Sony announced at The Game Awards 2023 that the free DLC for God of War: Ragnarok will launch next week.
God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla DLC will be released for free on Tuesday, December 12.
The DLC will have roguelike-like elements and bring a new twist to God of War: Ragnarok.
The DLC announcement at The Game Awards surprised fans, which should be an exciting reason for them to return to the game.
God of War: Ragnarok will launch a new free DLC on Tuesday, December 12 called God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla. God of War: Ragnarok has a significant presence at The Game Awards 2022, and the action-adventure game from Sony's Santa Monica studio won several awards at the event.
God of War: Ragnarok didn't win the most coveted Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2022, but it still took home six awards. Ahead of The Game Awards 2023, fans already knew that God of War: Ragnarok would have some form of presentation, as it was confirmed before the show that Christopher Jude, the actor of Cretos, would be present. However, what is certain is that fans weren't expecting any announcements about God of War: Ragnarok at The Game Awards.
That's why many viewers of The Game Awards 2023 were shocked by the trailer for God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla, a completely free DLC that will be released on PS4 and PS5 on Tuesday, December 12. God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla DLC will have roguelike-like elements and promises to be an "emotional, unexpected, and fun new twist" for God of War: Ragnarok, according to The Game Awards host Jeff Keeley. The DLC's short trailer shows Cretos and Mimir battling some unique monsters, including a cyclops, in a response to the God of War game based on Greek mythology.
God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla DLC Release Date: Tuesday, December 12.
Many may come as a surprise to many that Sony has decided to release God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla for free. After all, God of War: Ragnarok was a huge sales success, so it's safe to say that many fans of the series will be more than willing to buy a paid DLC for the game. Either way, the free DLC should be a good reason for God of War fans to return to Ragnarok next week, and it will be exciting to see what story development the new DLC might have.
Rumors about a smaller God of War game that will serve as a transition between Ragnarok and the next full-size franchise. It's unclear if this free-to-play God of War: Ragnarok DLC is the rumored project or if it's something completely unrelated. If that other God of War project exists, one can't help but wonder when it will be announced. For now, fans can expect God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla to be released on December 12.
