Become Kratos it is not an easy task. We are not talking about the characterization or the recording of the voices, but the movements that the character is able to perform on the screen … unless you are called Eric Jacobus.
The stuntman was in fact Kratos’ stunt double in God of Warthe reboot released by Sony Santa Monica in 2018, and even thought of some movements that were eventually incorporated during development.
It was the year 2016 and Santa Monica needed a specialist to capture Kratos’ moves, attacks and combos in the new game. After seeing the Tekken IRL videos, Santa Monica reps contacted Eric Jacobus. Known for recreating Mortal Kombat or Tekken combos, the specialist got to work. Playing Kratos is not easy at all, but fortunately he succeeded in the feat. And now, years later, we can see what the presentation Jacobus sent to Santa Monica looked like.
Sony Santa Monica is now working on the sequel, God of War Ragnarokwhich will be released on November 9 this year on PS4 and PS5.
