Love him or loathe him, LeBron James is undeniably one of the greats of basketball. But as his spectacular career slowly winds down, he’s beginning to pop up, well, everywhere – including in AT&T commercials, movies like Space Jam: A New Legacy, and even in non-NBA 2K video games, like MultiVersus. And, he also starred alongside his son Bronny in a recent God of War Ragnarok advertisement.
It means that the four-time NBA champion has a vested interest in the game’s success, and he was pretty stoked to see that the release has broken records in a recent tweet. If you missed the news, the Santa Monica Studio sequel sold 5.1 million copies through its launch week, which set a new first-party record for PS Studios. It’s probably safe to assume this one’s going to continue selling, too!

I could see it passing 10 million by the end of the year easily.
Are we getting a LeBron James' skin for the next GoW?
But seriously, appearances in Multiverse too? This man is like the dust, just everywhere you look.
@avatarian I can't stand him.
Going to top 20 million when it releases on PC. I can already see the mods of kratos dressed like Santa Claus and Atreus as an elf. Than the sley being pulled by reindeer lol
@brazzios_84 You and me, both. Hard to get much worse.
@brazzios_84 That's a shame, I hear he speaks very highly of you.
@FatalBubbles @brazzios_84 damn what he do to you
He's one of the worst humans alive today. Him being attached to this game makes me want to play it less. I'll happily wait for a significant price drop... spoilers be damned.
@theMEGAniggle He did nothing to them. It's just a hater's life.
Finished it last night. What a wonderul ride. Will be finishing the few missing quests and journal entries for the Platinum this weekend. Though I got wrecked by the final Beserker's final form and all his Bifrost attacks. It basically becomes 1 hit you die last 20% of his health. Brutal, but won't lower the difficulty.
Honestly tempted by a back-to-back playthrough of both games afterwards.
@TheArt I'm hoping the hate is basketball related because otherwise this comments section's shade towards him make no sense
LeBron James should bugger off.
@theMEGAniggle Where to start, his hypocrisy on racism, his support of CCP, giving up on Cleveland, proclaiming himself “King James” before he even played a game…..
@FatalBubbles The racism hypocrisy one is new - how did he do that?
Hmm CCP support. Do you like movies, sports or games? Because those industries all support the CCP. Seems like you should hate them too
You hate him because he gave up on Cleveland??? They won a ring because of him, grow up.
And lastly, grow up 😂
@theMEGAniggle 🤣👍
@theMEGAniggle I do hate most pro sports and Hollywood. They’re all mostly scum.
I also really hate when people like Lebron, speak endlessly on racism against black people, yet turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed in China against Uighur. Why would he do that you may ask? Because he makes a lot of money off them.
If we see devolving to “grow up” comments, this will be the last time I reply.
I can't stand that phrase, 'Let's go!'. It's soooooo American.
He's a race baiter unfortunately.
@FatalBubbles I gave you actual responses. If you're gonna get mad because I said you should grow up over you claiming he abandoned Cleveland (even though he won them a ring) or because he calls himself King Lebron, then I don't know what to tell you.
I hate to say but you commenting on a gaming website, with an Iron Man pfp does not really shout 'I hate Hollywood'
He does make money from China, as do all sportspeople. What now? It's terrible that many sportspeople and celebrities are basically gagged over speaking out about China amongst other things. See what happened to Ozil.
Cool.Michael Jordan is still the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑. Just like kratos 🐐 👑.haha its cool thats his about about the instant masterpiece god of war ragnarok.word up son
@Gamer_Guy
🤣
@Gamer_Guy oh, snap!

@ApostateMage
I would prefer if our best know phrase was “nuts” because there is a hilarious story involving American paratroopers and a very confused German officer during the Battle of Bastogne.
That ad was horrible.
@theMEGAniggle forget him , lucky this is pushsquare or else i would’ve went off on him
@theMEGAniggle no point trying to discuss anything with the wokeys bud as they cant accept any other view point than their own..oh and the irony of the iron man avatar didnt escape me either you just beat me to it 🤣
This entire page reminds me why I love video games and hate humanity.
@themightyant What difficulty level are you playing on, out of curiosity?
I tried playing on Normal for awhile, but kept dying against the bosses (story and optional) so I had to lower it to Story/Grace.
@KidBoruto I played on Normal (Give me Balance) but eventually beat both the King Berserker and the even tougher post-game boss without dropping difficulty. I was tempted, but glad I stuck with it. Did take me a few hours between the two of them. Tough but got the Plat now. Satisfying
@themightyant Congrats! I'm still early on in the story, too much RL responsibilities and work getting in the way.
I'd say where I am but don't want to spoiler any readers in the comments.
@KidBoruto good luck pal. I hear you on IRL stuff, sacrificed a lot of sleep to get through it. Finished the final super hard postgame boss about 4am one morning after a lot of strife… but it was worth it, was hooked. Enjoy.
@themightyant Hoping to still be able to beat it in time for Crisis Core: FF7 Reunion on December 13.
I can take my time wrapping up any loose ends and side quests later.
@KidBoruto Some of the side quests are really fantastic. The Crater is an entirely optional area but simply amazing.
@themightyant I look forward to hitting that area soon as I can!
