News | God of War Ragnarök Releases November 9 for PS4 and PS5

After weeks of speculation and apparently last minute canceled announcements of the release date of God of War Ragnarök, the redeeming word is finaly here. The game will be released on November 9 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Sony and developer Sony Santa Monica Studio have announced this.

A thirty-second cinematic trailer featuring Kratos and Atreus, titled “Father and Son,” has also been shared. The trailer does not consist of gameplay footage and is therefore completely animated with CG.

In the trailer, Kratos and Atreus take on a group of enemies; Kratos with his ax and Atreus with his bow and arrow. A giant wolf can be seen in the final shot of the trailer. This is probably Fenrir, in Norse mythology the son of Loki (god of deception) and brother of Hel (goddess of the underworld).

PlayStation also released a video where Santa Monica Studio Art Director Rafael Grassetti and Ryan Hurst, the motion capture and voice actor of Thor, unbox the Collector’s and Jötnar Editions.
