If you’ve played the majority of God of War Ragnarok, chances are you’ve encountered one of its antagonists in Heimdall. If you hated the character the moment he started talking, you’re probably not alone, and Santa Monica Studio has designed Heimdall to exactly be just that.

Speaking about the development of the game, game director Eric Williams mentioned that they developed Heimdall as an amalgamation of everything people don’t like about people, and how they made it so that the character has the “most punchable face you’ve ever seen.”

He’s an amalgamation of everything people don’t like about people. But there’s a reason behind it. He can read people’s intentions. Imagine what that would do to you. You could actually read why they don’t like you. And you would just be disgusted by it. He’s just a jerk; we gave him the most punchable face you’ve ever seen.

Given how annoying Heimdall is in the game, I’d say Santa Monica Studio nailed the character. Mind, it’s not his face that’s annoying, but his overall demeanor and attitude as well.

In other God of War news, Amazon is developing a TV series based on the hit franchise.
