Sony just concluded its PlayStation 5 Showcase presentation with a bombshell announcement. After revealing thePlayStation 5 price and release date, Sony officially confirmed that the newGod of Wargame is coming to PS5 in 2021, with Sony Santa Monica once again developing the new game.
The teaser trailer for the newGod of Wargame was brief, showing the franchise’s symbol and having very little in the way of details. However, it did display a message: “Ragnarok is coming,” which can’t mean anything good for Kratos or his son. But while theGod of Warteaser more or less just confirmed that the new game is coming in 2021 for PlayStation 5, the events of the 2018 game may still give fans a pretty good idea of what to expect. Those that have yet to complete 2018’sGod of Warshould note that the rest of this article will have somespoilersfor the game.

2018’sGod of Warhas a secret ending where it suggestsThor, Odin’s son and the God of Thunder, will be a major antagonist in the new game. Whether or not that’s the case remains to be seen, but it does seem likely. It’s possible that Kratos will face off against Odin as well, but one has to think Sony Santa Monica will save that encounter for a later game in theGod of Warseries.
Another possible plot point in the newGod of WarisKratos’s death. This is hinted at strongly at the end of the firstGod of War, but again, that could be a red herring or it could be saved for the game after the next one. There’s really a lot of different directions that theGod of Warfranchise can go, and it will definitely be interesting to see what happens, to say the least.
With the reveal thatGod of Waris coming to PS5 in 2021, it seems Sony is already looking for the next-generation console to have a stacked year next year. BesidesGod of War, other big games likeHorizon Forbidden WestandRatchet & Clank: Rift Apartare expected for 2021 as well. Not only that, but there will be big multi-platform PS5 games coming in 2021, too, likeResident Evil 8andHogwarts Legacy, the highly-anticipatedHarry PotterRPG.
