From the trailer you can see what happens when Kratos finds himself under the hooves of the Stalker or grabbed between the jaws of a Dreki, and that’s just the beginning. The realms have grown harsher, and a whole host of new creatures from across Norse mythology will test your skills. Whatever your choice of combat strategy, the enemies that await in God of War Ragnarök will be ready. Whether it’s through hard hitting combos, a mastery of elements, or clever defensive tactics – you will find plenty of opportunity to fight alongside our duo in a way that feels uniquely expressive. With God of War Ragnarök, one of our main goals was to push player choice in combat. It would not be God of War without a healthy serving of visceral and spectacular combat. You’ve been able to see just a hint of new attack abilities, a new Runic Summon for Atreus, and of course, the return of Kratos’ legendary weapons.Īs a team we’ve worked hard to take our learnings from God of War (2018) and improve upon combat to feel fresh, yet familiar. While we don’t want to give too much away right now, we think even a peek at Mjölnir wreathed in lightning will give you a hint at just how formidable Thor will be as an adversary. Referred to disparagingly by Mimir as the “Biggest Butchering Bastard in the Nine Realms,” Thor earned his title as one of the most powerful Aesir gods by wiping out nearly all the Giants at Odin’s command. We wanted to remind players that Freya isn’t just a terrifyingly powerful user of Vanir magic, but also that she’s a formidable warrior in her own right. Enraged by Kratos’ evasion of justice by her hand, Freya will turn every weapon at her disposal towards her son’s killer.Īlso suffering the loss of his sons and half-brother, Thor’s legendary bloodlust and wrath will be aimed at Kratos and Atreus. We show a brief look at two of the main antagonists you’ll face in God of War Ragnarök: Freya and Thor.īecause of Kratos’ actions at the end of the previous game, the once-ally-turned-enemy Freya has sworn vengeance for the death of her son, Baldur.
Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches. Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir. Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his family safe, but Atreus also doesn’t want to stand by and do nothing while conflict consumes the Nine Realms. The mystery of Loki’s role in the upcoming conflict is something that Atreus cannot let go of. In this case, he wants to understand who he could be. Like most young people, he wants to understand who he is more than anything.
While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw.Ītreus is desperately curious. The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before. As you can see in the trailer, we’re picking up a few years after the events of God of War (2018).
