The father and son must forge their destiny together in the midst of the end of the world (Ragnarok) while trying to defy fate in this brand-new action-adventure game.
It is a bold redirection of the series and was met with universal acclaim from critics and fans alike. God of War Ragnarok is also the final entry in the Norse saga for Kratos. The game was developed by Santa Monica Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The exclusive first-party title features improved combat and gameplay over its predecessor.
