God of War: Ragnarok: Name Official and Barlog Not Game Director

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök (( pay attention); Old Norse: Ragnarǫk [ˈrɑɣnɑˌrɔk], 'Fate of the Gods') is a series of events, including a terrific battle, foretold to bring about the fatality of a variety of terrific numbers (consisting of the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, as well as Loki), all-natural disasters as well as the submersion of the world in water. After these events, the world will resurface once more as well as abundant, the enduring as well as returning gods will certainly satisfy and also the globe will certainly be repopulated by 2 human survivors. Ragnarök is a vital occasion in Norse folklore as well as has actually been the topic of academic discussion as well as concept in the background of Germanic research studies.

The event is confirmed largely in the Poetic Edda, assembled in the 13th century from earlier standard sources and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Prose Edda and also in a solitary rhyme in the Poetic Edda, the occasion is described as Ragnarøkkr [ˈrɑɣnɑˌrøkːz̠] (Old Norse for 'Golden of the Gods'), an usage popularised by 19th-century author Richard Wagner with the title of the last of his Der Ring des Nibelungen operas, Götterdämmerung (1876 ), which is Twilight of the Gods in German.

Now it is official: The new part of God of War was - as almost expected - under the name God of War: Ragnarok (or the German version Ragnarök) published. That went out of the new trailer, which was shown at the PlayStation Showcase and, etc., an encounter with Thor and clashes with Freya has chosen. In addition, the final name was confirmed in a later conversation with leaders of Sony Santa Monica.

There also came to the language that Corey Barlog after the PS2 game God of War 2 and the last God of was not again the role of Game Director, but will only be involved as a producer. Instead, Eric Williams has the scepter in the hand, who has been working in the studio for a long time and has been involved in any previously published God of had been in different roles. At the same time you want to trace the tradition at the same time, for each part of the series to occupy a new Game Director to promote new perspectives and ideas. The exception is actually only Barlog, which has taken the direction in two games.

Stylistically, one wants to constitute the Nordic gods like Thor or Odin other than it was the case mostly especially in the films of Marvel. In terms of content, the relationship between Kratos and the older Atreus will play a central role, which is looking for answers about his identity and wants to rush into the new adventure, while Kratos wants to go out of the way to the threatening conflict with the Nordic gods .

That the ambitions do not rise, is already clear in the game scenes, in which the duo must put various monsters and share properly - be it with the well-tried ax or new rune magic.

In the predecessor one visited only six of the nine worlds within Nordic mythology, one will travel here all locations. In addition to new areas in already well-known realms, one will explore the areas of Vanaheim, Svartalfheim and Asgard for the first time. The subtitle Ragnarök also does not come from approximately: the saying of history and downfall of the gods, which finally means the end of the world, will be the focus. Therefore, it has already been emphasized that the new God of was the final of the chapter around Nordic mythology.

God of War: Ragnarök is to be released 2022 for PS5 and also the PlayStation 4.
