interesting to see what the future holds in terms of God of War. For instance, the remaster of Marvel's Spider-Man features a remodeled Peter Parker that was not received favorably by the gaming community initially. While it feels like a lifetime ago (but was actually like, only three months ago), God of War: Ragnarok was at one point projected to come to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2021.Back in June, the game was delayed until 2022.Now we have a little more context as to why the second half of Kratos and Atreus’ story isn’t making it out this year, because Kratos actor Christopher Judge claims. It's often the case that voiceover and motion capture is done by separate people, but that isn't always true, especially with newer games, and sometimes issues can occur as a result. In any case, it's interesting how much overlap there is in terms of both voiceover and motion capture. This situation is almost similar to Kiefer Sutherland replacing David Hayter as Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5. Apparently, Sony hadn't reached out to him with regards to Kratos' recasting, which came off as unprofessional to Carson.

Hence, the casting of Christopher Judge instead.Īlthough, on the topic of his replacement, Carson mentioned how unceremonious it was. Christopher Judge, the voice behind Kratos in 2018s God of War and the upcoming sequel, has said that his surgery was the reason that God of War: Ragnarok was delayed from its original 2021. Going into God of War (2018), Cory Barlog, the director of the game, wanted the voiceover and motion capture to be provided by the same person and Carson's body type didn't match how Kratos looked in-game. When Carson previously did the character, he provided the voiceover, while another actor did the motion capture. In a recent interview that Carson did with YouTube channel djvlad, Carson explains why he was unable to reprise the role of Kratos. RELATED: Original God of War Creator Plays The 2018 Reboot Before the release of God of War (2018), many fans found it odd how Carson was getting replaced after playing the character in every single game up until that point, but there's a decent reason for it. However, one individual who served an important role in the franchise's infancy explained why he wasn't featured in the latest installment.īefore Christopher Judge took over as Kratos' voice actor, the character was portrayed by TC Carson, an American singer and voice actor, who also played Mace Windu in various Star Wars projects. It's one of the most influential hack-and-slash franchises ever created and even after fifteen years, God of Warremains relevant. Of the PlayStation IPs that have popped up over the last several decades, God of War is one that left a significant mark on both the gaming industry and gaming community.
