Earlier today, the official reveal trailer for God of War: Ragnarok was unveiled during the PlayStation Showcase event. The trailer offered a great deal of insight in terms of what to expect from God of War: Ragnarok. Although, unbeknownst to some God of War fans, PlayStation has revealed even more details that weren't fully detailed during the reveal trailer.

Up until now, not much was known about the latest installment in the God of War series. Following the brief teaser shown during a PlayStation event last year, the only glimpse of God of War: Ragnarok fans had received during that time was a teaser image posted by Cory Barlog on Twitter. While this trailer showed off a lot, the finer details of the game were revealed via PlayStation Blog.

As summarized by Twitter user Nibellion, the PlayStation Blog post explained that Freya from the previous God of War and Thor, who made a brief appearance in a post-credits scene. Thor has been the subject of God of War fan theories since he was seen at the end of the previous game and was assumed by many to be the lead villain of God of War: Ragnarok. Though, his relation to Freya and how the two of them might coincide with one another during the main story might lead to bigger things.

In addition, the blog post also confirmed that all nine realms will be featured in the game and will be available for players to explore. In the previous God of War, only a limited number of the realms were actually playable. The God of War: Ragnarok trailer did show off a number of new locations that weren't featured in the original game, so it will be interesting to see what the other realms have to offer.

While it was fairly evident that some characters would be returning for God of War: Ragnarok, such as Mimir, Brok, and Sindri, what's considerably more exciting is what some of the new characters will add to the ongoing narrative. Thor was only shown for a few seconds and didn't even receive any speaking lines. Not to mention that Tyr was only ever mentioned in passing, so to have him play a key role in this new game should be quite engaging.

The game did not receive a confirmed release date, which most fans have come to expect at this point. While God of War: Ragnarok is scheduled to release in 2022, there's no way to know when specifically it will release. Then again, it will likely release before some of the other games shown during the showcase event, such as Spider-Man 2 and the Wolverine game.

God of War: Ragnarok is set to release on PS4 and PS5 in 2022.
