* FollowTheLeader: While having the game set in Myth/NorseMythology was one of the many ideas tossed around all the way back in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'', there's no doubt that the Norse Pantheon's popularity in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse is what gave the devs enough confidence to go forward with it.
