The God of War Ragnarok reveal trailer gave us a good idea of what to expect from the story. Years have passed since the end of 2018's God of War, evidenced by an older, more confident Atreus whose giant genes are starting to show.
Together father and son must face the impending Ragnarok - the legendary Norse version of an apocalypse - facing the enemies they made in God of War like Freya, new ones like Thor, and more as Kratos wrestles with his son's rebellious streak and his knowledge of who Atreus really is. The story will take place across the Nine Realms - you only saw six in God of War - adding Vanaheim, Svartalfheim, and Asgard to the mix.
The trailer also introduces some intriguing new characters like Angrboda, who developer Sony Santa Monica has said is "one of the last remaining giants." That big guy at the end? That's Tyr, son of Odin, half-brother of Thor and Baldur, but is imprisoned by his own father and so will likely to want to settle the score with daddy.
Story details appeared in a PlayStation store listing description for God of War Ragnarok. Most notably, it once again reiterates that we'll be visiting all nine realms as Kratos and Atreus. "Fimbulwinter is well underway. Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as Asgardian forces prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world," the description reads(opens in new tab). "Along the way, they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. The threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer. Kratos and Atreus must choose between their own safety and the safety of the realms."
