Now, the last time we got a new instalment was back in 2018. So, it has been quite a while and fans are eagerly waiting for the next one. But, you need not wait for much longer as the developers have announced a sequel.
Thus, it’s only a matter of time before you can get to play the next instalment. Meanwhile, you might be curious about what to expect from the game. From what it seems, there is quite a lot, and we’re about to take a look at them. Keep in touch with Awaze Uttar Pradesh for more such highlights.
When is it coming?
First and foremost, many gamers are curious about when the new God of War is going to be released. So, you have the same question in your mind? In case you didn’t know, they were supposed to release it sometime in 2021.
But unfortunately, the developers delayed it to 2022. So, you need to wait longer than you were supposed to at first. This did annoy many gamers, as you might have imagined. Regardless, you can remain assured about the message “Ragnarok is coming” shown in the teaser.
On which platform the game will be released?
The previous instalment of God of war released on PS4. With PS5’s release in 2020, many gamers are wondering on which platform the sequel will release. Most have got it right that it will come out on the PS5. But that’s not all, and there’s good news for you.
The developers decided to release this one for the PS4 as well.
None of the previous instalments had a cross-generation release. So, this is a new step for the franchise, which is a great one without any doubt. Many gamers might see it as a sign of how great the game is going to be, according to the professionals associated with Atdoorstep.
What do we know about the game?
Right now, there’s no word about the release since the game was announced with the teaser. But, we can say for sure that it’s a direct sequel to the previous instalment that came out in 2018.
Moreover, it’s going to continue Kratos’s and Atreus’s story from where it left off. That’s a great thing as players were hoping to see them again in the next instalment. So, it continues with the storyline based on ancient Norse mythology. Now, that’s another thing that most players wanted to see more of.
What can we expect to see in Ragnarok?
The developers haven’t come out with a title for the game. But, given the message at the end of the teaser, people are speculating it’ll be titled Ragnarok. Regardless, they are popularly calling it by that name anyway.
Now, the message about Ragnarok in the teaser has some interesting implications. Ragnarok, as you might not know, is the end of the world in Norse mythology. Based on that, we can get an idea of what we’re going to see in the game. Maybe this instalment will answer some questions that the previous one left for us.
What is the significance of the mural?
Players found the mural at the end of the previous instalment intriguing for sure. In case you have completed it, you probably feel the same way about it. After all, there were some interesting revelations in that mural.
Death of Kratos
First, it depicted Kratos’s fate in the future. The mural said that Kratos is going to die, and we’re still wondering whether it’ll happen. Moreover, it says that his son is going to kill him. So, does that imply that his story ends in the upcoming instalment? If it does, then hopefully, it’ll be a grand ending.
Atreus or Loki?
The mural on the wall also says Atreus’s mother was one of the Giants. And this is the most interesting part, his mother’s people will know him as Loki. You surely have heard the name in Marvel movies. So, this yet another aspect players are eager to know about.
So, there is an overall high intrigue among gamers surrounding this mural. We can expect the upcoming part to shed light on this.
Will Freya have her revenge?
You might want to skip this part if you haven’t completed the previous game. So, as we saw in God of War (2018), Atreus and Kratos killed Baldur, Freya’s son. As a result, she turned from their ally to enemy. Now, she would want to avenge her son, which implies the player faces a powerful enemy. Also, most people who completed the game are intrigued about where her story will go. After all, she was the most popular among all the characters in that instalment.
Will Kratos have to take on Thor?
There’s no lack of moments in the previous game that left us intrigued and excited. You would count the ending scene with Thor as one of them for sure. From the look of it, Kratos will have to fight the god of thunder now. The battle between Kratos and Thor, armed with his legendary hammer, would be epic. Players are waiting eagerly to see that happen for sure. Moreover, we can expect it to be one of the most memorable ones in gaming.
What do the developers offer us?
The developers of the game also gave us an idea of what comes with Ragnarok. In case you haven’t checked it out, they do imply some significant changes. From the looks of it, you’re up for an adventure greater than the previous instalments offered.
New weapons and abilities
You can surely expect a wider range of weapons and abilities to destroy enemies. After all, you’ll need them as you’re up to facing some powerful opponents in the game. Also, needless to say, that’ll let you have more fun than the previous instalments. This is typical of the God of War franchise, and so you can expect this.
More gruesome fights
Violent yet grand fights are another typical aspect of God of War. In Ragnarok, that is only going to get more gruesome than ever. As per the developers, the camera position in this instalment will be above the shoulder. So, you’re much closer to the battle than ever before.
Apart from that, you’re going to have more challenging opponents. You can count on that if you’re even a little acquainted with Norse mythology. So, combined with the new camera angle and weapons, you get more epic and gruesome fights.
Bigger and harsher world
As fans would expect, the developers also promise the breathtaking environment of all the previous games. Moreover, they hint at a game world much bigger in scale. Also, we get a hint that it will be more challenging and darker, which translates to more adventure.
Finally….
So, what can you expect from the new God of War instalment? The answer is — all that you got in the previous ones and something more. The signs indicate that it’s going to be epic. Yet, to be fair, we must wait until Ragnarok comes.
