Sequel to 2018’s God of War game
God of War Ragnarök is a premium action game that comes from developer Santa Monica Studio. It’s the sequel to 2018’s award-winning, poignant father-son adventure, God of War. It continues where the first left off and sees Kratos and Atreus journeying the Nine Realms to find a way to prevent Ragnarök.
Compared to the first God of War game, God of War Ragnarök will take advantage of next-gen hardware to bring a stunning visual experience at 4K resolution that can go up to 60fps. It is slated to come out on November 9, 2022.
The Norse Saga continues
The God of War reboot back in 2018 provided a touching and grounded tale, and that speaks volumes for a franchise that has predominantly occupied itself with violence and gore. With God of War Ragnarök, the father-son Norse adventure continues as Atreus seeks answers to the Loki prophecy while Kratos continues to battle his past and inner demons to try to be a father to the boy.
You can expect to wield Kratos’ arsenal of weapons from his signature Leviathan Ax and Guardian Shield, and of course, the iconic Blades of Chaos. Together with Atreus’ improved archery skills, a set of new skills and abilities provided by weapon runes, you will have access to a variety of ways to help you face enemies, creatures, and Norse gods throughout the realms.
Now, just like its predecessor, this sequel will not be a Day One release on PCs. It will come out on November 9, 2022, but it will be exclusive to the PS4 and PS5 only. However, with Sony’s in-house game studio, Playstation Studios, and its efforts in bringing its PS exclusives to other platforms, it’s really only a matter of time before it arrives in the PC space.
Will be worth the wait
After years of waiting, the sequel to the universally acclaimed God of War is nigh. Sadly, there will be more waiting left to be done as far as a PC release is concerned. If its predecessor is anything to go by, though, God of War Ragnarök is pretty much a sure thing—it’s a matter of when not if. The waiting game now begins.
