This was followed by a pair of sequels and a handful of spin-offs. After a five-year stretch of silence, in 2018 when God of War <\/em>came back, it was rebirthed with a new setting, new lore, and the promise of a sequel\u2014which is how we arrive here today.<\/p>
Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em> is nearly here, and with it, you\u2019ll find another thrilling tale rooted in Norse mythology and polished gameplay boasting some neat new additions.
