The release date for God Of War Ragnarok is finally here, and players will be able to jump into the next chapter of Kratos and Atreus’ story on November 9, 2022.
After the news was reportedly meant to break on June 30, and didn’t, fans went more than a little crazy to the point of harassing developers, causing Sony Santa Monica to release a public statement.
Today however, the news was simply dropped on the PlayStation Blog and on Twitter, with a short CG trailer that teases at what elements of Norse mythology will continue to be implemented.
You can check out the trailer here:
The different editions of the game were also finally revealed, including two different collector’s edition variants. Altogether, there’s the Launch Edition, Standard Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, Collector’s Edition and a Jötnar Edition.
