The marketing for God of War: Ragnarok is ramping up ahead of next week’s release, and the latest trailer features appearances from three big celebrity names.
In the new “All Parents Can Relate” video (which you can watch above!), Ben Stiller, LeBron James, and John Travolta are all attending a counseling session with their kids. Stiller steals the show, dressed up just like God of War’s Kratos, saying “The God of War dynamic plays out in every parent-child relationship. When that clicked for me, I picked up my Leviathan Axe, and felt truly close to my son for the very first time.”
Stiller and Travolta bond over the fact that they lay in bed awake at night thinking about Kratos, causing Travolta’s daughter to lean in and tell her dad he’s “being too thirsty” for the God of War. Other highlights include Stiller helping LeBron and his son reach a “LeBreakthrough” in their relationship, and Travolta’s daughter bluntly telling her dad “you’re old and you’re bald.” Many viewers in the YouTube comments are now clamoring for a Ben Stiller DLC skin for Kratos in God of War Ragnarok.
If you’re as obsessed with Kratos as Ben Stiller apparently is, you’re in luck, as we’re just over a week out from the release of God of War Ragnarok. While you wait over the next week, check out our God of War impressions and our spoiler-free Ragnarok Q&A. Plus, you can figure out what performance settings you want to try out first. Just be careful, because Ragnarok spoilers are already out there on the internet.
