After months of silence, PlayStation has finally given fans a definitive look at the upcoming God of War Ragnarok with a three-minute gameplay trailer.
The trailer was released thanks to the recent PlayStation State of Play event, which also featured a host of new game shows from various third-party studios.
God of war ragnarok is one of the most anticipated games of 2022, along with Elden Ring From Software. For this reason, fans were puzzled by the lack of any significant marketing effort for the game.
PlayStation and Santa Monica Studio, developers of the God of War series, have said they'll have some exciting stuff to showcase right before the game's release. They definitely delivered on that promise with the recent story trailer.

The story of Ragnarok picks up right after the end of the previous game, in which Kratos and his son Atreus finally calm down. Meanwhile, their actions throughout their journey permeated the nine worlds, bringing the prophetic Ragnarok closer, and Fimbulwinter enveloped Midgard and all other worlds.
In the story trailer, Kratos and Atreus appear to have been visited by Odin, who could play a major role in how the game's entire narrative unfolds.
In Norse mythology, both Loki and the Allfather play prominent roles during the Ragnarök world event. Considering how Atreus was named by Loki by his mother Faye and the Giants, it's safe to assume that Odin will have a major impact on Atreus' life and actions throughout the game.
The trailer also gives a much better look at the previously leaked character. Tyra, Norse god of war. He seems to be an ally of the father-son duo, which is not surprising given that he is one of the very few Norse gods who is depicted as kind and compassionate.
Other characters such as Freya, some Valkyries, and even Fenrir also briefly appeared in the trailer.
Fans also got a better idea of the game's improved combat. The trailer showed animations and combos with the Leviathan Ax and Blades of Chaos.
The trailer mainly consisted of cinematics and cutscenes from the game. However, players also got a few glimpses of the combat that played out against various enemies such as elves, draugr, and the massive Drake.
One of the best parts of the trailer was the last few seconds, where fans finally got their first look at Thor, the Norse god of thunder, going up against Kratos. The sight of the Leviathan Ax and Mjolnir colliding with each other is truly impressive.
