God of War developer Santa Monica Studio has responded to a social media post from Domino’s Pizza after the pizza chain’s UK account joked about the newly announced God of War: Laufey for being a God of War game without Kratos.
The post from Domino’s Pizza UK said, “God of War game with no Kratos = Pepperoni Passion with no pepperoni.” The Domino’s Pizza UK post was criticized for making fun of the game just because it doesn’t feature Kratos, with many replies pointing out the reports of how poorly Domino’s is known to treat its workers and how mediocre at best its pizza is.
Santa Monica Studio responded by saying, “ok thanks for the feedback, dominos pizza corporate account.”
The Domino’s Pizza UK account is known for its spicy posts, and this was just the latest example as the account purposefully posting something hyperbolic and weird to garner attention. It worked, but now people are dunking on Domino’s even more than before.
God of War: Laufey tells the story of Fey, the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus. She died, but lives on in the afterlife of the gods–the Everywhen. The events of the new game are happening concurrently with the story from the 2018 God of War. The game also involves a gelatinous cube played by Jack Quaid.
Kratos is a beloved character, but Santa Monica Studio wanted to mix things up and tell a story from a different perspective with Laufey before possibly returning to a Kratos-focused story in the future.
