GOW Ragnarok Trailer Analysis

God of War Ragnarok Trailer Analysis 

God of War Ragnarok finally got major details at the PlayStation Showcase on September 2021. Before we begin I’d like to say I haven’t played God of War 2018 yet. This trailer makes me want to go out and play it now though. The trailer (which will be linked in a comment below) starts with Kratos in a cave preparing a fire, then Atreus comes in with a deer. This showcases that Atreus can hunt by himself and that he is much older than he was in the first game. Atreus says that he is sick of hiding in these woods and wants to prepare for the upcoming war named Ragnarok. Kratos says he will not allow Atreus to pick a fight with gods, to which Atreus says he doesn’t want to fight anyone he just wants answers. We then see Freya fighting Kratos and Kratos on an ice sled. Presumably, a new way to traverse the icy lands. We then hear Atreus asking Kratos if there is anyone who can help them, Kratos takes this to mean Tyr - the old Norse god of war - but Tyr is dead… or is he? We then see presumably the new blacksmiths and weapon upgraders, in a new town full of life. A new grapple ability that can be used both in combat and out of combat. Also, a ground pound ability was shown. We then see Thor and his hammer Mjölnir looking ready to fight Kratos and Atreus. A cut to Kratos fighting what looks like a massive crocodile and then a centaur. Atreus hops on a new summon that looks similar to a horse and rides it into enemies. Our heroes finally meet Tyr who is in good health, Kratos asks him if he will join them, and then the screen cuts to the logo. Right before the trailer ends, we meet a girl who has been confirmed to be a giant by Sony Santa Monica. That’s it for the beautiful trailer of God of War Ragnarok. It’s coming to PS4 and PS5 at some point in the future. 

I hope you enjoyed and Game On!!
