The two Darons of Tuesday evening are doing very well on Youtube: with several million views each on the trailers of their new adventures, Link and Kratos have no worries for the future, their future successes are no doubt. For Zelda Tears of the Kingdom it will still have to wait until the beginning of next summer, but for God of War Ragnarok it will happen very quickly, since the game will be available on November 9 on PS4 and PS5.
4 million each on Youtube
As user Benji-sales pointed out on twitter, the trailers for the two games are currently neck and neck in popularity, with 4 million views on their official channels . Not only are the number of viewings very close, but the audience curves follow parallel paths, attesting to the power of these two flagship license manufacturers. A "coincidence" greeted friendly by Cory Barlog, dad of the new Kratos, on his twitter account.
2 pillars with many common points
Both games come from two huge licenses, real pillars for Nintendo and PlayStation. They are also two direct sequels to titles that have completely upended the established order of their heritage, with completely new gameplay proposals. For Zelda Breath of the Wild, it was total and absolute openness, with sandbox mechanics conducive to experimentation. For God of War (2018), it was a departure from the very square 3D beat them up with its fixed camera angles: a new point of view, for a game delivered in a single shot, for an epic adventure that will have marked the spirits. It's no wonder, then, to see these two monuments embracing similar trends on the video platform: they are clearly among the most anticipated games for the start of this new decade.
