God of War Ragnarökbecame one the best video games of its generation when it was released in November 2022 for PS5 and PS4.
Considered to be somewhat of a soft reboot in the series, theGod of Warthat was released in 2018 was a very different game from the series' previous entries. God of War from the PS2 to PS3 era was a pure hack-and-slash brute-fest that starred Spartan warrior-turned Greek God slayer Kratos.

However, when the series arrived onPlayStation 4in 2018, it told a more mature, gritty, and at times heart-warming, story of Kratos, now residing in the Scandinavian realm of Midgard with his son Atreus. Sure,God of War(2018) still featured high-octane and brutal gameplay, but for better or worse, the series had evolved into something more cinematic and would garner multiple awards which led to the success ofGod of War Ragnarök.

What’s more, it is also claimed that the DLC will arrive at some point this year. It’s unclear at this time whether this content will be direct DLC toRagnarökor a standalone experience much likeMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Interestingly, just this month, current series developerSanta Monica Studioadvertiseda new job listingthat required knowledge of bothGod of War(2018) as well asGod of War Ragnarök. So make of that what you will.
Of course, we should take all unconfirmed rumours with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise. After all, at least in the God of War series, this would be an unprecedented development, but one that fans would surely welcome nonetheless.

Inour reviewofGod of War Ragnarök, we said that it is “a fantastically impressive sequel that delivers in every conceivable way. It expands on and improves the formula established in 2018’sGod of Warhugely, offering up blistering action, gut-wrenching twists, and truly cinematic boss battles with real emotional heft behind them. This is a high-stakes, high-fantasy rollercoaster from start to finish, and an instant PlayStation classic.”
