God of War Ragnarök

The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before.

While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw.

Atreus is desperately curious. Like most young people, he wants to understand who he is more than anything. In this case, he wants to understand who he could be. The mystery of Loki’s role in the upcoming conflict is something that Atreus cannot let go of. He wants to keep his family safe, but Atreus also doesn’t want to stand by and do nothing while conflict consumes the Nine Realms.

Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir.

Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches.

New accessibility features for God of War Ragnarok

Boy, that makes it options.

On the occasion of World Accessibility Awareness Day, Santa Monica Studio reveals in a PlayStation.Blog post a selection of the more than 60 options designed to meet the different needs of players on God of War Ragnarok .

The American studio announces that it has completely revised the game interface in order to offer more flexibility and readability. The reassignment of keys has also been completely redesigned, and new possibilities for customizing combat and interaction systems are emerging. Finally, all the accessibility features of God of War 2018 have been kept, and even improved for some.

Among the 60 options offered in God of War Ragnarok, we will find in particular Autorun, the possibility of activating a persistent point in the middle of the screen which can help reduce nausea due to movements, or even the styles of aiming and blockage.

Santa Monica Studio also explains that it has worked a lot on improving the subtitle system. For example, it will be possible to increase their size to provide better readability. The subtitles will also contain descriptions of the sound effects. An addition that will undoubtedly fully restore the sound environment of the game.

There is no doubt that most of these new features will add convenience and accessibility to gamers from all walks of life. And the developers are putting a lot of effort into this. A commendable effort, but which emphasizes, in a way, the overall lack of consideration of this area in the video game industry. Indeed, the presence of many of the options mentioned would seem obvious in most games and yet, it is clear that they are most often neglected. Hopefully the accessibility work on highly anticipated titles like God of War Ragnarok shows the way for other studios.
