God Of War Ragnarök: This Might Be The Most Accurate Kratos Cosplay Ever

Kratos from God Of War Ragnarok has been brought to life with an incredibly accurate cosplay by a dedicated fan. The highly-acclaimed action-adventure sequel has been heavily anticipated since its predecessor’s release in 2018. Between the looming threat of Ragnarok and the mysterious nature of Kratos’ son Atreus, the upcoming sequel has a lot of narrative ground to cover.A well-known and talented cosplayer, Ben from Maul Cosplay, has created the most accurate portrayal of Kratos yet. Although God of War fans have turned to weightlifting while cosplaying Kratos in the past, Ben chose to create a muscle suit to catch every detail of the Spartan’s actual physique. Many have applauded Ben for their ability to capture the video game character’s form in reality with this impressively sculpted costume piece. In additional photos, Ben is seen wielding Kratos’ signature Leviathan Axe with a fittingly stoic stance. While the cosplay is done in partnership with Santa Monica Studio to hype the game’s launch, it is an impressive feat that Ben has worked long and hard to achieve.Related: Epic God Of War Ragnarök Kratos Cosplay Gets Shout Out From PlayStation

God Of War Ragnarök Cosplay Exemplifies Fan’s Dedication

Ben has fully encompassed Kratos’ design, fitting in an incredible amount of detail that would make the creators of the Official God of War Ragnarok Cosplay Guide proud. Iconic Kratos features such as his grey skin, red tattoos, and beard are key to bringing this character to life and are found in most God of War cosplays, including this one. However, small details like the silver plating along Kratos’ chest piece, intricate belt buckle, and red stitching are clearly present in Ben’s photos as well, and they add to its remarkable accuracy. Even the muscle suit adds to the overall ensemble, mimicking the actual veins, bulges, and scars found on the Spartan’s video game model, which a more natural approach would not be able to capture.

According to most reviews, God of War Ragnarok is a fantastic reimagining of the long-standing franchise. As a flagship title for PlayStation dating back to 2005, God of War has had plenty of time to build a fanbase. Even after departing from the mythological Greek world he grew famous for, fans have been eager to follow Kratos on his journey through Norse mythology. Cosplays like the one Ben has created are one of the many ways fans have shown their dedication to the series.

Although Ragnarok might seem like the end of an era for Kratos, it’ll be interesting to see what lies in store for the future of the franchise. This series has been able to capture fans’ attention for years, and no matter how old Kratos is in God of War Ragnarok, or in future games, there will always be a dedicated following to back him up regardless of which path he decides to take.
