With Kratos’ vicious past, you wouldn’t expect aGod of War RagnarokLo-Fi video to surface. However, PlayStation and a few musicians, including Alex Moukala, have released such a thing, and it’s relaxing AF.
Chilling out with Atreus
Atreus, in this video published Thursday, takes the place of the kid studying. As the chill music is playing, he’s writing in his journal. The Lo-Fi beats in the background are from popular musician and composerAlex MoukalaandPokari.
“Earlier this year, Sony asked me to create someGod of War: RagnarokLo-Fi remixes for them,” Moukala onsocial media. “As a massive Bear McCreary fan I was overjoyed and simply couldn’t say no!” The composer later said “the whole process made [him] appreciateGod of War‘s soundtrack even more than [he] already did.”
The three McCreary songs both Moukala and Polari remixed are: “Huldra Brothers,” “Memories of Mother,” and theGod of War Ragnaröktheme. They sound fantastic and are currently powering me through this news story. The animation is also expressive and slightly changes over the span of the 32-minute video. It was drawn and animated by Spud Gun Studios.
Moukala has been busy over the past few years. He’s behind the soundtrack for the fan-basedFinal Fantasy IX: Memoria Projectand interviewed theYakuzagame composers on hisYouTube channel. In the past, he’s also turned the macabreBloodbornemusic into a dazzlingMario Karttrack.
God of War: Ragnarokcelebrates its one-year anniversary this week. When it was first released, it received critical praise across the board.
“God of War Ragnarokis a fantastic showcase of what this series has to offer, and a sterling example of how it still has life left in it,” saidour review. “While not everything lands with the sequel from a story perspective, the core of the original is preserved, with some new twists and turns still to go.”
