God of War Ragnarok Announced With New Teaser Trailer

Sony has announced God of War Ragnarok! The trailer was revealed as the capper to today's PS5 showcase event.

[Ben Dover]

YES OMG! I CAME EVERYWHERE!!!!

[solideagle]

I wish they could have shown in game Kratos Model :p

[FATAL1TY]

GOW Ragnarok + $399 = Fatality!

[TripleAAARating]

People, if Demon's Souls remake looks THAT friggin good.................... there is no imagining what Ragnarok would look like 😰.... I'm scared...

[bouzebbal]

PS5 starting really......like REAAAALLLY strong!!! Number of confirmed high quality games is just staggering 😲

[pwnmaster3000]

This really surprised me. Out of no where.

[zackeroniii]

LMFAOO!!!

cory barlog really took 3 years to make a sequel to god of war 2018 it's really insane.

he either was already working on it alongside GOW 2018 or he just started work on it immediately after GOW 2018.

either way Cory is an instant legend for this!

just...WOWZERZZZ

the competition doesn't stand a chance and the generation didn't even start yet JUST WOW

[darthv72]

i think I recall him saying all the time to create the PS4 version was based around building a foundation that future iterations of the game could be built on. Thus the groundwork for making the PS5 version was already available by the time the PS4 one was wrapping up. So they would be able to churn out the sequel in less time and with more fidelity.

[bouzebbal]

Yes we're still trying to recover from this year's rhythm of exclusives from Sony that they are willing to smash the next gen before it starts.. PS4 was revealed with killzone only.. Competition couldn't stand a chance.. Now with what we saw and what was revealed until now and good of War in 2021already is incredible commitment

[Plagasx]

ME TOO MAN ME TOO. I JUST BOUGHT THIS KEYBOARD TOO!

[medman]

Given that God of War came out in 2018 and we're getting Ragnorok in 2021, along with Horizon Forbidden West, I think it's fairly safe to assume the new God of War will be cross gen just as Horizon is. It's not ideally what I want, but I will play the hell out of both of those games and enjoy them anyway. I really don't understand how Sony got some of their marketing wrong though. They implicitly stated they believed in generations and that ps5 games would not be cross gen, but it appears that at least for games releasing in 2020 and 2021, that is not the case. Hard to understand how they screwed that up given how long games take to develop...they would have known all along they were being co-developed for ps4 and ps5.

[GoodGuy09]

Cory Barlog you madman...

[solideagle]

I called it but 2021 OMG! so pumped up for GOW.

[RememberThe357]

What you follow Barlog on Twitter too?

[Sitdown]

I don't think you called it, you said all they need to do is show it, calling it would mean saying, they are going to show it. Then on top of that, the internet didn't melt down. Soo....

[AngelicIceDiamond]

It will be joining Forbidden West also come 2021. Another year another games domination.

[Zodiac]

Will this really be 2021 if by the end of 2020 all they can tell us is that it exists? Bayo 3 and Metroid Prime 4 vibes. Would have to be by the end of 2021 at the very least.

[mkis007]

They already have so much shown for 2021...I think a teaser is perfect for hype generation. The fact they made that teaser date with the current climate in the world means they probably will hit it.

[--Onilink--]

This barely counts as a teaser trailer. Its a logo trailer, just as dumb of a trailer as it was with Metroid Prime 4 and just slightly worse than the still horrible cgi trailers like the ones used in the xbox conference

You knew gow2 was coming before this trailer and after this trailer you know exactly the same (other than a vague 2021 date which given Sony’d track record, will be pushed back -and the game will be better for it so no complains there-)

[RememberThe357]

You already forgot Horizon is set for 2021 too? How much you wanna bet we're getting Horizon in spring/early summer and GoW in fall/early winter?

And all we know is what they've shown. We have no clue what they "can" show. If it's slated for next year the game is probably already playable from start to finish.

[LOGICWINS]

Is this Part 2 or an expansion?

[amazingmax7]

It's most likely a new game. So yeah, Part 2.

[-Ghost]

Definitely part 2 towards this new trilogy

[LOGICWINS]

Wow! Then what Cerny said about the PS5 cutting dev time is true then!

[AnnaDea]

Cory Balrog said the next one will not take 5 years to make.

GoW was released in April 2018.

[RightFootGames]

I can see through your sarcasm that's my downvote.

You realize that tons of games get yearly releases, so why are you acting like 3.5-4 years to make a sequel is so outrageous?

[Gamerking82]

Nice loved the remake. So 2021 so with all the expected delays about a 2023 release date.

