God of War Ragnarok: Everything We Know So Far

After an initial delay that put God of War Ragnarok in a 2022 launch window, Sony Santa Monica studios has announced it will officially be released on November 9, 2022. The news came by way of a surprise drop of a short 'Father and Son' cinematic trailer(opens in new tab), showing Kratos and Atreus facing up against a very large wolf.

The God of War Ragnarok reveal trailer gave us a good idea of what to expect from the story. Years have passed since the end of 2018's God of War, evidenced by an older, more confident Atreus whose giant genes are starting to show.

Together father and son must face the impending Ragnarok - the legendary Norse version of an apocalypse - facing the enemies they made in God of War like Freya, new ones like Thor, and all as Kratos wrestles with his son's rebellious streak and his knowledge of who Atreus really is. The story will take place across the Nine Realms - you only saw six in God of War - adding Vanaheim, Svartalfheim, and Asgard to the mix.

The trailer also introduces some intriguing new characters like Angrboda, who developer Sony Santa Monica has said is "one of the last remaining giants." That big guy at the end? That's Tyr, son of Odin, half-brother of Thor and Baldur, but imprisoned by his own father and so likely to want to settle the score with daddy.

If you've finished God of War but need a reminder of the ending to get up to speed, keep reading...

**SPOILERS FOR 2018's GOD OF WAR AHEAD**

Seriously, spoilers. At the end of 2018's God of War Kratos and Atreus discover that Faye, AKA Mrs Kratos, was actually a giant called Laufey, making Atreus half god and half-giant, and with another name: Loki. Yes, that Loki, the one from Norse mythology who is often portrayed as a trickster, sometimes with shapeshifting abilities. God of War played pretty fast and loose with Norse mythology but could offer some hints as to what's to come.

Once that big revelation is out of the way, we're told Fimbulwinter is coming. If you skipped your Norse mythology class – shame on you – then know that this is a three-year 'great winter' that proceeds Ragnarok, the Norse apocalypse.

Post credits, there's a second ending when you return home and, there, Thor appears 'several years later'. It's a brief tease, ending after Kratos asks him what he wants. It could be that Thor wants revenge for that whole Kratos 'killing his sons' thing, or, he might want his help stopping Ragnarok.

NBA 2K23 Teases PS5 Gameplay with First Look Trailer

The full NBA 2K23 gameplay details will dribble into a Courtside Report next week, but here’s your first look at the PS5 version of the basketball sim – in cinematic format, of course. We can infer a few things from this: it looks like some players have brand new face scans, while there appears to be a new half-time show. The benches also seem more responsive to what’s occurring on the court, while the crowd animations look further enhanced.

Outside of that, it’s difficult to glean too much more from the 80-second clip. Personally, we’d like to see the overall pace of the series improved: we enjoyed NBA 2K22 at the time, but the repetitive cutscenes really begin to break the flow after a while – and when you pair that with the endless traversal in MyCareer, it feels like the game is often getting in its own way.
