The Ghost of Sparta Almost Served Up a Very Different Name Thanks to Domino's Pizza Jokes

One of gaming's most fearsome warriors avoided a pun-filled fate after developers relentlessly mocked a name that sounded too much like a pizza delivery service.

David Jaffe, the visionary director behind the original God of War trilogy, shared a surprising piece of gaming trivia regarding the naming of the series' protagonist. Before settling on Kratos, the development team at Santa Monica Studio had considered the name 'Dominus.' However, the moniker was quickly derailed by the staff, who couldn't stop making jokes comparing the name to the Domino's Pizza brand. Fearing that the character would be associated with pizza rather than power and vengeance, the studio pivoted to Kratos, ensuring the Spartan's legacy remained intimidating rather than appetizing.
