New God of War Ragnarok Gameplay Showcases Combat and How Kratos Plays With His Food

Just a few days ago, we reported on how Sony Santa Monica is not only seeking for more enemy variety in God of War: Ragnarok, but to also expand the combat. One of the latest additions to the combat system is “Signature Weapon Moves.” In a new God of War: Ragnarok gameplay clip, we see just that in action!

As part of Game Informer’s cover story of the game, a new gameplay video has been released, and we see Kratos “play with his food.” Check out how Kratos imbues his weapons with either ice or fire as part of the new combat mechanic in Ragnarok.

In this exclusive God Of War Ragnarök gameplay video, Associate Editor Jason Guisao shares a first look at the new weapons and combat abilities Kratos and Atreus can use, including upgrades to the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos.

Lead combat designers Mihir Sheth and Denny Yeh have over 17 years of God of War experience shared between them, and both played prominent roles in the previous game’s success. The series’ current direction is inspired by an old studio motto: Playing with your food.

God of War Ragnarok is now available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store, and it is coming out on November 9, 2022 on the PS4 and PS5.
