To mark the premiere of the sixth season episode of Rick and Morty, the creative team behind the animated series released a compact promotional clip that teases a crossover moment with God of War Ragnarok, slated for release this fall.
In the video, Rick shaves his hair and coats his face in red paint, adopting a Kratos-like appearance. He then drags Morty through a portal into a vivid fantasy landscape. There, the duo encounters a Leviathan axe and a whimsical scene unfolds as Morty fends off birds with a bow that oddly uses a plunger instead of an arrow. The short sequence blends Rick and Morty humor with recognizable elements from the God of War mythos, creating a playful nexus between the two franchises.
This isnt the first time the show has joined forces with a major game title. Earlier, in 2019, a different promotional moment drew attention to a game crossover featuring Death Stranding, hinting at the characters fan engagement with blockbuster releases in a tongue in cheek fashion.
Season six of Rick and Morty is available for viewing, continuing the shows tradition of blending sci fi surrealism with everyday family dynamics. God of War Ragnarok is expected to arrive on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on November 9, bringing with it the ongoing debate among fans about how Kratos and his mythic world might intersect with the irreverent humor of Rick and Morty. Recent previews have offered glimpses of core gameplay mechanics and combat ideas, fueling anticipation for the full release this fall. In the meantime, players and viewers alike can anticipate additional cross promotional content as both franchises expand their storytelling avenues and audiences explore how these distinct universes might converge on screen and in game design.
