God Of War Ragnarök game preview: The Norse epic continues

Two years after its release on PlayStation, God Of War Ragnarök finally brings the series’ epic Norse saga to a close on PC. Continuing the journey of Kratos and his teenage son, Atreus, the sequel deepens their familial dynamic as the pair confront the prophecy of Ragnarök, the end of the world. With the Nine Realms on the brink of collapse, players must battle more legendary enemies, including classic Norse gods Thor and Odin, all the while navigating the complex relationship dilemmas and moral choices that have defined the series so far.

On more powerful hardware, the PC version will deliver improved visuals, with high-resolution textures and support for ultra-wide displays elevating the already breathtaking environments, from the icy landscapes of Midgard to the fiery depths of Muspelheim. The game features the same deep combat system as its predecessor, blending brutal melee with strategic use of weapons and abilities, together with new roguelite elements. As long as there are no unexpected issues such as those that plagued The Last Of Us Part One when it was ported to PC in 2023, God Of War Ragnarök promises to be one of the most exciting launches of the year, offering an unforgettable final adventure in one of gaming’s most revered franchises.

God Of War Ragnarök is released on PC on Thursday 19 September; out on PS4 and PS5 now.
