God of War Ragnarok releases for PS5, PS4 in less than two weeks, so with real-life marketing already doing the rounds, Sony has published the game's launch trailer. It's a very short one — clocking in at exactly 30 seconds — but it teases just enough to get us excited all over again. The vast majority of the clips we've already seen before, but there are a few new ones. Nothing appears to be a spoiler, so feel free to watch.
"Join Kratos and Atreus on a mythic journey for answers before the prophesied battle that will end the world. All the while, the eyes of Asgard watch their every move…," the YouTube description reveals.
Our PS5 review will go live in exactly one week, with our first impressions already live on the site. "While this project may have been an easy bet based on the success of its predecessor, there are very few publishers willing to invest in production values like these. With the industry in a state of flux, as fat cats push for subscriptions and player retention, we’ll say this: savour Ragnarok – it certainly won’t be the last of its kind, like its name implies, but it’s not often that games like this come around."
Have you already pre-ordered? Get excited in the comments below.

The article is wrong btw, there is literally NO new footage at all.
Not that I'm complaining though, I'm so pumped to play this game, glad they're not showing too much.
@DonJorginho Definitely a few I haven't seen and I believe I've seen all the footage released so far.
Preordered allright! Just wating now and killing time with AC Valhalla in the meantime😊
Gonna have to wait on this until I’m past The Callisto Protocol, as there’s no way I can finish it before then and truly savor and enjoy the experience like I want to with both of those titles. But I’m completely stoked for it and can’t wait to play it!
I’ve had the week starting the 14th Nov booked off since the release date was announced and I have the Collectors edition on pre-order (the Jotnar Edish was all gone by the time I logged on). It’s gonna be emotional!
Aside from character art I’ve not seen any footage of this game. I try to avoid that sort of thing when I’m hyped for new media (i.e. movies and games).
Games such as this are why Sony systems are usually my fave places to play.
Few companies produce product this polished and finished, and this is the type of game that trully competes with the best films and tv series out there and shows games production can be cutting edge entertainment.
Super hyped to play this.
Can't wait. Also can't unhear Toby Ziegler. lol
Currently in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Looking forward to get a copy in Singaoore in December. So excited for this.
@TrickyDicky99 Poor show recycling old comments. No one really cares if it's a cross gen game. A good game is a good game, regardless of how much power it utilizes of the system it's on.
Hopefully the jotnar edition comes back in stock on ps direct uk otherwise will just nab a digital copy. Only 13 days to go.
Only 13 days to go to this years second masterpiece alongside Elden Ring. Need to finish the first great and awesome game before this one.
Who here reckons scores of 10 across the board apart from one or two stingy critics, maybe gamespot again cos they gave the first one 9, so probably an 8 or 9 for Ragnorok but all being mostly 10’s.
Yo son that god of war music is always legendary.another masterpiece coming.kratos the g.o.a.t 🐐 👑.word up son
@caiol92 same I've just played through 3 remastered & I'd like to see some references to pandora , Athena , Gaia etc

@TrickyDicky99 😂😂😂😂
Trailer got me mega hyped again! This is the only game I'll be playing in November more than likely.
@Titntin
Do you think high production games like HFW, GOW and next years Spider man 2 will start to become less frequent? The high production values are of course second to none and an amazing achievement, but with costs and time taken etc and the sort of change that’s in the air are they going to become less the normal than we have been used during the PS3 and PS4 days.
Imagine a pure high production value game just for PS5 technology used to its near maximum, yes amazing in all areas, but effort, cost and time probably staggering.
@Dezzy70 Yes its exactly what I expect going forwards.
Its almost Sonys usp now, people know a big sony game will have strong production values, and this in turn creates strong ips they can then market.
Whilst ensuring games of this quality are delivered is not cheap, its about doing it right and having proper qa and management, and sonys internal teams are focussed and supported to do this.
That there are other teams that can avhieve the bar is undoubted, and this years cod is testament to that, lots of staff all focused on product, can produce something shiney.
Id like to think the Coalition could produce to this level too, so im interested to see what they are up too.
Producing the quality is about effective management, not inexhaustable manpower and time. Insomniac are a perfect example, no crunch, effective management and regular excellent output. Like the small film companies that win oscars, a quality vision realised effectively doesnt have to be top dollar.
Either way, these are the titles that I think move our genre forwards and Id like to see more of them! 😁
@Titntin
Totally agree about effective management
I’m one myself but in the aerospace engineering industry.
Yes Playground games FH5 showed this and I’m sure Turn 10 and the coalition will do. I would say currently on this year 2022 it has been one of Microsoft’s weaknesses for sure. Next year will tell for me if they can pump quality AAA games out as promised.
I think Sony will continue to produce these massive production games, but maybe with more thought before deciding to embark on such big productions. I think next year there will be just the one Spider man 2 with main focus on PSVR 2.
As for my current playtime friends Nintendo we will get one BOTW2 and you never know with N maybe another.
@Dezzy70 You watch Sonys space, theres a LOT of projects coming and there will be several next year. Personnel prediction, cant back it up with proof, but im seeing at least one drop per 3 months...
Ninty will drop something unexpected too of course, but they have so few ips i care about it probably wont affect me.
MS are prmising loads and I wanna see them!
@Titntin
Let’s hope so on the Sony front but time will tell for 2023.
Think Nintendo will drop something probably Pikmin 4 and finger crossed a new Mario platform game as it’s the Movie next year.
Microsoft, only the gods know the answer to that one 😂👾
@LiamCroft There is no new footage in this launch trailer. But as DonJorginho said, I'm not complaining 😃
Can't wait till finally playing it!
