An ardent follower of the God of War saga has elevated their devotion to the next level by introducing the protagonist, Kratos, as a custom combatant in EA Sports UFC 3. Kratos, known as the Ghost of Sparta, is an immensely popular and iconic figure in video games, prompting numerous fans to integrate him into various gaming realms. Developers seem to have recognized this trend, enabling customization options allowing players to embody Kratos.
The release of EA Sports UFC 3 in 2018 was met with positive reception, and over time, the franchise has evolved significantly. The most recent installment, EA Sports UFC 5, launched in October 2023 and swiftly earned accolades as one of the standout titles in the series. For enthusiasts seeking a robust MMA simulation, any of the EA Sports-developed UFC games would suffice, particularly for those eager to assume the roles of renowned fighters in the sport – a possible reason why this fan is still engaged with a title nearly six years old.
Sharing their creation on r/GodofWar, Redditor LegalTv_Abdallah unveiled their rendition of Kratos within the custom fighter feature of EA Sports UFC 3. The tailored version portrays a character resembling Kratos with a Latin appearance, notably sporting the trademark bald head and red markings. While lacking Kratos' distinctive pale complexion and exaggerated muscular physique, attributes less conducive to MMA combat, some users have drawn parallels between this creation and the popular fighter Nate Diaz, appreciating the effort to integrate Kratos into the game.

The God of War community is currently abuzz with speculation about the series' future, given the two-year gap since the last installment, Ragnarok, and the recent release of the Valhalla free DLC by Santa Monica Studio in November 2023. Enthusiasts are divided between desiring a semi-sequel, a remake of the original trilogy, or a PC port for non-PS5 users. There is palpable excitement that the franchise may unveil something new soon.
Concurrently, gaming enthusiasts with a penchant for MMA are reveling in the abundance of riches offered by EA Sports UFC 5, featuring a roster brimming with contemporary stars. The game even includes legendary pugilists like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, making it essential for fight aficionados in the absence of a prominent professional boxing title. With regular additions of new fighters through free DLC updates, dedicated followers have ample reasons to remain engrossed until the next iteration hits the market.
