First Look At God Of War Ragnarök’s Svartalfheim Level | Exclusive Gameplay
Lead level designer James Riding and level designer Jon Hickenbottom spoke with me about their experience crafting the points of interest, with the former saying, “We wanted to evolve the gameplay in the level spaces – more variety and verticality. In Svartalfheim, you’ve got a lot of places that you go to all within one realm. It’s so much content.”

4 days for another 30 second look is exactly what we need….
Can't wait to play this I beat the last God Of War almost 3 times got the platinum trophy for 100% completion and plan to do the same on Ragnarok every month we have a new game to play finally we're getting games to play its been boring with nothing new to really play.
Great ! I want this game to be huge with lots to explore

Can't wait for this 30 sec gameplay with repeated scenes. HYPED AF

God of War 2018 DLC
Can't wait for this 30 sec gameplay with repeated scenes. HYPED AF
I can't fucking believe they took out those amazing QTE in boss fights in exchange for some boring AF cutscenes while keeping the worst type of QTE of the industry in the game. God of War used to be the king of QTE's, one of the feel franchises that made it right and enjoable… now…. 0:54. God I hope this game is good, because so far is not looking interesting at all.
*The realm of the dwarfs looks amazing *
I can't wait to see the new 10 second gameplay footage of Svartalhiem!
This game looks so beautiful
Worst exclusive game cover ever made. 30sec Gameplay videos? Really, at this point don't even bother dude…
the volumetric clouds look sick !
The graphics are really stunning. The geysirs on the other hand are looking rather outdated compared to the rest.
Goddamn, I just hope they didn't rush the creation of this game. Its supposed to be seen as the best game of 2022
De los mejores juegos que me ha enganchado y encima no solo por su jugabilidad si no por su historia , grande Kratos en su historia vikinga
I can't wait to see the new 10 second gameplay footage of Svartalhiem!
Will we be seeing PS4 gameplay? I don’t have the funds for a ps5 and don’t want to waste $60 for a half assed last gen port
i will play this game.
Love it can't wait hopefully my ps5 arrives before the release date
0:48 that is awesome
I really love the steam punk aesthetic of the Dwarves from God Of War Ragnarök.
Atreus looks like a mannequin when hes sitting in the boat, I hope they fix that
@the7kmaster bhai explain in hindi 🥺 plz
So disappointed, the graphics look like PS1 and Sony is going downhill. —- anyone trying to pick out something to argue about.
Ok, so now I remember why I don’t subscribe to Game Informer. 👎🏼
This game is going to be amazing I’m glad we’re gonna be able to explore all 9 realms
I thought the LOD system on the previous trailers looked really good, but there's some awful pop in evident on this at the beginning when he comes out of the tunnel, the whole background pops in light a light grey (possible mist) overlay??
this is strategy marketing from santa monica, how kratos enter svartalfheim, and one of new enemies is fishman?
💜
0:21 Popping
0:28 Volumetric fog
I hope they'll fix it
I've just started the 2018 one😂
I don't want Kratos to die.
What I want to see is different types of boss battles. I also want to see alot of other gods and they haven't teased anything
this minute and a half video shit is bullshit. we need at least 10 minutes of game play or more. i have a feeling this new director is gonna fuck this game up.
Why is Kratos ten times slower at rowing 💀💀💀
The old games had better gameplay. Gamers are easily fooled by shiny objects.
be an incredible game with incredible twists and turns.
Am i the only one who need the same gameplay of gow4 and continue the story
cant have. either way the game is coming out soon and it should be great.
Wish the game would be released in February
I hope the realms are bigger.I hope Muspelheim and Niflheim are very big.
Loved the first game. I am truly excited for the second game.
I like the npcs
This is shaping up to one off the most beautiful game of this year! I can not wait to play this!
Death can have me, when it earns me. Quote for a lifetime and game of the century. Kratos will kill Egyptian, Japanese and celestial God's after God of war Ragranok. Only after freeing humanity from tyranny of the God's, ashes of his family will leave and Kratos #Godkiller will rest.
There's a scene in God of war 2018 which confirms it. The necklace that Freya grabbed from Arrays was the mistletoe arrow that broke Baldur's spell. Kratos and Atreus starts the Ragnarok, when Atreus shot the arrow towards sun and one of the wolf Skoll started chasing sun that was epic. Other wolf Hati starting howling and will chase the moon and start the Ragnarok.
Odin shows up while Atrus was alone at home while Kratos would be far from home fighting Thor and Odin was very manipulative with his words throughout the trailer. First Odin try to manipulate Atreus telling him that if Ragranok happens then Kratos will die, and Odin also gave Atrus the balls while manipulating him, since Odin wants to control Ragranok.
