Summary: <p>New Episodes every Friday at 11pm AEST.</p><br> <p>‘The Herald Of The World Serpent…The Ghost-White Ragnarok Incarnate, </p><br> <p>His Very Form Foretelling Our Doom…Will Rise, To Face The Son Of Thunder.’</p><br> <p>‘Greetings everyone, and welcome to Episode 1 of God Of War Podcast,</p><br> <p>appropriately titled ‘A New Beginning’ - we are, after all, starting our own journey right alongside God Of War itself, where we’ll be dissecting, discussing and debating every aspect of this new title in a long-form/in-depth weekly format, having the odd interview or two, and lastly we feature a section at the end of each week’s episode that’s entirely devoted to parsing out, making deductions from, and imagining the potential connections that might exist between Norse Lore and God Of War.</p><br> <p>Albert is joined this week (the first, as I can now confirm, of many future episodes with the guy) by the unequalled analyst, consummate theorist, pre-eminent Norse Lore/God Of War scholar and fast friend, Cygnus (also known as Ilyas), </p><br> <p>To discuss this past week in news, exchange ideas, swap speculations, and offer up predictions on plot, gameplay, mechanics and much, much more. </p><br> <p>Cygnus expands on his Hathor-as-Atreus’ mother theory, and Albert posits that Jörmungandr’s pale scales and Kratos’ ghost-white skin are no coincidence - could their allegiance have long been fated? Has the rejected albino god-child serpent finally found his chosen enforcer to fulfil his one earthly desire:</p><br> <p>To slay the God of Thunder, Thor himself?</p><br> <p>It is true that Sindri and Brokk, the dwarven Huldra Brothers, forged the Axe Leviathan precisely to be a foil for Mjolnir…could their respective bears be all but destined to clash before this Norse odyssey closes?
