Playstation and Santa Monica Studio has announced Ragnarok is coming sooner than some expected with the news God of War Ragnarök will be released November 9, 2022. Watch the ‘Father and Son’ announcement trailer and details on the various special editions below…
God of War was released on the PlayStation 4 in 2018 as a distant sequel to the original God of War trilogy. Rather than take place in ancient Greece and continue its Greek mythology, the new God of War explored Norse mythology as Kratos was living an isolated life with his son Atreus until a mysterious Norse god came knocking at their door, setting them off on a journey where they met other figures of Norse lore and delved into the mysteries of Odin. The conclusion of the game teased Kratos and Atreus had inadvertently begun Ragnarök, the end of the world, and saw Odin’s son Thor as the next God to arrive unexpectedly at their home.
God of War Ragnarök will be released on Playstation 4 and PlayStation 5 with pre-orders beginning July 15 at 10 AM. The standard edition will include alternate skins for Kratos and Arteus with the Risen Snow armour and the Snow Tunic for the pair.
