How it plays
God of War Ragnarök carries on the story of Kratos and his son Atreus from God of War (2018). With Fimbulwinter under way, the two travel to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers while Odin's forces in Asgard prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world. Along the way they explore mythical landscapes and fight Norse gods and monsters.
Kratos fights with the Leviathan Axe, the Blades of Chaos and the Guardian Shield, and both Kratos and Atreus gain new abilities. The publisher describes the camera as cinematic and "no-cut".
Valhalla is included at no extra cost. In it Kratos, with only Mimir for company, makes repeated attempts through Valhalla in a mode inspired by roguelites: each attempt resets his stats, runic attacks and perks, offers choices between rewards and builds resources towards permanent upgrades.
On PC the game supports unlocked frame rates, 21:9 and 32:9 screens, DLSS, FSR and XeSS upscaling, NVIDIA Reflex, DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers (with haptic feedback on DualSense), other gamepads, and remappable mouse and keyboard controls.
