After the monumental success of God of War (2018), anticipation is high for the sequel God of War: Ragnarok, which Santa Monica plans to release in 2022. Gamers were left with plenty of unanswered questions, and a lot of mystery remains regarding Freya's plans, Atreus' future, the role of the Jotnar, and the significance of the upcoming apocalyptic events of Ragnarok. One of the most interesting questions concerns Odin and his place in God of War: Ragnarok.

Odin never makes an appearance in 2018's God of War, but he is mentioned often, and players are given the impression that he is more villainous than heroic. However, there is reason to believe that God of War: Ragnarok's Odin could be far more complicated, proving himself to be more virtuous than first impressions suggest — especially when one considers Odin's mythological roots and his voice actor.

Why God of War: Ragnarok Has to Feature Fenrir

Although most of God of War: Ragnarok remains a mystery, Santa Monica Studio has revealed just enough information to whet gamers' appetites. Players have been informed that Kratos and his son, Atreus, will be teaming up to stop the arrival of Ragnarok, which threatens to bring about the end times. Along the way, they will face many dangers, including Freya and Thor hellbent on seeking revenge against Kratos.

Character actors and actresses have been revealed, and the majority of them will not come as a surprise. Christopher Judge reprises his role as Kratos, and other performers that will be returning to their previous roles include Sunny Suljic as Atreus, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, and Danielle Bisutti as Freya. Several new performers will be joining the God of War team, including Richard Schiff as Odin.
