God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-gen release for the series. It is the ninth installment in the God of War saga, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and features series protagonist Kratos and his teenage son Atreus. Concluding the Norse era of the series, the game covers Ragnarök, the eschatological event that is central to Norse mythology and was predicted to happen in the previous game after Kratos slays the Æsir god Baldur.

The gameplay is similar to the previous installment from 2018. It features combo-based combat, as well as puzzle and RPG elements. The gameplay has been revamped from the previous game: in addition to Kratos' main weapons, a magical battle ax and his double-chained swords, he also acquires a magical spear and his shield has become more versatile, with different types of shields. They have different offensive and defensive abilities. His son Atreus, as well as a few other characters, provide assistance in combat and can be passively controlled. Additionally, and for the first time in the series, there are some story missions in which the player takes full control of Atreus; His gameplay is similar to Kratos, but he uses his magic bow as a weapon. There are also more types of enemies and mini-bosses than in the previous game. Originally scheduled for a 2021 release, the game was delayed in part due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Kratos actor Christopher Judge's development and health issues in August 2019.

Ragnarök garnered universal acclaim from critics, and was praised for its storytelling, characters, visuals, level design, and general gameplay improvements over its predecessor. It won Game of the Year at the Titanium Awards and was nominated for the same award at The Game Awards 2022, where it won Best Narrative, Best Action/Adventure and Innovation in Accessibility, among other awards and nominations. The game was a commercial success, selling 5.1 million units in its first week, making it the best-selling first-party game in PlayStation history.

God of War Ragnarök is a third-person action-adventure video game. It features a free over-the-shoulder camera, while cinematically, the game is presented in one continuous shot, with no camera cutouts or loading screens. The gameplay is similar to the previous installment, God of War (2018), and like that game, it is single player only. Throughout the game, players battle Norse mythological enemies, with more types of enemies than in the previous game. In addition to the enemies found in the previous game, some newer enemy types include Einherjars, wyverns, stalkers (centaur-like creatures with antlers), ghosts, human raiders, and nokkens, among many others.2 The developers also added more mini-bosses to give more variety to the game.3456

The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat and puzzle gameplay elements. Kratos' primary weapons are a magical battle ax called the Leviathan Axe, and his double-chained swords, the Blades of Chaos. He also has a shield, the original version of which is called the Guardian's Shield. Kratos also uses melee combat. The Leviathan Ax is imbued with ice elemental magic. It can be thrown at enemies and magically summoned back into your hand, similar to Thor's hammer Mjölnir. The weapon can also be thrown at environmental objects to trigger a damaging explosion and freeze objects and some enemies in place to solve puzzles until called back. The Blades of Chaos, infused with fire elemental magic, are a pair of swords attached to chains that can be swung in various maneuvers. A new mechanic for Ragnarök is that the blades can also be used as a grappling hook to traverse chasms. They can also be used to pick up and throw items at enemies. Kratos also gains a new weapon called the Spear of Draupnir, a short and long-range attack spear that is infused with wind elemental magic and can make copies of itself; for example, Kratos can throw multiple spears at an enemy and then have them all explode at once. Each weapon has standard light and heavy attacks. They can be upgraded with runes to allow runic magic attacks, with slots for light and heavy magic attacks, providing players with a variety of options for their style.
