The first lesson you learn when reading about mythological gods is that a lot of them are self-centered jerks. God of War is basically an entire series about this fact, and God of War Laufey will be no different.
"They're all assholes," Sony Santa Monica's head of creative Cory Barlog told IGN of the gods you'll meet in the upcoming game. It's not just the towering Mongolian god of war and his violent Egyptian partner who we saw in the initial footage that will be a thorn in your side. Everyone with a divine past in the Everywhen, God of War Laufey's new setting, will be insufferable to be around.
