Sony is once again strong at the start of the summer by announcing the official release date of God of War: Ragnarök. The PS4 and PS5 exclusivity is announced by a muscular trailer, and invites us to discover its collector’s editions.
Kratos is back to play Asgard’s gods of tricks. After his tough encounter with Baldur and his comrades in 2018’s excellent God of War, our favorite Spartan returns in God of War: Ragnarök, the long-awaited sequel to the star exclusive to Sony consoles. A release announced a little over four years ago and whose official date of arrival on our consoles was finally revealed to us this Wednesday. Kratos and his son Atreus set out again in search of truth in the nine realms next November. A release extremely awaited by fans, some of whom even went so far as to threaten his studio, Sony Santa Monica, following the postponement of certain announcements a little over a week ago. In short, God of War: Ragnarök is a hot topic with a chilling plot. We tell you all about it.
Thirty seconds is all Sony left us this Wednesday to reveal the release date of God of War: Ragnarök. But you know the adage, size doesn’t matter, especially not when we announce information expected from fans for more than 48 months. During these short CGI sequences, Kratos and Atreus can be seen battling the evil and angry Draugrs. A few frames later, our two heroes come face to face with a giant wolf, which could well be none other than Fenrir, son of the god Loki who seems to be at the heart of the plot of this epic sequel. We let you discover the images of the Father & Son trailer:
