Release date and details of God of War: Ragnarok
God of War: Ragnarok is not only going to be the continuation of Kratos and Atreus’ journey through the Nordic realms, but it is also going to be the conclusion of the Norse Saga.
The game was not disclosed until the 2020 PlayStation 5 State of Play where it was announced as a title; the gameplay was also not made known until 2021.
