It appears God of Battle: Ragnarok will certainly bring Kratos’ trip via Norse folklore to a close, if current remarks from Sony Santa Monica are to pass.
Talking in a meeting with Kaptain Kuba (as gotten by Video clip Gamings Chronicle) workshop supervisor Cory Barlog discussed that the group have actually invested a long period of time with the Norse tale. “I think one of the most important reasons is… the first game took five years. The second game—I don’t know how long it’s going to take — but I’m just going to throw out that it’s going to take close to a similar time to do this. And then if you think, wow a third one in that same [length of time], we’re talking a span of close to 15 years on a single story and I feel like that’s just too stretched out.”
It was disclosed recently that Barlog himself will not in fact be guiding the brand-new video game. Rather, that mantle has actually been given to God of Battle expert Eric Williams. Balrog proceeded: “I feel like we’re asking too much, to say the actual completion of that story taking that long just feels too long, and given where the team was at and where Eric was at with what he wanted to do, I was like ‘look, I think we can actually do this in the second story.’”
Barlog additionally indicated the tale of the connection in between Kratos and also Atreus, and also intricacies that he compared to surges in a fish pond. “And we could make it an ocean and make those ripples go for thousands of miles, but is that necessary and is that beneficial, or are we feeling like it’s just spreading it too far apart? The ripples get too far apart, and you sort of lose the plot a little bit.”
Obviously, there’s still a lot of amazing handles Norse misconceptions to eagerly anticipate, as we saw in the trailer recently. God of Battle: Ragnarok is presently established for a 2022 launch on PlayStation 5 and also PlayStation 4.
