In God of War Ragnarök, the relationship between Kratos and Atreus is the heart of what defines our story. Though they are our central family, there are many others across the Nine Realms that will also place their marks on how the events leading towards Ragnarök unfold. 

We’re very happy to announce a new collaborative partnership that will feature five immensely talented artists capture a selection of the most prominent relationships in the story with their unique styles in the God of War Ragnarök Family Portrait Series. 

Over the next five weeks, Santa Monica Studio will be releasing one of the portraits every Tuesday. 

Drew Merritt is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, California. Working across a variety of mediums, his style blends classic realism that capture the emotional nuance of the subjects. 

Drew has painted the heroes of our story, Kratos and Atreus, for his work – focusing on the core family of God of War Ragnarök. 

“The complexity of the storyline and characters is hands down what really wrapped me into this project. I’ve also always loved Norse mythology and try to tie it into my work as much as possible, which basically made this franchise a dream for me to work with.”
