Drawing free inspiration from Norse mythology, God of War of 2018 presents references to stories and characters of the pre-Christian tradition typical of peoples from Scandinavia. Among the many prominent figures proposed as antagonists, we also find Magni and Modi: who exactly are these two fearsome opponents of Kratos?
Warning, God of War plot spoilers follow. The brothers in question, whose names mean respectively “Strong” and “Brave”, are none other than the two sons of Thor, one of the main Germanic deities and personification of thunder and storms.
Despite the bad end made in the video game, the verses of the ancient Edda (which we remember being the most important source of information about it) cite Magni and Modi as survivors of the events of Ragnarök, the series of catastrophes that will be the background to the next chapter of the series due out by the end of 2022.
Speaking of the developing sequel, in which players will take part in the showdown between Order and Chaos, have you read Santa Monica’s response to rumors about the postponement of God of War Ragnarok?
