God of War’s Art DirectorRaf Grassettitweeted out an interesting status update from SDCC that should get fans of the highly acclaimed title excited. We have a female Kratos cosplay, which is already awesome, paired with the recreated (and naturally fake) head of Mimir:
InGod of War, Mimir is a God of Wisdom who, after Odin accuses him of aiding the giants, binds him to a tree that even Thor’s hammer can’t destroy and tortures him everyday for 109 years. Kratos and his son Atreus came to him and agreed to cut his head off and bring it to someone who can reanimate him. After they succeed, the father and son carry the living head with him through the rest of their journey.
It seems the cosplayer gets that detail very right since she’s literally wearing him. The sculpture even sports one of the Bifröst crystal eyes (the other being torn out by Odin) that Mimir still uses. It’s always fun to see game developers have fun and mingle with the fans, especially when they notice cool things like this in the process.
This is hardly the first Kratos cosplay, as the talented Alex Wolf debuted hisown strong renditionof the iconic gaming character as he recreates memorable moments from the game.
