The winds of Fimbulwinter have already begun the blow and Ragnarök is coming.
After what seems like an eternity, Sony's Santa Monica Studio has finally announced that God of War Ragnarök is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on November 9th, 2022!
The announcement was accompanied by a new "Father and Son" cinematic trailer, which offers a glimpse of Kratos and Atreus facing off against a Worg. You can check it out below.
"We’re thrilled be able to share our release date and the brand-new God of War Ragnarök – Father and Son CG Trailer with all the God of War fans who have been eagerly awaiting news," the official announcement reads. "We hope you’ve enjoyed a glimpse at some of the dangers Kratos and Atreus could find themselves up against as Ragnarök approaches."
The ninth installment in the God of War series and the sequel to 2018's God of War, God of War Ragnarök is loosely based on Norse mythology, and will be set in ancient Norway and feature series protagonists Kratos, the former Greek God of War, and his young son Atreus.
Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as they prepare for the prophesied battle that will end the world.
Together, Kratos and Atreus venture deep into the Nine Realms in search of answers as Asgardian forces prepare for war. Along the way they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, gather allies from across the realms and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters.
As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus find themselves choosing between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms...
