Earlier today, Sony launched a brand new video on the upcoming God of War, showcasing one of the new types of enemies that Kratos will have to go up against.
The Draugr – or Draug – is undead creature that is often found within Norse mythology. Players may remember them from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where they often inhabited dungeons or places that had been ransacked and destroyed. It’s unknown what their role in God of War will be, but it’s likely that Kratos will be seeing a lot of the zombie-like creatures on his travels.
The character reveal is another entry in the “Lost Pages of Norse Myth” series that Sony introduced earlier this month in order to introduce players to the new world of Norse mythology that players will encounter when God of War launches next year. The videos are accompanied by podcasts that delve more into the characters that they reveal, and this one is no different. You can listen to the second episode of the podcast, where the team goes a bit more in depth on the Draugr and its role in ancient Norse mythology, below:
God of War is currently slated for released sometime in early 2018 for the PlayStation 4.
