Atreus Appears To Usher In Fimbulwinter In God Of War Ragnarök Story Trailer

Sony revealed a brand new story trailer for God Of War Ragnarök during today’s State Of Play stream. The video showcased otherworldly imagery, including astral jellyfish, giant dinosaur-like creatures, and notably, a pivotal scene wherein Atreus appears to usher in Fimbulwinter, the end of the world, alongside Sköll and Hati – two wolves that are the offspring of Fenrir. According to Norse mythology, Sköll and Hati are two wolves who exist to one day spark the beginning of Ragnarök by chasing and devouring the sun and the moon. It’s pretty clear that’s what is happening in this new trailer, but why is Atreus helping them?

Atreus might be keeping important information from Kratos’ father. Kratos follows orders of his teenage son. Why is Freya holding a sword up to Atreus’ throat in the trailer? Do you think Freya is trying to hold Atreus captive or show Kratos her pain after Baldur died in the original game? This trailer raises questions and answers. That’s exactly what I need from pre-launch marketing. 

We’ll have to wait to find the answers to these questions when God Of War Ragnarök releases on November 8. You can still comment below with your stories!
