Story and Themes

At the heart of God of War Ragnarök is the father-son relationship between Kratos and Atreus. Set a few years after the events of the previous game, the story follows their efforts to prevent (or survive) the prophesied end of the world — Ragnarök. As tensions rise across the Nine Realms, new threats emerge, including the vengeful goddess Freya and the powerful gods Thor and Odin.

The narrative explores deep themes such as fate, identity, grief, and the burden of legacy. Atreus, now a teenager, begins to question his destiny as “Loki” while Kratos wrestles with his violent past and his desire to be a better father.

Gameplay and Combat

The gameplay builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, enhancing both the combat and exploration. Kratos retains his Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos, and new abilities, runes, and weapons are introduced. The combat feels heavier and more refined, offering more strategic depth and faster pacing.
