God of War Ragnarok is Getting New Game Plus in 2023

Santa Monica Studio announced that a New Game Plus mode will come to God of War Ragnarok in Spring 2023.

[Orchard]

NG+ will be a nice addition, and will extend the legs this game has.

Looking forward to it.

[SonyStyled]

I think you’re getting disagrees because very few people believe you played the game at all. I can’t blame them either Orchard. I would also doubt you did too. Sure you’re looking forward to “it”, but few would believe you played it. I’m looking forward to NG+ too, but I haven’t played the new one yet either, or finished 2018 fully. It’s there if I play it.

Apparently it’s a pretty good game

[sagapo]

Downvoting based on the person instead of what someone states is just childish.

[Thundercat77]

That's nice as I would like to play a second time with a different Stat build. I haven't finished the game yet but what an amazing ride. Truly a master piece.

[SullysCigar]

Same here. Special games should always get New Game Plus mode, because often when you complete it you just crave more!

[neutralgamer1992]

I just finished it 2 nights ago and maybe it's just me but the last 20% of the game was a huge letdown and it felt like content was either cut or rushed

I am a OG GOW fan and honestly I think 2018 GOW was much more focused and better when it comes to story

First GOW was special but IMO the 2 games where Cory barlog led (GOW-2 AND GOW 2018() are the best games in the series

Also with the amount of lose ends they should make few big DLC expansions. It felt like in Mass effect 3 we were preparing and then all of a sudden the ending really did not matter and God of War Ragnarok pretty much gave the same feeling towards the end. Why was it so rushed

[Knushwood Butt]

If you mean you beat the story then stick around for 100% completion because there's a lot of additional lore, information, and surprises to be found.

[neutralgamer1992]

I did all post story content and side missions too. It's an excellent games no doubt but maybe I was expecting more. I think this conversation could be had once more games have played it so that spiders aren't an issue

Cory barlog is just special IMO and can't wait to see where he takes kratos next

[Knushwood Butt]

OK, fair enough. I personally loved playing through the endgame stuff, and was pretty amazed how much additional stuff they added.

[Inverno]

That's because instead of fleshing the story of Ragnarok through out 3 games they rushed to end it in 2. More so disappointing after you read through just how much more interesting Ragnarok is compared to what they wrote for this game.

[neutralgamer1992]

People just dislike if anyone brings up something negative about their games. But TBH I think a trilogy would have done the game more justice

Ragnarok was built up as this big things yet for all the preparation a log of that stuff was happening in the background instead of playing through it or witnessing it

This series is so big that Sony should have built 2 separate teams who are working on 2 games at once. This way there is not a wait in between of 4-5 years

[Blaze929]

2018's GOW was definitely more focused. The fact they have to wait until Spring for a feature that should've been there at launch is interesting and leads us to believe this was rushed.

Been playing GOW since the 1st title on PS2 and I fully agree. I beat the game, no intentions of playing this a 2nd time.

Maybe if DLC comes but I heard they said there are no plans

[neutralgamer1992]

No DLC planned which is a missed opportunity in my opinion. About the new game plus feature I kind of agree. Could it be that all those delayed rumors were true but Sony didn't want the blowback so they just released the game without another 6-9 months delay?

There are few characters who can get their own mini stories and it would take 12-18 months to finish those DLC expansions

[Levii_92]

Yeah the finale was a disappointment to me too you are not the only one, this game wasn’t hype at all for a supposed last chapter in the Norse saga in fact this game is kinda of anti hype. Hey remember God of War 3 everyone ? And also Ironwood was one of the worst sections i’ve ever played in a video game and i’ve finished Last of us part 2.

[Knushwood Butt]

Ironwood was the only part in the game where I felt it dragged, and I couldn't wait to get out of that sectionalism to get on with doing other things. It looked phenomenal though.

[neutralgamer1992]

Loki gameplay is very basic and for the amount of playtime he gets I believe his gameplay should have been deeper and more satisfying

[Knushwood Butt]

I felt he was a bit OP to be honest.

[Sonic1881]

It might come out around the same time as Horizon Forbidden West DLC

[Aloymetal]

Cool, just what I wanted to hear.

[TheKingKratos]

Amazing news
My favourite game of the year got even better

[CobraKai]

I’ll prolly finish the game by the time the NG+ rolls out

[-Foxtrot]

Good move by them, just a damn shame I've 100% it.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Same. Platinum’d. Moving on to Chained Echoes which I’m stoked to play. I’m bad about getting into DLC or NG+, especially after the amount of time I sink into these bigger titles. GOWR was about 53 hours to fully complete.

[Demetrius]

Still taking my precious time with this gem the exploration is a dream come true for this series I’m so glad they realized us fans used to crave for options to go back to previous areas, I been playing biomutant too sucha good game also just got the godfather game on ps2 again after all these years

[XboxSwitchPS5Gamer]

Best game this year and it's my Game of the Year 2022. Look forward to 3rd reboot series of God of War. Well done to Santa Monica Studio!!

[Hofstaderman]

SPOILER

The first pre credits scene in the cave really choked me up. As a dad it hits you in the feels. The post game content also has a few surprises which is a must. Can’t wait for new game plus as I’m anticipating they will shuffle around enemies and set new weapon and armour caps.

[obidanshinobi]

lol.
Man up princess.

[StarkR3ality]

@obidan

Shut up you nob.

[StarkR3ality]

This game is that good that I wanted to play the entire series again, but I'm holding off on that until I whittle my backlog down a bit as 2023 is going to be crazy for new releases!

Can't give SSM enough praise though, game of the gen so far for me.

[obidanshinobi]

Why?
It's a one and done game.
The world isn't open and interesting enough to have to slog through it again.

[Levii_92]

Wait in Spring ?? What ? 😂

[OGTigerleee]

Easily my GOTY. Still haven't had the chance to work on the 'post' game content as is. But I love this one is getting NG+ like the last one. I still have that experience waiting for me as well after all the years. So I definitely plan on doing a NG+ back to back for both games.

[MADGameR]

I haven't even gotten close to beating the game...still at the very beginning. I'm still trying to beat RE8 Gold Shadow of Rose DLC, then I will beat GOW Rag, then The Callisto Protocol. I'm very behind because of work X__X
