"My Fandom Collab Challenge. - Will it take off?"
I wanted to make this post to commemorate to very special video game franchises. Those being "God of War" and "Devil May Cry". These two juggernauts of the video game industry share a place in the hearts of gamers everywhere for different reasons.
Devil May Cry was the great innovator of the Hack n Slash genre in its time and God of War was one of the few Hack n Slash games born in the wack of a post Devil May Cry world to branch out and become a genre defining juggernaut of its own. As you can see, these two franchises go way back and they are still here with us now. By next year, the Devil May Cry franchise will have become 20 years old while the God of War franchise pushes on to 16.
Seeing both of these epic games and characters return to dominate the latter half of the last decade was a pleasure to watch. And seeing both games return in their own way yesterday to even treading on here was a treat for the eyes. I think that this is cause for a type of early celebration. To pay our respects to both of these titans of the video game industry.

And so, I came up with this idea...
How's about we have ourselves a little fandom collab, much like Animal Crossing and Doom earlier this year. I was thinking of proposing a challenge where we all do something to show our appreciation for these franchises whether it be: fan art/ fan works, blogs, showing off collections, etc.
And then we all tag it with the phrase #DevilMayCryxGodofWar or #DMCxGoW or something along those lines.

I don't know about you all, but ever since the release of God of War 4 in 2018 and Devil May Cry V in 2019, I have for the longest time been wanting to see some awesome fanart of both Dante from Devil May Cry V and Kratos from God of War 4 respectively sitting down and having drinks together as rivals, but also great friends. I think that that would be perfect. Can we make it happen?
Only time will tell if this will take off or not. So spread the word everyone.
