God of War Ragnarök
God of War: Ragnarök marks the ninth chapter in the iconic God of War franchise and serves as a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed 2018 title, God of War. Staying true to its roots in Norse mythology, this epic adventure takes players through the stunning landscapes of ancient Norway. Players will reunite with the legendary duo, Kratos, the once-mighty Greek God of War, and his young son, Atreus. As the story unfolds, they embark on a thrilling quest across the Nine Realms, uncovering vital truths and bracing for the foretold battle that signifies the dawn of Ragnarök, an event destined to reshape their world.
The chilling winds of Fimbulwinter have descended on Midgard, intensifying the struggle for survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir amid the unforgiving Norse wilderness.
While the previous game forged a deep bond of trust and understanding between father and son, their relationship remains intricate – especially after Atreus’ revelation of his Giant lineage and the cryptic prophecy known only to Kratos.
Atreus, driven by insatiable curiosity, is eager to discover his identity and potential. Like many young heroes, he grapples with the mystery of Loki’s involvement in the looming conflict, feeling compelled to protect his family while refusing to remain passive as chaos engulfs the Nine Realms.
Kratos, weighed down by the burdens of his tragic past, is determined to shield Atreus from the harsh lessons learned during his battles with the gods. He prioritizes his son’s safety above all, drawing from their battle with Baldur as a cautionary tale of the tragic consequences that can arise from entanglements with the Aesir.
Together, Kratos and Atreus face a pivotal decision that will shape their destinies and the fate of all living in the Nine Realms as the cataclysmic Ragnarök draws near.
