God Of War Officially Returns 2027 With New Release Starring Thor

Published Jul 25, 2026, 12:00 AM EDT Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there. Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. First teased in 2018's God of War before becoming a key figure in its sequel, God of War: Ragnarök, the Santa Monica franchise put a unique spin on the God of Thunder, Thor. With many of us used to seeing the mythological figure taking on the form of Chris Hemsworth, it was Ragnarök's interpretation that was a lot closer to the original descriptions of the formidable figure. Thanks to this, and his performance by Ryan Hurst, Thor has become one of the most iconic characters in gaming history. Not only that, but whilst his story may have come to an end in God of War: Ragnarök, fans have not seen the last of him as the beloved character is set to make a return in January 2027. Courtesy of Prime 1 Studio, fans of Santa Monica's interpretation of Thor can look forward to a brand-new figure showcasing the God of Thunder in all his glory. The catch is that it comes alongside an eye-watering price tag, but if you are an avid collector and are not afraid to splash the cash, this would make the perfect addition to your shelves. As part of Prime 1 Studio's Real Elite Masterline, the "Thor DX Bonus Version" figure is a lesson in detail with the lifelike figure, capturing the formidable god himself and not only that, but players will be able to customize it to their liking. Brought to life in 1/3 scale, Thor DX Bonus Version showcases a destructive force bound by an inescapable bloodline, and here is what the official product description reads: "This 1/3 scale statue brings to life the essence of Thor—a destroyer burdened by sorrow—through strikingly realistic sculpture. His piercing eyes, the scar trailing under one, and tattoos brimming with mystic power evoke his mythical presence. His bearded face, partially shadowed by disheveled hair, is meticulously crafted to capture a brooding expression. From the bulging torso atop layers of thick muscle to the powerful limbs shaped like tree trunks, every inch is carved with deep-set wrinkles and rugged skin textures that speak of a long and weary path. The leather armor and belts are adorned with traditional patterns, while the weathered metal embellishments have been painstakingly recreated. Even Mjölnir, the symbol of his wrath, combines a brutal silhouette with delicate detailing—a piece of both destruction and mystique." Available to pre-order now, this God of War: Ragnarök figure comes alongside two separate products: the Regular Version and Deluxe Bonus Version, costing $1,599 and $1,999 respectively. As I said, it comes alongside an eye-watering price. However, if you are interested in the Deluxe Version, this is what it includes: God of War: Ragnarok Themed Base Two (2) Swappable Heads (Serious, Angry) Three (3) Swappable Left Arms (Mjölnir Down, Raised, Recall) Fabric cloak (removable) Head Stand LED Light-Up Features (angry eyes, Left-arm Mjölnir, summoning effect) Display model of Mjolnir [BONUS PART] LED Power Supply Method: TBA * Please prepare batteries, USB cables, or other necessary items depending on the final power supply method. Set to begin shipping in January 2027, the God of War: Ragnarök-inspired figure is now available to pre-order, and whilst it may come alongside a steep price tag, it will make a stunning addition to any fan's collection.
