Set up to tap into the power of the PS5, game footage of God of State of war Ragnarok already expect stupendous. This time around, Kratos and Atreus look set to explore more of the Nine Realms of Quondam Norse mythology.

We can expect to hear more than almost God of War Ragnarok every bit the twelvemonth draws on, likely around the summer and into the fall. Merely in the meantime, here'southward what nosotros know virtually God of State of war Ragnarok so far.

God of War Ragnarok release date speculation

God of War Ragnarok was initially slated for a late 2021 release. Merely that didn't happen, and developer Santa Monic Studio announced that information technology had pushed the game back into 2022.

Developing a game that will follow in the footsteps of the stellar God of War volition no doubt take a lot of time and shine. Then nosotros're happier seeing the game delayed and perfected than rushed out.

God of War Ragnarok trailer and story

After much anticipation, we finally received an official reveal trailer for God of War Ragnarok, which debuted during the PlayStation Showcase 2021. It shows off the coaction between an older Atreus and his begetter Kratos. Returning likewise are a familiar cast of characters from 2018'southward God of War, as well as Norse gods Thor and Tyr.

Merely what we tin take from this announcement is that the next God of War is a direct sequel to the 2018 game. Spoiler warning: The end of that game sows the seeds for the Old Norse tale of Ragnarok. During the ending, the Norse god of thunder, Thor turns up at Kratos' house, seemingly to seek revenge for Kratos killing his sons, every bit well every bit his brother Baldur.

With that in mind, nosotros can await God of War Ragnarok to follow Kratos and his son Atreus — who happens to be the trickster god Loki — equally they travel across the 9 Realms. These will probable include Svartalfheim and Asgard, as well as other areas.

We tin also wait the combat to accept the satisfying mix of chaotic-notwithstanding-weighty feel to it, likely with an added depth thanks to the avant-garde haptic feedback of DualSense controller.

God of War Ragnarok volition be a cross-platform game, coming to both the PS5 and PS4. Whether this will hold back the game's graphical fidelity will depend on how well Santa Monica Studio can calibration the game for both consoles. But the game footage so far looks great.

God of War looked fantastic on the PS4, so we tin expect the sequel to look pretty proficient as well, especially if it comes with a lot of graphical extras facilitated by the PS5.

Currently, it'due south very hard to notice a PS5 restock, all thanks to a global chip shortage that affects game console and graphics card supply. Releasing God of State of war Ragnarok beyond the PlayStation generations could be good for people who've even so to get a PS5.

Fifty-fifty if that doesn't happen, we're nonetheless eager to see where the story goes next, as well as explore more than of the 9 Realms.
