Want to play as Kratos in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Of course you do.

In 2018, God of War went to the frozen tundras of the Northlands to escape from the usual blood and tyranny found in and around Greece. Was it a good move? Did it let Kratos bond with his new son and form a lasting relationship that would withstand the test of time? Well, you’d have to have played the God of War reboot to find out. No spoilers here.

What we do know is that 2018’s God of War was so great that it’s widely considered to be the best PS4 game you could ever own. It basically swept all of gaming’s awards in 2018, including multiple wins at the 2018 DICE, BAFTA, and Golden Joystick awards. It also took home Game of the Year at the 2018 Game Awards and even won the Outstanding Achievement in Video Game Writing award from the Writers Guild of America.

All those awards definitely translated to sales, with 10 million copies sold by May of 2019.

God of War is so popular that it was spun off from being a mere video game, with products ranging from a tabletop card game to a children’s storybook (although still relatively violent for young readers).

And now, Kratos can be found vacationing on a small sub-tropical island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

No, he’s not a villager, and he’s not an anthropomorphized animal creature that likes to tell you about his day and hand over presents, even though we really wish he was. It’s just a bunch of custom costumes that let you look like Kratos, but that’s still pretty cool, right?

First up is 2018’s Kratos. This full bodysuit from Twitter user @VektorJack mimics the modern Kratos perfectly, right down the wristbands and angry Viking-style skirt. Note Kratos’ expression, which is also on-point.

Next, we have Twitter user @JubeLaw with both a 2018 Kratos and a God of War 3 version of Kratos with Golden Fleece and chained blades. They’re both just tops, so these are more casual costume options than full-blown Animal Crossing cosplay.

Finally, we have @RLecuivre with another Kratos from 2018’s God of War. Note the six-pack abs and the detailed leatherwork.

Now go terrify your residents while wielding an ax and calling out “boy” every thirty seconds.
