The modder "whitewashed" dark-skinned Angrboda from God of War Ragnarok, but the files did not last even an hour on NexusMods
September 19, the long-awaited release of the PC version of the game God of War Ragnarok took place and many fans of the Kratos universe were waiting in anticipation for the correction of some inaccuracies of the developers that could not be corrected on console platforms, to which even then in 2022 there were complaints from players at the time of release project on PlayStation.
Just a few days later, an enthusiast under the nickname Comic Fan shared concepts and unfinished files for the dark-skinned heroine of God of War Ragnarok with white skin, in order to bring her closer to the description from German-Scandinavian mythology. But just an hour later, the alternative version of Angbroda was deleted by NexusMods moderators without explanation.
The author himself did not despair and decided to post his vision of the heroine on another resource called Gamebanana, but in the end his work suffered the same fate, and portal moderators called the 3D modeler’s work “discrimination” and "trolling".
Comic Fan also explained:
The appearance of Angrboda in mythology was described as a giantess with beautiful red hair, and the skin color of the Jotuns is listed as light blue, but no less, in the works and visual arts of such northern countries as Denmark and Norway, in most cases she is shown as a red-haired girl with snow-white skin.
Perhaps this was partly trolling, since the mod was not finished at the moment it cannot even be installed into the game, but nevertheless a large number of players expressed that they are waiting for the release of the final version.
