To further complicate things, Thor has sent minions after Kratos, and they'll be using lightning-infused weapons to try to take him down.
To make matters worse, Freya, a former ally turned antagonist is now after Kratos, forcing the duo on the run. We also got a detailed look at the story, with Kratos and Atreus, who's grown into a young adult, at odds with each other. But of course, there's plenty of monsters and villains to fight, and the father and son team is still just as capable of taking down the different threats. Along with using wolves and a sled to traverse frozen lakes, you'll be able to take your boat to new towns, where you can interact with townsfolk. The new trailer shows off the changed landscape of the original game, while also detailing some of the new areas you'll get to visit. God of War: Ragnarok's story picks up sometime after the events of the previous game, with an older Kratos and Atreus trying to survive in the frozen landscape as Ragnarok approaches, and with the Norse god Thor seeking vengeance against the father and son. We first glimpsed God of War: Ragnarok nearly one year ago, but we've now gotten our first look at the game in detail, with its latest showing during the PlayStation Showcase. The new key art for God of War: Ragnarok shows off an older Kratos and Atreus, surviving in a frozen wasteland.
