The trailer shows Kratos still fathering his now slightly older son Atreus.
They ride a brisk dogsled, sail a boat, encounter a few familiar dwarves, and stare down an unseen foe brandishing a magical hammer. (I wonder who that might be.)
According to Kotaku, Eric Williams is handling directing duties on Ragnarok after Cory Barlog directed the 2018 game in a long-standing studio tradition of changing up directors from game to game on the series.
On Thursday, 9 September, IGN shared a tweet featuring the game’s major characters.
