To prepare for God of War Ragnarok, Sony has released a new video recapping all the events that took place in the original God of War (2018) as a refresher, or for folks who haven’t played the prequel and plan on playing Ragnarok in November to keep you up to date about all the events that took place. The new video titled “God of War Ragnarok – Myths of Midgard” recaps the entire story of Ragnarok’s predecessor in roughly seven minutes. Myths of Midgard is narrated by Felicia Day and Alastair Neil Duncan (AKA the smartest man alive, AKA Mimir), and walks us through the entirety of Kratos’ and Atreus’ journey up till now. Watch the full video here:

The description for the video reads:

To prepare for the upcoming release of God of War Ragnarök on November 9th, we’ve invited two of the best storytellers we know to recap the journey of Kratos and Atreus from God of War (2018): the amazing Felicia Day and the Smartest Man Alive, Mimir!

The new Myths of Midgard video is an animated storybook recounting the events of God of War (2018), with a goal of catching you up on the previous game.

If you are not a video person, PlayStation has released a blog post that summarizes all the story details you need to know before playing God of War Ragnarok. 

In case you didn’t know, God of War Ragnarok will feature both performance and resolution modes. You can read more about that here.
