Free downloadable content (DLC) for God of War Ragnarök, titled “God of War Ragnarök Valhalla,” is set to be released this month. The announcement was made during The Game Awards, following the return of Kratos’ voice actor, Christopher Judge, to the stage. Developed by Sony Santa Monica, this DLC, available on the PS5 from December 12th, continues the storyline after the final battle of God of War Ragnarök.
God of War Ragnarök Valhalla brings players into the gaming world alongside Kratos and his bodyless companion, Mimir. Together, they embark on a journey through dungeons teeming with monsters. The DLC introduces roguelike elements, adding a unique twist to the gameplay. Upon Kratos’s death, players will witness his resurrection outside the gates of Valhalla, providing an opportunity to tackle its challenges once more.
Sony emphasized that each attempt in the game offers an opportunity for players to learn and adapt to the challenges within Valhalla. Overcoming obstacles results in the accumulation of resources that can be utilized for permanent upgrades affecting both Kratos and the Valhalla environment itself.
The game’s blog shared, “During each attempt, you will learn and adapt to the challenges Valhalla has to offer. The more you overcome, the more resources you’ll gain that can be put towards permanent upgrades that affect both Kratos and even Valhalla itself.”
Considering Kratos’ history of defying death and navigating through challenging situations, the prospect of facing the afterlife again may not be as daunting for the character.
Geoff Keighley, the host of The Game Awards, expressed that the free DLC serves as a gift to the gaming community from the developers of God of War. The surprise release just a few days before Christmas adds an extra element of excitement for players.
God of War Ragnarök Valhalla promises an engaging experience with its blend of action, mythology, and the enduring journey of Kratos. The addition of free DLC extends the game’s narrative and provides players with new challenges and adventures to explore. As players progress through the challenges, they can enhance Kratos’s abilities and impact the Valhalla environment.
The announcement generated buzz and anticipation among the gaming community, with fans eager to delve into the new storyline and discover the mysteries that await Kratos in Valhalla. The success of the DLC release is likely to be measured not only by its narrative richness but also by the engagement and feedback from the gaming community.
In summary, the God of War Ragnarök Valhalla DLC, set to release this month, expands the epic saga of Kratos and Mimir, offering players an immersive experience with roguelike elements and the chance for permanent upgrades. The surprise release close to Christmas adds an extra layer of excitement, turning it into a special gift for fans of the God of War series.
