"It was a very difficult time for me and my family. I could not concentrate. I needed something that motivated me to keep going. And that's how I discovered the world of God of War and started collecting, collecting, and collecting," Emmanuel explained.

"God of War was created with passion and I believe that when something is created with passion, the feeling is contagious."


Since then, he has amassed hundreds of items spanning from global versions of the game, soundtracks, swords, consoles, figurines and much more. 


To honour the anniversary of PlayStation’s God of War game and Emanuel's unwavering dedication, Santa Monica Studio, who after becoming aware of his collection, brought him to their studio where he met with the game’s development team, including their Creative Director and Writer, Cory Barlog. 


There, Phillip Robertson, official Guinness World Records adjudicator, presented the title certificate to a happily surprised Emanuel. 

"My father died in 2015 and since then, my life mission has been to put the surname Mojica on the top and make history. Breaking a Guinness World Records title is a way to make history with my family," Emanuel added.
