About

God of War: Ragnarök (colloquially known as God of War 5) is the 2022 sequel in the God of War video game franchise, scheduled to be released worldwide on November 9th, 2022, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Developed by Santa Monica Studios and directed by Eric Williams, the game marks the second entry of the more dramatic tonal shift in the franchise, after the God of War (2018) reboot, following main character Kratos further evolves his relationship with his now teenage son Atreus. The game will serve as the finale to the Norse mythology era of the series, covering the events of Ragnarök that bring about the end of days, and depicts the deaths of some of the Norse gods.

History

God of War: Ragnarök was first announced at the PlayStation 5 Showcase[1] event on September 16th, 2020, with a teaser stating that "Ragnarök is coming," in reference to the events at the end of the previous game. Uploaded by IGN's YouTube[1] channel, the teaser(see below) has garnered 6.6 million views and 226,000 likes in two years.



The game was scheduled to be released in 2021, but the studio behind the game, Santa Monica Studios, delayed it to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Christopher Judge's[2] (Kratos's voice actor) health problems. The sequel is scheduled to be released worldwide on November 9th, 2022, for the PS 4 and PS 5 consoles.

Gameplay

God of War: Ragnarök is a single-player, third-person action-adventure video game, following the same features of the previous entry, with an over-the-shoulder free/continuous camera and RPG elements. In this new game, you battle Norse mythological creatures such as the God of war, Kratos, and his son, Atreus, trying to avoid the end of the world known as Ragnarök. The game also features increased enemy types and more mini-bosses to give the game more variety.[3]

Sony revealed the gameplay for the game during its September 13th, 2022 State of Play. The YouTube[6] video (seen below) has garnered 6.6 million views and 346,000 likes in three months.



Reception

Like the 2018 reboot, which was well received by critics, Ragnarök has been getting relatively universal acclaim on review aggregator Metacritic[4]. As of November 4th, 2022, it ranked with a 94/100 score based on 117 critic reviews. In November 2022, Ragnarök ranked as the second Best PlayStation 5 Game of 2022, behind only FromSoftware's Elden Ring.

Online Presence

Fans are excited to get their hands on the new Kratos adventure as Sony releases new promotional videos for the game. One November 4, 2022 post from @t_d_nick24 on Instagram[7] uses the meme Fernanfloo dresses up to express his hype to play the game. The post earned 31 likes in 7 hours (seen below).



One advertisement became popular on YouTube[8] on November 2nd, 2022, featuring the actor Ben Stiller dressed as Kratos for a group therapy session with John Travolta and LeBron James. The ad includes Stiller and his son Quin, Travolta and his daughter Ella, and James and his son Bronnyhas with the goal of reaching new audiences for the new installment of the franchise. The video has accumulated 1 million and 55,000 likes in two days.



Twitter[9] user @blurayangel commented on Ben Stiller's Kratos costume, saying he "always wins" in reference to the actor's Avatar costume. The tweet, posted on November 1st, 2022, received 50 likes and 7 retweets in three days.

Leaks

A week before the official release of the game, many leaks and spoilers started to spread online. People have been posting clips playing their way through the entire game, sharing key story details, easter eggs and much more. On October 30th, 2022, Santa Monica Studio posted a letter asking fans not to share the leaked content so that it won't ruin people's experience playing the full game. The post received 30,500 likes and 6,600 retweets in 6 days.
