It’s been a while since Sony teased us about the next installment in Kratos’ story. Earlier this year a first look at God of War: Ragnarok showed us a father and son searching for Tyr, the war god of Norse mythology. In the new trailer unveiled at the State of Play event in Septemberthey have apparently found him, as he questions their motives, their quest, and what they even know about the so-called Deity.
It’s a trailer that teases a complex story in which Kratos seems to follow his son’s lead this time around. Together they will determine whether they are bound by fate and prophecy, or determine their own destiny – all as they march through a parade of stunning visuals and fast-paced combat wielding well-known weapons such as the Blades of Chaos and Leviathan Axe.
Between the story hints and action, the trailer certainly teases what looks like a worthy successor to 2018 god of war – but as if that weren’t enough to convince you to pick up the game when it launches on November 9, Sony is hoping a special limited-edition controller can do the trick. The God of War Ragnarok DualSense Wireless Controller is a blue and white case decorated with a wolf and a bear. The two-tone design is so subtle that you probably wouldn’t even recognize it as a God of War tie at a glance. On the other hand, it’s not uncomfortably ugly either.
God of War: Ragnarok, and the limited edition gamepad, will both be available on November 9. Pre-orders for the controller open on September 27.
