The trailer is a callback to the classic celebrity-filled ads to plug upcoming huge games. Kratos, oops, we mean Ben Stiller, even helps LeBron James have a “LeBreakthrough” with his future NBA hooper, Bronny. Stiller and Travolta hilariously connect on laying in bed wide awake at night thinking about Kratos leading to Travolta’s daughter accusing him of “being too thirsty.” When that clicked for me, I picked up my Leviathan Axe, and felt truly close to my son for the very first time.” The actor/comedian is in full Kratos cosplay, telling Travolta and James, “The God of War dynamic plays out in every parent-child relationship. To celebrate the game’s upcoming release, PlayStation dropped a new gameplay trailer, “All Parents Can Relate,” starring comedian Ben Stiller and his son, LeBron and Bronny James, and John Travolta and his daughter.īen Stiller is the star of the trailer/commercial. I’ll pick up a copy when it comes out and have my own thoughts here on this blog.Despite leaks, the hype for God of War: Ragnarok is still high as fans o the iconic PlayStation video game franchise are ready to continue Kratos and Atreus’ adventure that began in 2018’s damn-near perfect God of War. Paul Tassi has already written a preview of the game up ( here) and will be penning the official review for Forbes. Play games with your kids! It’s great fun! And really, this is a great game for dads to play. You don’t get to see much of the actual game, but there are plenty of other trailers for that. It’s a funny ad that should generate some buzz-which, of course, is the point. There’s a framed painting of Kratos and Atreus up on the wall behind them. “Leviathan Axe,” Travolta mutters to himself, jotting down a note in his journal. “I’m seventeen,” his son replies, irritated. “When that clicked for me, I picked up my Leviathan Axe and felt truly close to my son for the first time.” “The God Of War dynamic plays out in every parent/child relationship,” Stiller says at one point. John Travolta is adorable, that’s all there is to it.

When he mentions that last night, at 2am, he was up thinking about Kratos, Travolta jumps in “Are you kidding? That’s me! Big time!” His daughter leans in and says “Too thirsty” to which he replies that no, he’s hydrated. Of the three dads, LeBron is the least onboard with this whole Kratos dad therapy, looking almost as confused as the youths, while Stiller-bedecked in leathers and furs face painted red-is much more on Travolta’s level: Eager, excited to be there, happy to share.
