God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla is an unfortunate amalgamation of Norse words. However, the incoming free DLC (out today, 12th December) looks like a delicious second helping for fans of Sony Santa Monica's most recent release. We learned that Valhalla would serve as an epilogue to Kratos's story, and now we have a trailer showing it in randomly generated action.
Valhalla will allow the developers to explore an aspect of Norse mythology not addressed in the rebooted God of War franchise, and it's doing so by reimagining the gameplay into a roguelike adventure of personal discovery. More combat is never a bad thing, considering how satisfying the systems in place are, and never-before-seen enemy groupings and a "few surprises" were teased. Likely learning a few lessons from Hades, the idea of repeat playthroughs is sweetened by the tantalising prospect of additional story beats.
