If all goes according to plan, God of War Ragnarok is expected to be released this year. It will be a sequel to God of War, which was one of the finest PS4 games ever in 2018.
The forthcoming God of War game for the PlayStation 5 is expected to be a major release. It has been pushed back to 2022 because to the COVID-19 epidemic and a need for more development time.
On Twitter, Sony Santa Monica Studios said that they needed to “protect the safety and well-being of our team, creative partners, and families” in order to create a “top-quality game.” Sony made the announcement during the PlayStation Showcase in September that Ragnarok would be launched for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 sometime in 2022. (more on that next).
God of War Ragnarok’s PS5-powered gameplay video already looks incredible. We should expect to see a lot more of the Nine Realms of Old Norse mythology being explored this time around.
God of War Ragnarok is expected to get more attention as the year progresses, most likely in the summer and autumn. While we wait for further information about God of War Ragnarok, here’s what we do know:
Rumors about the release date of God of War Ragnarok
The original release date for God of War: Ragnarok was set for the second half of 2021. However, this was not the case, as Santa Monic Studio stated that it had pushed the game back to 2022.
We haven’t heard anything new regarding a release date since then, but we’d be shocked if God of War Ragnarok showed out before the end of 2022. Even more delays are possible as the game’s creators continue to fine-tune it.
God of War is “the wonderful game that we all want to play,” Sid Shuman, CEO of PlayStation Studios, said.
It’ll take a long time and a lot of effort to create a game that’s as good as God of War. As a result, we prefer that the game’s release be postponed to allow for more refinement.
However, a Sony Santa Monica Studio developer has said that God of War Ragnarok is still on pace to be released in 2022, defying some fan suspicions that the game may have received a second large delay. Please let us know as soon as a date is available.
Is God Of War Ragnarok coming to PlayStation 4??
Sony has confirmed that the God of War sequel will be released on PS5 as well as PS4. Hermen Hulst, the CEO of PlayStation Studios, was interviewed on the company’s blog and revealed the news of a prior generation version. Sony has announced that Raganrok will be available on PS5 and PS4, however there is no information yet on any changes between the two versions. For an extra fee, you may upgrade your PS4 digital or disc edition of God of War Ragnarok to a PS5 digital version, according to Sony’s God of War Ragnarok website.
Is there a PC version in the works?
The previous history of Sony steadily porting some of its greatest PlayStation games to PC, as well as the fact that 2018’s God of War is already accessible on PC, leads one to think that God of War: Ragnarok will be released on the same platform at some point. To support the premise that Sony intends to bring more of its own first-party games to PC to broaden their audience, it has bought PC port specialist Nixxes Software. The existence of a PC version of Ragnarok hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but PlayStation Blog interviewee Hulst said that the studio is still investing in the PC market. In any case, if it’s anything like prior Sony PC releases, it won’t be coming to the platform for a long time, if it does. The PC version of God of War 2018 has finally made available after almost three years of development. Regardless, we’ll keep you apprised of any new information as it comes to light.
In the trailer and the plot of God of War Ragnarok
The official reveal trailer for God of War Ragnarok premiered at the PlayStation Showcase 2021 after a long wait. It demonstrates how Atreus and his father Kratos interacted as children. Both Thor and Tyr, as well as a re-assembled cast from 2018’s God of War, make an appearance.
This statement, however, reveals that the next God of War will be a direct sequel to the 2018 game, which is good news. There are spoilers ahead, so read on if you don’t want to know what happens in that game. Thunder god Thor appears at Kratos’ home in the last scene, apparently seeking vengeance for Kratos slaying his sons and brother Baldur.
As a result, we may assume that God of War Ragnarok will follow Kratos and his son Atreus, who just so happens to be the trickster god Loki, as they go through the Nine Realms of Asgard. Svartalfheim and Asgard are potential candidates, as are others.
In addition, we should anticipate the fight to have a pleasing combination of chaos and weight because of the DualSense controller’s sophisticated haptic feedback.
PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4
God of War Ragnarok will be available for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. A lot will rely on how effectively Santa Monica Studio can adapt the game for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms. However, the gameplay video that has been shown thus far is just stunning.
A good-looking sequel should be in store for God of War II, particularly if it takes use of the PS5’s enhanced graphics capabilities.
Global chip shortages have resulted in PS5 restocks being very scarce, making it almost impossible to get your hands on one right now. It’s possible that releasing God of War Ragnarok across PlayStation generations may benefit those who haven’t yet purchased a PlayStation 5.
God of War Ragnarok
As long as God of War Ragnarok follows in the footsteps of its predecessor in terms of plot and action, we may be looking at a new addition in our greatest PlayStation 5 games.
However, Santa Monica Studio has a lot of talented people. As a first-party Sony developer, the studio has access to the PS5’s full potential to create a visually stunning experience for God of War Ragnarok. While we’d like it if that were to happen, we’re nonetheless interested in learning more about the Nine Realms.
