Voice actor Kratos said he initially quit when he learned someone else was directing God Of War Ragnarök

Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge has revealed that he initially quit when he learned that someone other than God of War (2018) Cory Barlog was directing God of War Ragnarök. Longtime Santa Monica Studios head Eric Williams directed the sequel, which was released last month.

Fortunately for all of us, however, Barlog was able to convince Judge that giving up wasn’t the right decision. Judge mentioned this during his lengthy speech at The Game Awards 2022 after accepting the award for best performance in a video game.

Here’s what he said:

“I think we’re privileged to be coming to Tribeca after 2018, and when Cory took me out and said he wasn’t going to direct the sequel, I actually quit. I quit. And he said. , ‘No, I guarantee Eric.’ And I said, ‘Eric Williams better be a beast.’ Eric Williams is a damn monster.”

It is unclear if Judge legally quit or if he was just using these words to express his initial disappointment that Barlog would not be returning to direct Ragnarök. However, Barlog secured Williams, and now we have Ragnarök, one of our highest rated games of 2022 is here Game Info.
