God of War Ragnarok hasn't even gotten a confirmed PlayStation 5, PS4 2022 release date yet and here we are already discussing the possibility of a PC port. That's not a reflection of Sony changing its approach to porting its blockbuster titles to the personal computer, but Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory...

Deity damage
Here’s an interesting little tidbit coming out of Saudi Arabia: God of War Ragnarok has been rated for release. Typically games don’t get classified until they’re close to launching, so this seems early for the anticipated sequel. Meta data scraped from Sony’s servers suggests the platform holder may be targeting a September...

News PlayStation Database Has God of War Ragnarok Set for September 2022 Release Date
But it could be a placeholder
God of War Ragnarok is supposed to launch at some point in 2022, but we're probably not getting an official release date announcement until fellow exclusive Horizon Forbidden West has hit store shelves in February. And even then, we're expecting Sony to give it at least another few months. Assuming that it doesn't get...

News God of War's Norse Story Won't Be a Trilogy Because the Games Take Too Long to Make
Cory Barlog doesn't want to draw the story out
God of War Ragnarok looks excellent in the recent trailer, and we're really looking forward to finding out how Kratos and Atreus' Norse adventure concludes in the sequel. Indeed, the upcoming game will be the end of the Norse mythology saga, meaning it's not getting the (perhaps expected) trilogy...

News God of War Ragnarok's Camera Is a Single Shot from Start to Finish, Just Like the Last Game
Impressive, boy
2018's God of War is an excellent game for many reasons, but one of its most unique aspects is its cinematography. From the very start of the adventure to the closing sequence, the camera never once cuts — it's one seamless shot all the way through, whether it's gameplay or a cutscene. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks as though God...

News God of War's Tyr Is Shorter Than Lady Dimitrescu
Still a big lad, though
Tyr is a name we heard a lot during the course of 2018's God of War, but we never got to meet the Norse god in the flesh. That's set to change in God of War Ragnarok — the new trailer heavily implies he'll ally with Kratos and Atreus, presumably tagging along for at least part of the adventure. That's all very exciting, and...
News Here's Your Very First Look at Thor in God of War Ragnarok
God of thunder revealed
Spoilers: Thor will be in God of War Ragnarok. Hardly a shock, considering he's one of the most important figures in Norse myth — and it seems like he'll stand opposed to Kratos and Atreus. While his appearance was teased in the previous game, we've not really had a good look at him yet. Don't worry — Santa Monica Studio...

Odin beckons
Yes, it's officially named God of War Ragnarok! The massively anticipated sequel put in a big showing at Sony's latest PlayStation 5 event, and boy does it look good. The new trailer has a surprising amount of gameplay footage, and Atreus, Kratos' son, has aged a few years. As expected, this is very much a direct continuation of 2018's...

Hmmm
Will God of War Ragnarok be exclusive to PS5? Or will it be a cross-gen title, like Horizon Forbidden West? The simple answer is that, right now, we don't know. And apparently, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan doesn't want to talk about it. In an interview with The Telegraph — which covers Sony's next-gen console in general — Ryan is asked...

News God of War Ragnarok Announced for PS5 in 2021
Ragnarok is coming
Sony slipped a very brief God of War Ragnarok teaser trailer into its PS5 showcase. There isn't much to see here — just an icy God of War logo — but we do get to hear Kratos grumble some ominous words. Surprisingly, God of War Ragnarok is aiming for a 2021 release date on PS5. We honestly thought it'd arrive later than that,...
