'God of War' PS4 News: Teaser Trailer Previews the Draugr, a Likely Enemy in the Game
The Draugr is an undead creature known in Norse mythology
Now that the "God of War" franchise has left behind the familiar settings inspired by Greek mythology and is embracing the elements of Norse mythology, it probably comes as no surprise that the new world is bringing about the introduction of new features.
The latest installment of the series that is set to make its way to the PlayStation 4 will present players with new environments to explore and interact with.
Explore deep enough and players can expect to run into some new enemies as well.
One new enemy type players may encounter in the upcoming game is of the undead variety.
Developers recently released a new teaser trailer for the game, and it highlights the enemy type known as the Draugr.
Examples of concept art included in the trailer previewed how the Draugr enemies will look inside the game.
The faces of the Draugr still resemble those that belong to normal humans somewhat, but it is clear that decay has set in. At times, the faces of the Draugr look more like tattered pieces of aged flesh barely hanging on to the bone.
Running into one of these undead beings seems like it can be a frightening experience in the "God of War" PS4 game, but players may have no choice other than to prepare themselves.
For those wondering why the undead beings are in the upcoming game, these are actual parts of Norse mythology, so the developers are not reaching here.
In a recent podcast, principal character artist Rafael Grassetti and principal animator Bruno Valazquez talked about how the move to a Norse setting had enabled them to pick new enemies for the upcoming game.
It sounds like the developers really are diving deep into Norse mythology as they create the new "God of War" PS4 game, and fans can look forward to seeing how it all comes together once it is released early next year.
