Among the notable announcements during the State of Play on May 31, 2024, was the reveal of the PC version of God of War Ragnarok, aligning with Sony’s new policy for the gaming tower market. Like its 2018 predecessor, Kratos and Atreus’ new adventures will be available starting September 19 next year, complete with a range of innovative features and full content.

Furthermore, a DLC offering a Roguelite mode will be included in this version.
