The organization that evaluates the sensitive content of games in the United States, the ESRB, has looked into the case of GoW Ragnarok, the next big exclusive from PlayStation Studios to be released on PS4 and PS5 in a short month. And believe us or not, but it seems that there will be violence.
We hope your stomach was well hung by reading the title of this news, but yes we assure you, God of War Ragnarok will be violent. And at the risk of making you dive back into your vomit bucket, we take the liberty of specifying that swear words will even be spoken there… More seriously, the ESRB has released its report on the production of Santa Monica Studios and there should be no worries: Kratos will remain Kratos.
Blood and dismemberments
It was already a party at this level in the first game, with the big ax blows splitting the opponents in half and we obviously hope that GoW Ragnarok will ensure the hit side “executions”. The 2018 ones were very good, but a bit repetitive due to the limited number of different enemy types. According to Santa Monica Studios, it should be quite different in this sequel with a lot of work on the bestiary. While waiting to be able to judge this on paper on November 9, here is the description from the ESRB:
God of War 2018, a wiser game than its elders
Oh certainly there are many dismemberments and some tense moments in God of War Ragnarok, but we feel that the daron of War is no longer in such a mad rage as in Greece. The first God of War trilogy and especially GoW3 are interspersed with particularly graphic murders, bordering on uncomfortable for the most sensitive souls. With his rebootthe series changed its tone to something more laid back in order to delve deeper into the psychology of its main character. It’s another style, of course, but it is clear that the new “Kratos” is much more interesting than the PS2 / PS3 games.
