Get Ready for God of War Ragnarök: New Details Revealed
The last God of War left us on an ominous note, as Kratos was standing atop his destroyed fortress in the faraway land of Midgard, the only home he knew, bidding farewell to his son Atreus and wife Faye. There has been much speculation about what will happen next in the highly anticipated God of War sequel, but here are six things we know for sure will happen in God of War Ragnarök: New Details Revealed.
Storyline
The next installment in the God of War series is almost here, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. To tide everyone over until then, here are some new details about the game that have been revealed. Kratos, the main character from previous games, has now reached a level of power which has made him unable to destroy anything or anyone he desires. He is also a father now to his son Atreus who accompanies him on his journey as they travel to Jötunheim (the land where giants live) to retrieve Kratos’s first wife’s ashes so she can be laid to rest with her family. Along their journey, Kratos and Atreus must fight against gods who want to stop them from completing their task; Thor (the god of thunder), Freya (the goddess of fertility), and Loki (god of mischief). What will happen to this quest? Will it succeed? One thing is certain: don’t miss out on playing God of War when it releases later this month!
People love playing action games like God of War because they challenge players to think strategically rather than simply focusing on reflexes. Do you know any other similar video games that demand strategy in addition to quick reflexes? If so, what makes these types of video games fun? Are there specific qualities you look for when deciding if a game should be added to your collection? Whatever your personal preferences may be, make sure you enjoy every aspect of your favorite action-packed adventure by reading reviews online before you make a purchase. Not only will you get an idea what players like or dislike about each game, but it may even inspire ideas for future titles. God of War has just released, and early reviews say it lives up to expectations. Those who played earlier versions claim this one surpasses them all due to how well the combat system is improved. How do you feel about buying games without knowing much about them beforehand? Don't worry--there are plenty of resources available that can help inform potential buyers before making a decision. For example, there's always video gameplay footage which can give insight into what the game looks like, or one could review forum posts written by other gamers who've already had hands-on experience with various products--whether they're good or bad. But, the most helpful resource for making informed decisions about purchases of physical copies of games would be the User Reviews section. For example, we'll see the number of five star ratings alongside negative comments to give us a better sense of whether it might be worth our time to play. Then, we can click through to read more detailed thoughts on the product itself, including pictures that provide visual feedback. In short, doing research before you buy is essential to getting what you want while avoiding mistakes. If you find yourself still needing advice after looking at all of the helpful resources at your disposal, never hesitate to contact someone who works at our store and ask questions. That way, we'll not only point you in the right direction but answer any lingering doubts you might have had while reading reviews online.
Gameplay
Kratos is back and this time he’s taking on the Norse gods. In the new game, you’ll get to play as Kratos and his son Atreus as they travel through the nine realms of Norse mythology. While the game will have similar gameplay mechanics to previous games in the series, there will also be some new elements, such as an upgradable axe and a expanded skill tree. The game will also be bigger in scope, with a longer campaign and more side quests to explore. God of War Ragnarök is shaping up to be the biggest and most ambitious entry in the series yet. Kratos is back, older and wiser with a young son who has been trained by the powerful Norse god Thor. Along their journey, they meet Freya (Queen of Asgard), Baldur (the Nordic God of Light), Odin (the Nordic King of Gods) and many other figures from Nordic lore.
Ragnarök has always been about family drama too-- it's part of what made the first two games so great-- so it's not surprising that we see Atreus growing alongside Kratos, learning how to survive just like him in a world where death lurks around every corner. If I had one complaint about God of War III, it was that Kratos was kind of invincible. It's hard to feel scared or nervous when you know your character can't die no matter what happens. But seeing him struggle against enemies and suffer injuries makes everything feel much more tense, especially since he can't simply waltz over to the save point like in past games if something goes wrong. That being said, I still think we'll see the occasional moment where Kratos overcomes all odds again to show off his power. And even though at times it feels like he's failing, having another character along for the ride means that he won't face certain doom alone anymore. He now has someone to watch out for and help him when things go south, which is perfect given the heavy emphasis on protecting his son throughout the story. They say that parenting changes you, but I never expected it would change a hardened killer like Kratos. Seeing him care so deeply about someone else makes me excited to see what becomes of them both in future installments. There are plenty of opportunities for them to grow as characters, too. There's also the idea that it's impossible to kill an immortal without a Titan - a fact that may come into play later on in the story. Not only does this put pressure on our heroes' abilities, but it also puts pressure on their emotional ties to each other; after all, if you know nothing can hurt your loved ones then what incentive do you have not to sacrifice them? These ideas make me hopeful that Kratos' relationship with his son will be explored deeper than ever before and help give context behind his actions throughout the game. For instance, in the demo I played, I was given a chance to see what happened after Kratos accidentally killed his wife and son. After a heated argument with his wife, Kratos grabbed his son and tried to escape. When he got outside, he saw that she'd called the guards to arrest him. As they approached, he threw himself and his son off of a cliff to avoid capture. A child's screams echoed as they hit the ground below...
Characters and Bosses
This time around, you'll be playing as Kratos and his son Atreus as they take on various Norse-mythology themed enemies and bosses. Some of the characters you'll encounter include Odin, Thor, Freya, and more. The game will also feature a new system where you can call upon the elements to help you in battle. For example, using fire against ice enemies is a good strategy. You'll also find yourself coming across several puzzles that must be solved in order to move forward in the story. For example, you might need to find a specific item or solve a puzzle before being able to continue onward with your journey. Puzzles seem like they'll be easy enough to figure out, but if you're ever stuck, there's always an owl named Idunn who can give hints about what's going on and how to progress. In addition, if you feel like exploring and seeing some other stuff while you do so, there are hidden treasures scattered throughout the world that offer helpful bonuses when found.
