God of War Ragnarök is an upcoming action-adventure video game featuring hack and slash mechanics, slated for release in 2022. Developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, it serves as a sequel to 2018’s God of War. The game follows the journey of Kratos and his son, Atreus, as they confront Ragnarök, the prophesied end of all things in Norse mythology.
Premise
Former Spartan warrior Kratos and his son Atreus traverse the Nine Realms of Norse mythology in search of answers about Atreus’s destiny as Loki and how to prevent Ragnarök. Meanwhile, the forces of Asgard prepare for a cataclysmic war. Along the way, they seek out Týr, the ancient Norse God of War presumed dead, while encountering new enemies and threats.
Kratos and Atreus are haunted by Thor, the vengeful God of Thunder, and Freya, their former ally turned adversary, both seeking retribution for the deaths of their kin at Kratos’s hands. As the dawn of Ragnarök approaches, they must choose between personal safety and the fate of the realms.

The narrative revolves around Kratos and Atreus’s quest to unravel the prophecy of “Loki” and his pivotal role in Ragnarök.
