“Terrifying” God of War Mod Sees Thomas the Tank Engine Faces Off Against Kratos

With the introduction of the God of War franchise on PC, talented modders and their creation have received major spotlight. The PC port of the PS4 classic (2018) was released in January 2022. God of War’s PC port received critical acclaim and huge validation from fans all over the world.

In addition to the improvements in graphics, God of War PC also allows modding but doesn’t have official mod support. Within a few days of the port’s release, fans jumped right into the modding scenes, leading to a host of custom GoW experiences that all could behold.

In fact, one of such creative mod examples is a recent one that happens to bring a beloved animated character to God of War.

Omega Fantasy, a well-known modder for GoW has created the ‘Thomas The Tank Engine’ mod, that features Kratos and Atreus venturing across the ocean, only to run into the massive Thomas in the midst of nowhere.

As fans know, Kratos yields a Leviathan Axe as his signature weapon. In a scene from the mod, Kratos throws his axe into the ocean. However, the axe doesn’t return to him even after he recalls it. As Kratos exclaims the same, a sudden tidal wave almost knocks him and his son over.

As they looked on, a huge structure rose from the ocean. “It’s the world serpent!” Atreus exclaims. Slowly, Thomas, The Tank Engine reveals itself and returns the axe to Kratos, like Jörmungandr returns Kratos his axe in the original God of War tale.

You can watch the video of the mod below!

God of War’s player base houses a lot of talents, including Omega Fantasy, who has created several mods for the game. In fact, most of the videos on his YouTube channel are attributed to GoW mods that he made. You can check out his videos here.

As expected, fans had some notable reactions to Thomas in GoW.

Too many GoW mods these days.

One for the other.

Is modding supported in the game officially?

PlayStation Santa Monica had revealed their reluctance to add official mod support due to the complexity of doing so with custom tools in the picture. However, prominent GoW team members, Cory Barlog and Matt DeWald, mentioned how they are eager to see the community recreate GoW’s tale like they always have.
