God of War: Call him John Kratos! The absurd mistake unleashes the Hilarity of The Web

When does God of War Ragnarok come out? Will Kratos be able to prevent the end of the Norse world? But above all, why was he renamed John Kratos? The first two questions are still unanswered, while the third hides a really funny story.

For some odd reason, a PlayStation marketing executive dubbed the angriest Spartan ever, and one of the most famous characters in entertainment history, “John Kratos”. The mistake, which appeared in a promotional email sent on May 4 to some of the major Anglo-Saxon newspapers, did not go unnoticed by Keza MacDonald of the Guardian, who thought of sharing a screenshot of the blunder on Twitter: “I receive LOTS of emails from various marketing people who clearly know nothing about video games, trying to sell me products or stories. Most of them are boring, but today I just can’t ignore “John Kratos”.

We don’t know who the author is, nor how he got confused. Among other things, John doesn’t really seem like a popular name in Ancient Greece. In any case, the web has once again responded present, generating several pearls of hilarity, starting from the same social managers of PlayStation UK, who could not help but joke about it. Not only did they “confirm” that John Kratos is canon, but they also added that Jörmungandr’s real name, the World Serpent, is Colin!

One player imagined John Kratos with a mustache, as if he were the protagonist of Magnum PI, while another immediately thought of an equally famous John, that is Master Chief, whose real name is John-117: you can therefore admire them in the screenshot in this news as they high five on Fortnite’s Battle Royale island. However, the definitive mash-up was created by a certain Steward, who took a Master Chief toy and reassembled it with Kratos’ head and Leviathan … The web can be a wonderful place sometimes!