You'll also find plenty of NPCs with quests for you to complete. One such quest involves collecting 10 apples from the nearby trees so she can make apple pies. Once all ten have been collected, the NPC makes a plea to you and asks that you deliver them to her brother. Seems simple enough! Except... turns out he lives halfway across the world. I had no idea what this meant until I looked at my map and saw that it had indicated there was a waypoint over in another area of the map, where I had seen this person earlier! Sure enough, after making my way over there, he gave me even more apple pies and asked me to deliver them back home again. It felt kind of like running errands - not just because I was literally running around carrying food items back and forth - but because it wasn't challenging or anything; it just felt menial compared to most of my combat encounters. It does serve a purpose though; these quests give players something else to do in between tougher battles. There were times where I had already completed my objective and there were still people looking for apples, telling me they needed one more to finish their recipe. And then sometimes you come across people who want something completely different than apples - maybe they're looking for honey or flowers instead. If you happen to have any of those ingredients, then by all means, go ahead and hand them over! Your rewards will vary depending on the type of object you hand in, and you'll receive the most amount of gratitude points possible. I handed in a lot of potions and herbs during my playthrough and ended up gaining quite a few gratitude points. These don't provide any tangible benefits to gameplay, but rather just allow you to unlock different things in the skill tree menu, which helps increase the level cap. Speaking of which, you'll get a notification on screen whenever there's a point available to spend. This means that once your skill tree has maxed out, you won't be able to spend anymore points until you've leveled up. You can also use these gratitude points to purchase skills and attributes as well.
Graphics
A new God of War game is always cause for celebration, and this year’s E3 was no different. Announced during Sony’s press conference, God of War Ragnarök is the latest entry in the long-running series, and it looks like it could be the best one yet. If you watched the gameplay demo, you know that God of War has a brand new look with much more detail and realism than previous games. But what about the story? What will happen to Kratos? The trailer revealed that Kratos has passed on his rage to his son Atreus, who shares his thirst for vengeance. When asked how they balance out their relationship while fighting against creatures from Norse mythology like Jötunn (giants), creative director Cory Barlog said it's complicated. We'll have to wait until November to find out more details! The graphics for God of War are absolutely stunning and bring a lot more depth to an already thrilling world. From the reveal trailer, we can see that although Kratos still uses brutal combat techniques from past games, he's been trying to teach his son how to avoid bloodshed by using non-lethal attacks. The stakes are high when your father decides not to kill you when battling evil trolls but instead relies on clever tricks as well as crafting gear in order to fight off monsters who come out at nightfall! One way this is accomplished is through stealth mode which allows you to sneak up on enemies without being seen. Enemies now have clear patterns and weaknesses which means that if you use patience and strategy, you should be able to take them down without having any risk of injury. It's unclear what kind of weapons we'll get our hands on this time around but given Kratos' preference for blades, I'm guessing swords might not be in the mix - or maybe there's a few hidden under his fur cloak. As far as release date goes, so far only 'November' has been mentioned with no other specifics provided. That's all I've got for now but keep checking back because I'm sure there will be plenty more info coming soon!
One thing's for certain - A new God of War is always cause for celebration, and I cannot wait to find out more about Atreus and Kratos' motivations behind taking him on such challenging quests. And after seeing first hand just how beautiful Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to be, God of War can't possibly disappoint. Here's hoping I won't need to play too many hours each day just to calm my nerves before launch!

Relationship Between Kratos & Atreus
In the God of War series, Kratos is a Spartan warrior who becomes the servant of the Olympian Gods. After defeating Ares, the god of war, Kratos renounces his allegiance to the Olympians and becomes the new god of war. In God of War III, Kratos kills Zeus, ending the age of the Olympian gods. In 2018's God of War, Kratos has taken up residence in Midgard with his son Atreus. They set out on a journey together, learning from each other along the way. Kratos teaches Atreus how to hunt and fight; while Atreus teaches Kratos about the lore of their world, its inhabitants and its history. The two develop an unbreakable bond as father and son, facing many trials along their journey. As a young boy, Atreus is kidnapped by Baldur and must be rescued by Kratos. When his mother Faye dies protecting him from the fire giant Surtr, he has to step up and help stop her murderer.
It’s revealed that Atreus doesn’t want to know what happened to his mother because he fears it will break him down but we can see that he blames himself for her death because she protected him first. As they head towards Helheim where they intend to find Faye, they learn that she was killed in front of them by Surtr. To bring her back, they need to get Odin’s eye which is guarded by the dragon Níðhöggr. The mission goes south when Kratos loses his weapon. That’s when Atreus manages to get it back and slice off Níðhöggr’s tongue causing the dragon to retreat.
In order to retrieve Odin's eye, Kratos had to kill Mimir. Mimir had been guiding them all this time and without him they were lost. If they didn't get the eye, then Faye would remain trapped forever. During their final battle against Surtr, Kratos tries to protect Atreus again by taking most of the damage from Surtr's fiery strikes. Though successful at doing so, Kratos ends up dying in the process (since he didn't have any life force left). With only one hand left and no weapons to defend themselves with, Atreus makes a difficult decision...
