God of War Ragnarok adds Thor, voiced by Ryan Hurst, as the god of thunder
In the upcoming entry God of War Ragnarok, the thunder god Thor will be a major presence, portrayed by Ryan Hurst, widely recognized for his work on The Walking Dead. He confirmed during Comic Con Revolution that he had recently completed recording the final lines for his character, signaling a significant milestone in the game’s development cycle.
Hurst shared more about the performance aspect of Thor, explaining how the team approached animation and motion capture. Rather than relying on traditional sensor suits, the studio created an immersive setup where large screens and real-time visualization allowed actors to see their characters as they performed. This approach helped capture the scale and personality of Thor in a way that felt immediate and lifelike, helping the crew align voice, motion, and expression during the sessions.
Regarding the broader plot, Hurst did not disclose major details about the second part’s storyline. He noted that Kratos’s journey remains rich, layered, and full of turning points, underscoring the series’ reputation for ambitious character arcs and evolving conflict.
Speculation about a September release window has circulated among fans, alongside recent news that the game has received a new age rating in Korea. While many details remain under wraps, anticipation continues to build around how Ragnarok will refine the action, puzzles, and narrative threads that fans have come to expect from the franchise.
For those tracking official updates, the prevailing sentiment is one of cautious optimism as developers balance expansive combat systems with the intimate storytelling that defines Kratos’s world. The interplay between Thor’s mighty presence and Kratos’s enduring quest is expected to shape a memorable chapter in this saga.