But Kratos will change fate and Odin would have no clue that he was actually helping Ragranok arrive earlier, he puts the Atreus / Loki children's at the right place for Ragranok to actually happen. Odin gave Atreus girl Hel – Helheim where she fed on all the dead. Then for Fenrir Odin crafted an unbreakable chain and binded him but Kratos and Atreus will free him or something. For Jormungandr ( world serpent ) he made Thor cast him into the ocean which surrounds Midgard and during Ragranok Jormungandr will rise up to the earth eventually flodding it . That's why when Atreus shot the arrow towards sun Kratos was telling him "That fate only bind you if you let it – do what's necessary _ not what's written ".
Then Odin started talking to Kratos telling him that he was never loved , never worshiped to stop the Ragranok. Valkyrie doing combo wow, Kratos took the sword from other enemy and used it against him was cool. Kratos and Tyr shaking hands was another amazing moment. Kratos #Godkiller and Thor fighting alone was epic. We also saw world serpent between frozen waters in God of war Ragranok poster, which i think fire demon will come during Ragranok and World serpant would arise and Kratos will use his poison on his axe or other weapons and will kill Thor. I think Kratos dropping blades and Axe would be at the start of the game but not in Midgard but in Svartalfheim after his fight with Thor . As we will travel through all 9 realms in God of war Ragranok.
Dark elf was actually protecting Freyr and Kratos both. It's Freyr since i guess Freyr and her sister Freya controls the trees. Atreus is lucky he doesn't have the Kratos from God of war 1 to God of war 3 now Kratos is trying to set good example against his son Atreus but as Athena said in God of war 4 – 2018 Kratos will always be a monster. God of war Ragranok team just posted stuff like mentioning " you haven't seen anything yet ". Thor will be more sympathetic character and would not be one dimensional character, Odin will be the real villian.
Just imagine if Kratos see Atreus in danger and snaps to the Kratos of old from God of war 1, 2 and God of war 3 and decide to take Blade of Olympus to kill all the God's and i don't know but i have this feeling that we will also see Athena back in Ragranok since we saw her in God of war 4 2018. Kratos having blade of Olympus again and going after Odin and other God's would be so cool and may be he talk to Zeus again in the Game and Athena will also show up now that everyone knows Kratos is still alive.
We saw Kratos using old moveset from old God of war games when he grabbed mid air object and jumped and also when he use big stone attack, it would be so amazing to see old Kratos deciding to kill all Gods including Odin in Ragnarok would beyond epic. This game will we somewhere around 60 hours with 40 plus hours gameplay rest including cutscenes and might took 80 to 90 hours for normal gamer to complete and would be 90 GB.
That's not a mermaid but would be some kind of Sea Godess and glad to see under water gameplay again after so long after old God of war games. Atreus always wabter to be shape shifter so he might be that huge jellyfish. The fact that this trailer only reveals first 5 hours of the game gets me so hyped for this game but i really wanna see Athena and Zeus again as some part of this game. God of war 2018 is pretty much God of war 4 since we saw Zeus in God of war 2018 and at the end Kratos tells his son about his past, already pre-ordered Delux digital version. Would also like to see normal people in Midgard and impact of God's death in normal people life or life of people of Asgard.
Tyr visited Greece and in God of war 4 ( 2018 ) in Try temple we see Kratos art in the treasure and drink from Greece. Kratos at the end of God of war 3 release the power of the hope to help humans in Greece and that would eventually end the flood and people of Greece could start their life again. May be Tyr also helped Greek people during that time and that's how he knows about Kratos and that's why he mentioned Kratos as God Killer. May be that's why Try was also imprisoned by Odin, because Odin also knew about Kratos and Atreus. As Kratos , Odin also don't believe in fate and in God of war 4 ( 2018 ) Kratos told Atreus that fate is just a lie told by God there's nothing we cannot change
My another crazy theory is :- Prophesies in God of war are like equations. To get the right result you need to use the correct variables and Kratos is most important among all. So when Norse seers solve their equation they didn't count on Kratos as Memir said so they got the wrong results. Gros used acient tomb and became so powerful that she saw a white man and his son leading to Ragranok when Kratos reached the Norse region, that's also something Odin knew and may be that's why he was so furious with Tyr. Then he met Laufey a powerful Jotunn who knew Kratos was destroyer of the world's who killed Greek Gods and destroyed Olympus. Then she included Kratos into the equation and she saw the entire journey that would lead to Ragranok and beyond. She marked the path we took during the game and probably carved the Jotunheim mural. Faye got the right results to the equation and that's why all Giants called Autres Loki as mentioned in God of war 4 ( 2018 ). I hope we see Kratos from old God of war games – ruthless, brutal kills, epic soundtracks and big boss fights…..
