Heroism in God Of War

If you’re looking forward to the upcoming release of God Of War: Ragnarok, here’s some news for you.

The Games and Gaming Lab at the University of Glasgow are currently uploading videos from all the panels at the Digital Heroisms symposium. In the latest upload (Panel 4: Disruptive Digital Heroes), you can hear me speaking about how Kratos and Atreus found new ways to be heroes in God Of War in my talk ‘Breaking the Protection Stave: God of War as Critique of the Heroic Magic Circle’. For the full panel video, check out the link below.

In other news, last week I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Darshana Jayemanne and Cameron Kunzelman about representing gaming in prose for their upcoming Video Games special issue of Science Fiction Film and Television Journal. More on that soon!
