God of Warwas one of the highest-rated games of 2018, and stands as one of the most successful PS4 exclusives to date. Fans are undoubtedly excited to see what’s next for theGod of Warfranchise, and while we may be quite a ways off from the sequel, a newly-discovered tease from game director Cory Barlog may offer an idea of what to expect from the sequel.
As spotted by Reddit user Kayfriso, Cory Barlog’s pinned tweet thread spells out “Ragnarok is Coming” when one takes the first letter of each tweet. This could be an indication that the nextGod of Wargame will in fact deal with the Norse apocalypse Ragnarok, especially since this isn’t the first time that Ragnarok has been teased for the sequel.
Earlier this year, Sony released a newGod of WarPS4 themethat also included the words “Ragnarok is Coming,” further cementing the theory that the nextGod of Wargame will deal with Ragnarok in some way. Meanwhile, the end ofGod of Warpotentially reveals even more about what the sequel will have in store. Please note that the rest of this article will havespoilersfor 2018’sGod of War.
TheGod of Warendingleaves three big plot points that will almost certainly be followed up in the next game. This includes the mural that depicts a dying Kratos and the reveal that Atreus is Loki. Another big plot point that will likely be featured in the nextGod of Waris the appearance of Thor.
IfGod of Warplayers return to Kratos' home after wrapping up the story, they are treated to an extra scene where Atreus has a nightmare about thearrival of Odin’s son, Thor. It’s possible that the confrontation between Kratos, Atreus, and Thor, and the inevitable showdown with Odin as well, will be the events that trigger Ragnarok.
But that’s just speculation at this time. With the PS4 nearing the end of its life cycle, it’s likely that the nextGod of Warwill be on the PS5, so fans may have to wait years to find out what it will be about.
