After the first part’s huge success, Santa Monica returned with another satisfying sequel, God of War 2 (2007), which later expanded into God of War 3 (2010). After providing a satisfying conclusion to Kratos’ journey in the Greek saga, the game series returned with God of War (2018) for PlayStation 4. The title continued Ghost of Sparta’s story in Norse lore and legend.
God of War Ragnarök lands now as the newest title available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Eric Williams added his directorial vision to God of War Ragnarök, with the very talented Cory Barlog joining as producer.
For those unfamiliar, Barlog directed the 2018 title, which garnered high praise for its story and obviously for its gameplay and graphics. Christopher Judge and Sunny Suljic returned as the voice of Kratos and Atreus. Bear McCreary also returned to provide the adrenaline-inducing background score.
