Weird Raft & Giant Sword Debut In New Thor Concept Art

Sega's upcoming Thor game is said to play a lot like Sony's God of War, only the protagonist wields an electrical hammer instead of fiery chains. He also says "verily" more than he should, and he may want to see a fashion consultant (the hat with wings look went out of style in the 90s). In two pieces of concept art released by Sega today, the God of War vibe hits you over the head with a...well...hammer.

The fiery lake is Surtur's forge, and the dock shows a wookiee raft and some kind of device that will probably only work if the player finds six glowing stones. The concept art looks great, and although Sega's track record with Marvel motion pictures is downright awful (Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk), I'm looking forward to seeing this game in action.
