(That Odin guy? Less wise and all-seeing than paranoid and domineering.) Sony and developer Santa Monica Studio have marketed Ragnarök - a reference to the prophesied Norse apocalypse - as a similar treatise on how one can tell fate to go fuck itself. The 2018 God of War reboot played heavily into original Norse myth while also making some key changes.

God of War is practically candy for fans of mythology the series has always included an entertaining, additive layer of how prophecy stacks up against interpretation.
While the series originated in Greece - pitting main character Kratos against a slightly more monstrous take on Zeus, Poseidon, and the rest of the pantheon - God of War (2018) and its 2022 sequel, God of War Ragnarök, take place in the lands of Norse myth. God of War: Ragnarok is set to release on November 9, 2022, for PS4, and PS5.The God of War series is all about reimagining ancient mythology. Thanks to the confirmation that God of War: Ragnarok players will visit every realm in the upcoming game, fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the Nine Realms and witness the destruction that Kratos and Atreus bring with them.
While 2018’s God of War gave fans a look into a few of these realms, many are still shrouded in mystery, and some have only been explored partially. With God of War: Ragnarok’s release date inching closer, fans are hoping to explore all nine realms of the Norse world and see how the game depicts these realms. The realm reflects the powerful magic that the Vanir control and is considered the most bizarre of all the realms. Entry into the realm is impossible without the permission of the Vanir, even for the Aesir. The realm is filled with wild magic and was ruled over by Freya before she departed following her falling out with Baldur. Homeland of the Vanir Gods, rivals to the Aesir, Vanaheim is the most mysterious of all the realms and is covered in dark and light forests.

With certain elements of the realms revealed, the nine Norse realms in the God of War mythos and their significance becomes clearer. While there is not a lot of information about these realms, certain items, quests, and conversations reveal details of these mysterious and unexplored lands. However, fans are wondering about the realms that Kratos did not visit in the first game. God of War: Ragnarok is set to give players the chance to explore all nine realms as Kratos and Atreus take the fight to Asgard and the Aesir. Like in previous games, both 2018’s God of War, and the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok take certain liberties in lore and world design, making the nine realms slightly different from how they are described in classic Norse Mythology. Following the departure from Greek Mythology, Kratos now resides in Midgard, one of the Norse realms, and his adventures in 2018’s God of War have had him travel to many of the other realms. The God of War series has always engulfed its player base into a lore-rich world that connects the game’s world to classical mythological stories and legends.
