The release of God of War: Ragnarok rocked the world of gaming in 2022, winning multiple awards in last year’s The Game Awards including titles like Best Narrative, Best Performance, and Best Action/Adventure Game. Almost a year in, and Kratos is returning, this time in the free DLC Valhalla for God of War: Ragnarok, which is coming free on 13 December 1AM Singapore time.
The DLC, revealed during The Game Awards 2023, features Kratos battling various enemies familiar to fans of the game – Draugrs, Einherjars, and more – as Mimir questions the purpose of their existence in Valhalla. It seems like enemies from Greek mythology like the Cyclops will also make an appearance.
Set after the decisive battle against Odin and Atreus’ departure, Kratos has seen a path for himself that he never thought possible before. Brought to the mysterious shores of Valhalla accompanied only by Mimir, Kratos will enter its unknown depths to overcome trials within himself and face echoes of his past. God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla will be an epilogue to the events of the base game, following Kratos on a deeply personal and reflective journey.
As the trailer demonstrates, this will be the combat you know and love from God of War Ragnarok and blends it with fresh, experimental elements inspired by the roguelite genre in Valhalla. Each attempt will encourage players to master different aspects of Kratos’ arsenal as they face new combinations of enemies and some surprises along the way.
Should Kratos fall, he will reawaken outside the doors ready for the next try. During each attempt, you will learn and adapt to the challenges Valhalla has to offer. The more you overcome, the more resources you’ll gain that can be put towards permanent upgrades that affect both Kratos and even Valhalla itself. Accumulating rewards and knowledge will help players get ever closer to discovering the mysteries that await Kratos within.
God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla will be released on 13 Dec 2023 for free.
