When Sports Meets Mythology: LeBron James Channels God of War for Epic God of War Ragnarok Celebration
James is thrilled with God of War Ragnarok’s incredible success. The highly anticipated PlayStation game was released earlier this month, five years after it was first announced. It was formally announced shortly before the release of the PlayStation 5 in 2020, allowing Sony plenty of time to drum up excitement, even if it wasn’t completely necessary. Fans were already anticipating this game after the last one’s amazing success, so when Sony stayed silent for over a year and then repeated that silence prior to the game’s release in 2022, they were extremely baffled. Many people were so thirsty for news that any extended period without it made them frightened that the game would end in disaster.

God of War Ragnarok has received widespread critical praise, multiple award nominations, and is the fastest-selling PlayStation exclusive of all time. Sony was overjoyed with the game’s success in its first week, with over 5.1 million copies sold, and one more key figure is joining in the celebrations. LeBron James, dressed as Kratos, took to Twitter to celebrate the success of God of War Ragnarok. In a recent God of War: Ragnarok advertisement, the NBA sensation appeared alongside John Trevolta and Ben Stiller. The three celebrities participated in group therapy with their children, mirroring the difficulties Kratos encounters with his son Atrues. The amusing advertisement received a lot of attention, and it appears that LeBron James may be a fan of the series after all.

Aside than that, LeBron James has not commented on the game, but it is great to see a major superstar supporting one of the most important games of 2022. It is unclear which trophy Sony will take home from The Game Awards the next week. Furthermore, the release date for the upcoming God of War installment is unknown; nonetheless, it looks Sony Santa Monica will proceed cautiously once more.
