14 DAY TRIAL // God of War is an established franchise that has been revived by Sony two years ago. Following the huge success of the game developed by the Santa Monica Studio led by Cory Barlog, Sony has decided to refresh the series with yet another brand-new title.
During last night's PlayStation 5 Showcase, Sony President Jim Ryan announced that a new God of War titles is in the works at Santa Monica Studio and will be launched in 2021. Unfortunately, apart from a very short teaser that hints at the name of the game, no other details have been revealed during the show.
In fact, the upcoming God of War titles was Sony's “one more thing” moment, and a total surprise. It's not a surprise that God of War is getting a sequel, it's the moment that Sony chose to reveal the game that took us by surprise since there were no rumors that would suggest another God of War game could be launched as early as next year.
The name God of War 2: Ragnarok is just a placeholder until Sony properly reveals the game, but the teaser is quite clear about one thing: “Ragnarok is coming.” The voice of Christopher Judge saying “The time draws near. You must prepare yourself” can be heard during the teaser, which means he will reprise his role in the God of War sequel.
It remains to be seen if Atreus will play a part in God of War 2 since there's no mention of him anywhere in the teaser. Little else is known about the new God of War title, so we'll just have to wait and see where the series will take us next.
One thing is certain though, things are going to escalate quickly in God of War 2: Ragnarok, which can only mean one thing – bigger and badder enemies for Kratos to kill.
