Nearly five years after the release of 2018's God of War, composer Bear McCreary has finally released English translations for the game's main theme and the updated version used for God of War Ragnarok, and they're as sad as you'd expect.
McCreary outlined the making of the songs in a lengthy new blog post also featuring input from game director Eric Williams, narrative director Matt Sophos, score producer Keith Leary, music affairs manager Justin Fields, and translator Björn Thorarensen. McCreary says fans got "impressively close" with their own translations of the theme's Old Norse lyrics, but this is the first time we've heard them straight from the horse's mouth.
