God of War mocap actor used an axe and fake dismembered arm to land Kratos role
Eric Jacobus really channeled their inner Kratos during the auditi𒁏on process

God of War mocap performer Eric Jacobus has uploaded the demo reel they sent to Santa Monic🌄a Studio when auditio🎐ning for the role of Kratos, and it features an axe and a fake dismembered arm.
As pointed out by , the stuntman recently uploaded a video, originally filmed back in 2016, to their official , which was sent to the God♑ of War (2018) team at Santa Monica Studio dur📖ing the auditioning process for Kratos.
If you weren’t aware, Jacobus provided the motion capture performance for the greeಌk god whilst Christopher Judge provided Kratos’ bellowing voice. Both actors would have had to audition for their roles, though we bet that Jacobus’ probably looked a little different from Judge’s. You can see for yourself below.
According to the actor, the God of War team saw Jacobus '' video series and asked them to come and audition for the action-adventure game. To "sweeten the deal" with Santa Monica Studio, Jacobus filmed a movelist video for the character which sees the performer demonstrate a range of moves that Kratos could pull off in the game. What we didn’t expect to see, though, is Jacobus 🐎start throwing an axe around and incorporating a fake dismembered arm in the video.
This was exactly what Santa Monica Studio wanted to see, though, as we now know that Jacobus got the job and was partly responsible for bringing Kratos to life. If you enjoyed Jacobus's performance in God of War (2018), we have some good news. As confirmed on , the stuntman has returned for the game’s sequel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War Ragnarok - which is due t❀o release on November 9, 2022.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of t෴raining. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, ဣand The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
