Kratos Voice Actor Christopher Judge Says God of War Ragnarok Was Delayed Because of His Medical Issues

Kratos voice actor, Christopher Judge, has revealed that Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment had to delay God of War Ragnarok because of his medical issues.

Judge told fans on Twitter that in August of 2019, he couldn’t walk and ended up needing to have both hips replaced along with back surgery and knee surgery. Santa Monica Studio waited for him to finish rehabilitation before continuing development. In June this year, Cory Barlog took responsibility for the delay after writer Alanah Pearce started receiving vile messages from internet trolls.

Judge wrote:

In my feels right now. I need to be forthcoming. This has been approved by no one. To the beloved fandom, Ragnarok was delayed because of me. August 2019, I couldn’t walk. Had to have back surgery, both hips replaced, and, knee surgery. They waited for me too rehab…

No threats, no ‘who do you think you are?’ Nothing but love and support. And Sony Santa Monica has never said a word about the delay, and what caused it. Studios are assholes, but this company from top to bottom, should give us hope. What they did for the crew is way more…

Judge went on to thank Santa Monica Studio as well as the fans. He praised the development team for showing him love and support through the process.

In one tweet, Judge revealed that he quit the role when he found out that Barlog wasn’t directing the sequel. However, Barlog convinced him to stay by asking Judge to trust Ragnarok director Eric Williams. Judge now has nothing but praises to sing.

“He said Eric is a beast,” Judge recalled. “I said, ‘he better be.’ Update: Eric Williams is a mother f****** beast!”

God of War Ragnarok will release sometime in 2022.
