“We’re thrilled to be able to share our release date and the brand-new God of War Ragnarök – Father and Son CG Trailer with all the God of War fans who have been eagerly awaiting news,” Grace Orlady, sr. community manager at Santa Monica Studio said. “We hope you’ve enjoyed a glimpse at some of the dangers Kratos and Atreus could find themselves up against as Ragnarök approaches.”

God of War: Ragnarok Release Date
The God of War: Ragnarok release date announcement puts an end to months of speculation, after a series of setbacks and postponements rocked the release schedule. Originally slated to debut in 2021, the fan favourite historical fantasy game was pushed back to 2022 in June last year, however, Sony stopped short of giving an official timeline of events.
“Since the release of the next God of War teaser last year, we’ve been humbled by the amount of love our community has shown us,” developer Santa Monica Studio said in a tweet at the time. “We’re incredibly grateful to see so many people excited to experience the next chapter of Kratos and Atreus’ journey. “We remain focused on delivering a top-quality game while maintaining the safety and wellbeing of our team, creative partners, and families. With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to shift our release window to 2022.”
The latest announcement makes good on Santa Monica Studio’s initial promise, albeit a little later than fans may have been hoping for. God of War: Ragnarok will officially be released on PS4 and PS5 on 9 November 2022. You can watch the new trailer, “Father and Son” above.
