it won’t receive a major expansion this year

Sony Santa Monica Studio will not touch the adventures of Kratos and Atreus between the two holidays.

It has been almost two months since God of War: Ragnarök was released on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The game was a hit in the eyes of both critics and gamers, and therefore Sony can easily call this game a blockbuster (never mind how strange the company’s strategy is), and therefore, of course, you have to wait at least a year for PC-n to be released (this period was mentioned by Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, who previously headed Guerrilla Games), but at that point there will also be the New Game + mode.

The game mode, abbreviated to NG+, is appearing in more and more AAA games these days. The essence of this is that we play all the way first and then we can start over with most of our equipment and skills, but we have to do it on a higher difficulty level. This was not originally part of the new God of War, but it is certain that Santa Monica Studio has listened to the requests, because the studio On Twitter confirmed that this gap will be filled in 2023.

Also, New Game+ will arrive in the spring, so the update could arrive between March and May, and if the developers follow the custom, the story will start again, keeping our skills, armor, weapons and more. Of course, the studio hasn’t said anything about it yet, as they will only reveal how Kratos and his son will get the new game mode closer to release. More recently, God of War: Ragnarök received a photo mode (we also reported this) and some bugs were also fixed (going off the track, getting stuck, removing obstacles that appear while progressing missions…) .

So it’s still worth the wait. Of course, we ask if the player who completes the game on the hardest level will get the same level? (It will be a trophy, we don’t contest it… but how will the level of the challenge change?)
