actor's voice Sunny Soljic The person playing the character "Atris" in God of War Ragnarok changed throughout the game's production, which led the developer to go back to the game's audio files and replay them to fit the character and the events of the story.

During the recording of the voices of the game's characters, the Corona pandemic caused an extension of the recording period, which continued intermittently, which caused a change in the voice of Soljic, the interpreter of Atreus, contrary to the voice approved for the character in the game.

Atreus's character, Sunny, is a teenager whose voice changed drastically over the years working on this title. We had to replicate this performance to make it sound like it happened in a short period of time. This was a unique challenge.

Ariel Angelotti, production director of God of War Ragnarok, said that the biggest challenge they faced during the Corona pandemic was maintaining the course of the story, which they didn't want to lose, adding that there are many characters that are still present in the new game, but some small adjustments have been made to it.

Angelotti added that some actors were forced to play more than one character in the game to avoid delays after pandemic restrictions were imposed at the time. One example was given of the actor playing the main character being forced to play another character who wasn't prominent in the game's background.

This video above will be part of a nine-episode series of behind-the-scenes videos about the game's development. One episode will be released every Tuesday for the next two months.
