God of War Ragnarök - Major changes to gameplay

The first trailer for God of War Ragnarök didn't really please many fans. The main reason for this was the identical gameplay to the predecessor. But with the last trailers, the developer has improved and it seems as if there are some interesting new features after all.
This comes just in time, because the game will be released on November 9th. 

More fun in the game

According to the developer, the main focus of the gameplay changes was the fun factor of the game. The changes mainly concern Kratos' fighting system. He can now also attack opponents from above with effective blows. But there have also been changes in terms of speed. His movements are much faster and the fights are therefore even smoother. 

Multiple exploration

Another new feature is the multiple exploration of the game world of God of War Ragnarök. The nine worlds contain so much interesting and many hidden secrets. So it often happens that one has to visit a world already explored again in order to uncover all the secrets. 

Weapon system

At the beginning of the game, Kratos already has his Leviathan axe and the blades of chaos. But thanks to the new weapon system, it is necessary to constantly expand and adapt them. Even the rest of the equipment will be adjustable with the new system and this creates the feeling of carrying unique equipment. 

Each player can adapt Kratos to his own, personal playing style. Whether as a tank or faster fighter is up to you. 

From November 9th you can jump into your own godly adventure on Steam on PC, on PS5 and on Xbox Series X/S. You can find the matching game key offers on our site for each game.
