Despite some early ‘confusion’ surrounding the game’s official title, it’s been revealed that God of War Ragnarok is in fact the name of the sequel to the 2018 series reboot from Santa Monica Studios. The title confirmation comes by way of an official first look at the game, which debuted today during Sony’s latest PlayStation Showcase event.

Sony released the official reveal trailer for God of War Ragnarok towards the end of its PlayStation Showcase. Coming in at a meaty +3 minutes in length, the new trailer opens with Kratos and his son seemingly in hiding, though that quickly changes following an outburst from the ‘boy’ about not wanting to go off and discover who he is and how to stop Ragnarok from happening. Check out the trailer below:

Further along in the trailer we are treated to brief glimpses and hints of what’s to come. This includes a fateful meeting with Thor, an angry Freya out for revenge, and a quest to find Tyr, the Norse God of War and counterpart of Kratos. “Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods,” reads the PlayStation blog post that accompanied the trailer reveal. “He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir.”

Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches.”

God of War Ragnarok is currently in development for PS4 and PS5.
