As they traverse these realms, they encounter new enemies and formidable threats, all while the forces of Asgard prepare for war. The duo is relentlessly pursued by Thor, the vengeful God of Thunder, and Freya, their former ally, who seek retribution for the deaths of their children caused by Kratos. With the dawn of Ragnarok approaching, Kratos and Atreus must grapple with their personal struggles and decide whether their safety or the fate of the realms is more important.
