Williams has worked on every God of War title so far, so he seems a logical choice for the job.
We did learn in a post-show interview that Eric Williams, a longtime Santa Monica Studio veteran will be directing God of War Ragnarök, rather than Cory Barlog, who helmed the 2018 title. Sony unfortunately didn't have a release date to share a year ago, the company said God of War Ragnarök would arrive in 2021, but the blog post said "see you next year" at its end. But the familiar boat returns, as does the disembodied head Mimir, so get ready for more story time and cutting remarks about Kratos' perpetually grumpy mood. Unsurprisingly, the game looks fantastic, with a variety of new environments and enemies as well as more ways to use Kratos' Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos. Particularly intriguing is the news that veteran actor Richard Schiff ( The West Wing) will play Odin, king of the Norse gods. We only saw brief teases of each character, but both characters have lost family to Kratos and Atreus, and they seem about as thirsty for revenge as Kratos used to be when he was a Greek god.

As noted in an extensive blog post about the new game, a lot of the conflict seems to come from Atreus trying to understand what his now-dead mother wanted for him, after it was revealed he was part-giant at the end of the first game. But he's definitely fighting it, while Atreus sounds like the one who is more convinced that full-on war is necessary here. His son, Atreus, looks like he's grown up in the last few years, and he's challenging his dear old dad's decisions as well as proving to be a more capable fighter.Īs for the game's story, it looks to be setting up a conflict with the Norse pantheon of gods - just as Kratos destroyed all of the Greek gods in the first trilogy of games, he might be on that path again here. As expected, it look like God of War, with the familiar dual-weapon wielding that Kratos excelled at in the 2018 game. The title of the post and some photos have also been updated.It's been about a year since Sony first said that God of War Ragnarök was officially on its way, and today we're finally getting our first look at the game. Intended to release in 2021, the developer has pushed the release window to 2022.
Updated July 21, 2021, by Avery Lawrence Feyrer: Since this post, Santa Monica Studios has announced a delay for God of War: Ragnarok. Kratos and Atreus' last adventure introduced fans to a handful of Norse gods, including Baldur, Mimir, and Freya, but there are many other deities Kratos hasn't met yet that may make an appearance in the next game. Unfortunately for Kratos, Midgard is ruled by the Norse pantheon of gods, who don't like the idea of Kratos taking up residence in their realm. RELATED: Magnificent Pieces Of God Of War Artwork

After fighting (and killing) most of the Greek gods of Olympus, the 2018 reboot of the series sees Kratos trying to live a quiet life in the realm of Midgard with his son, after the death of his wife Faye. So while fans wonder when Kratos's next adventure will be, let's take a look at who he might face off against this time around. The much-anticipated God of War: Ragnarok was originally intended to release sometime in 2021, but Santa Monica Studios announced the sequel will be pushed back to 2022.
