Sony Interactive Entertainment has just published a video to detail a little more the content of this roguelike mode, giving the floor to Bruno Velazquez and Mihir Sheth, respectively animation director and combat director on God of War Ragnarok. Notable detail, Velazquez and Sheth are making their debut as co-directors on Valhalla, which suggests that director Eric Williams took the opportunity to tackle Kratos’ next adventures without further delay (while Cory Barlog has been focusing on this for a while now). on a new license).

Developed in the space of a year, Valhalla therefore presents a whole new region that Kratos will be able to discover again and again as he attempts. Like Naughty Dog’s friends with the “No Return” mode of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, Santa Monica Studio here takes up the popular roguelike formula, focusing everything on replayability. Kratos’ path will therefore be dotted with chests which will allow him to choose between two glyphs, runes or statistics which represent as many bonuses and modifiers to improve his buildknowing that some rewards will be permanent and others temporary.
Something too unusual in a roguelike, Valhalla will also allow you to adjust the difficulty. “ God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla will feature five difficulty settings designed and adjusted specifically for the DLC’s unique gameplay. Each of these settings increases the amount of rewards obtained in combat, and can be changed freely between each attempt, including to and from the highest difficulty, Demonstration of Mastery “, we can read on the PlayStation Blog.
If the DLC undoubtedly focuses more on pure gameplay than on narrative, pushing the limits of Kratos in the face of new enemy combinations, Valhalla is however not disconnected from the main story and takes place after the conclusion of the game. If it is therefore recommended to have finished the adventure due to the spoilersValhalla will however be accessible at any time.