[Gamerking82]

Don’t know why the downvotes , do u chums really think it’s coming neat year ?. Oh bless ya all .

[Gamerking82]

Look I am a huge ps fan . But by the downvoted a guess you all are attached to Sony by the teets. Suck away nerds suck away . But still NO WAy God Of war next year . Look at this gen for an eye watering example ! .

[RaidenBlack]

It a Reboot sort of, definitely not Remake.

[sourOG]

HA! People laughed and mocked me when I said god of war 2 was going to launch on ps5. “Way too soon bro”. Going to be sick! Called it!

[Zodiac]

It isn't launching, though.

[sourOG]

2021 is the launch.

[Viking_mo]

2021 release* you're getting the words mixed up

[sourOG]

What I mean is people were saying 2023 and shit like that. I said it would come out the first year, the “launch year”. They said I wasn’t even close. I’m not mixing up words. Y’all are just on some “well actually... it’s not releasing on day one” corny shit lol.

[--Onilink--]

A game that comes out 1 year after the console comes out is not a “launch” game.... and that’s assuming it doesnt get delayed to 2022, which is fairly common for first party Sony games to be delayed to ensure they are the best possible quality.

[sourOG]

Why isn’t it? Is that how game companies work? Sony just builds up their line up each year and releases everything on January first? No. Releases are panned throughout the year. There is rhyme and reason. Their first year is the launch year for the next 7 years.

It could be delayed that’s true. I doubt it though. I knew it was coming when there wasn’t any dlc. In an interview he said that they already knocked out the hard shit like the camera. I wouldn’t be surprised if they took a couple weeks after going gold and then went straight back to work. I also wouldn’t be surprised if a big chunk was cut out of the first game for a serious head start. The 2023 shit was always a ridiculous statement.

[--Onilink--]

Because its not coming out at launch, even Sony itself is giving out a list of the launch games, which obviously doesnt include God of War.

You are just arbitrarily coming up with the term “launch year” like its a real thing. Something coming out on December 2021 isnt even coming out on the first year of the console, by then it would already be starting the 2nd year

[sourOG]

Y’alls butthurt semantic bullshit is hilarious. “Well ackshuley there is a list guy”. Yeah I’m just making up how games companies plan releases throughout the year you idiot lol. Game companies go by quarters and annuals. The first year of the console is the launch.

[--Onilink--]

YOU are talking about semantics when you are trying to make up the term “launch year” just so you can include a game that comes out 12 months later as a “launch game” ? haha

[sourOG]

I am not nitpicking shit lol. Y’all are the ones with OCD over a word. Okay let’s put it this way. When do the “console sales for launch” end to you? When you hear “console sales at launch” what do you think that is? The first day it came out and only that day?

[sourOG]

@shaggy
That’s fair I would agree the first 3-4 months or quarter would be considered the console launch. The point was to break this guy out of his “the launch is the first day only” mindset. The “list” mindset.Does Sony consider the first quarter the launch? No, their first year is their launch. They have a year of games lined up for the launch of their new system. Including god of war, which I have called.

[talocaca]

Wow.....I did NOT expect this rumor to be true! Specially the 2021 release date 👏👏👏

[RazzerRedux]

2021? You got to be kidding me! This is why you buy PlayStation!

[Fishy Fingers]

This is when I'll pick one up. I'd of loved a snippet of something, but the voice was enough.

[AnnaDea]

Fuck man.

Both God of War and Horizon next year.

[jBlakeeper]

2021?! OMG

[Mr_Luke]

Damn!!! Yesssss!!!! :D

[mandf]

Day one buy. No other game do I want more.

[S2Killinit]

HOLY GUACAMOLE!

[GameZenith]

It will be delayed to 2022.

[jbull]

MY GOD, Sony just laid the Smackdown on Microsoft and Phil loudmouth Spencer. Thats a mic drop, please take note Phil.

[hayden3]

Are we sure this game is called god of war ragnarök?

[mgszelda1]

It should be fimblewinter in my opinion.

[goldwyncq]

It’s what the runes in the logo reveal spell out.

[dRanzer]

I hope it doesn't get rush
I mean the last was in development almost five years and this maybe three
But i trust Cory and SMS

[whitbyfox]

Probably DLC like SpiderMan PS5.

[Minute Man 721]

Need those epic boss fights that the GoD is known for in this next chapter.

[Minute Man 721]

Announce that CE already 😎

[ironmonkey]

Omg this is fuckin amazing sony killed it!

[Ezio2048]

I have never been more excited. This will literally be Game of the Year 2021. No game can stop it.

[LucidIllusion]

Oh..
