Kratos Goes To Fairy Land In God Of War 4 Concept Artworks, Adopts Norse Mythology
There are some big changes coming to the God of War franchise if leaked concept artworks have any bearing on the future. Sony is taking Kratos to lands where chin-warming beards are almost mandatory.
A significant cache of art has leaked courtesy of NerdLeaks who nabbed the files from someone who had worked on the Santa Monica Studio project. Their website has since disappeared, presumably after Kratos exacted vengeance on behalf of Sony marketing.
All that Greek demigod drama looks to be on the way out for the series as the artworks show a very different setting. It seems things are going Norse in mythology and will be involving the various legends and tales of old. Some of the environments include Alfheim, also known as the Land Of The Fairies, and is one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
Other pieces of concept work include the signature patterns and architecture of the rich history behind the Norse way of things. Speaking of which, Kratos seems to be growing a beard which will presumably keep his Greek chin warm in those colder climates.
The collection of leaked artwork has been preserved over on the NeoGAF forums.
Sony developing a new God of War is no surprise and is even backed up further by the recent 'PlayStation 4K' info that's spilled, with a God of War 4 said to natively support the new and more powerful 4K capable console.
