The newest entry in the God of War series, God of War Ragnarok, has been one of the most anticipated video games of the year. And since the God of War game never disappoints, there was little doubt Ragnarok will fly off the shelves when it comes out on November 9.
However, Sony still wanted to be sure, so they dropped a hugely entertaining trailer that features Ben Stiller dressed in a Kratos costume and giving parenting advice to LeBron James and John Travolta.
For those unfamiliar with God of War Ragnarok, the game focuses on the series protagonist Kratos and his teenage son Atreus and follows them during the “end of days” event known as Ragnarok. The player controls Kratos, while Atreus is controlled by the computer.
The trailer, titled “All Parents Can Relate,” showcases a support group of famous parents who want to have a better relationship with their kids by following the example of Kratos and Atreus. The meeting is attended by Stiller and his son Quinn, Travolta and his daughter Ella, and James and his son Bronny.
“The God of War dynamic plays out in every parent-child relationship,” Stiller, dressed as Kratos, points out at the beginning of the trailer.
The parents proceed to have several heart-to-heart moments and bond over the game, but their kids are not so enthusiastic about the whole thing. Bronny even says at one point that he would be rather at a practice, while Ella tells her father he’s “old and bald”.
If you are a God of War fan, you will definitely enjoy this trailer. But even if you are not, it is worth checking out. Watch the whole thing in the video below.
