Today’s PlayStation Showcase ended with our first look at God of War: Ragnarok with an exciting gameplay trailer.
The nearly four-minute video featured a good look at the upcoming PlayStation 4 and 5 title. The trailer teased a look at Thor challenging Kratos and gave an updated look at the current state of the father-son relationship with Atreus. No update was given on the release date, which was last pushed to 2022.

Sony also revealed that God of War: Ragnarok will be directed by Eric Williams rather than Cory Barlog, who led development on the 2018 title.
2018’s God of War served as a soft reboot of the franchise taking it from Greek mythology to using Norse mythology as an inspiration. While Kratos is still the playable character and is confirmed to be the same person, he now has a son named Atreus. The emotional journey released to critical acclaim and was widely lauded for its plot, which was previously considered a weak point of the action series. It also had varied combat systems compared to previous hack-and-slash entries, which made fights far more methodical in nature.
