God of War will soon finally be getting a new mainline game for the first time since 2022. And while fans have every reason to be excited about the upcoming God of War Laufey, which is set to release on PlayStation 5 in February 2027, there’s another release coming next year for anyone specifically missing the franchise’s mascot, Kratos.
God of War Laufey looks like it could be one of the greatest games in the series yet, but it’s controversially focusing on Kratos’ eponymous wife, rather than the 2000s action icon himself. This is where Prime 1 Studio, and their new $1,549 Kratos release, come in.
God of War Ragnarök’s Kratos Is Back With a New Statue
Kratos is one of the most popular characters in gaming history and, in particular, one of Sony’s biggest mascots. Fans have played and gone on epic, mythological adventures with the hyper-violent god-slayer since 2005’s God of War, and have seen him develop into an older, more mature figure in 2018’s God of War and 2022’s God of War Ragnarök.
Kratos is no stranger to receiving high-end merchandise, but Prime 1 Studio has recently announced one of the coolest, and most expensive, statues ever crafted in his image. A part of their “Throne Legacy” collection, “Master Thyself Kratos Bonus Version” is now available for preorder for $1,549 USD.
“Facing the end of the world and journeying across the vast Nine Realms, “God of War Ragnarök” stands as one of the series’ defining milestones,” the official description on Prime 1 Studio’s website reads. “From this action-adventure comes Master Thyself Kratos, joining the Throne Legacy lineup.”
“After waging war against the Norse gods and seeing Atreus off on his path, Kratos turns to face his past in the DLC “God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla”. This statue is inspired by a moment from that story. Having accepted his own sins and bridged his past and present, the God of War of the Nine Realms appears upon the throne in 1/3 scale—an embodiment of self-mastery realized in a format made to pursue the fullest depth of three-dimensional expression.”
“A face framed by deep lines and a full beard carries the dignity of a warrior seasoned by the subtleties of life,” the description continues. “Countless old scars across his skin are rendered with painstaking paintwork, capturing rough textures and profound shadows. Leather and iron armor, along with the runic patterns carved into the stone throne, evoke the rugged world of Norse myth.”
“At his side sits his ally Mimir, reproduced with lifelike detail down to his curled beard. The light shining from both eyes via the built-in LED brings focus to the path Kratos sets his gaze upon.”
An exclusive bonus for fans who purchase the “Bonus” version of this statue is a display stand for the fully upgraded Blades of Chaos. The statue itself is 1/3 Scale, and orders are set to be shipped to buyers between May and August 2027.
