Today also brings a new CGI trailer for the game, showing “a look at some of the dangers Kratos and Atreus could find themselves in” as the prophesied Ragnarök approaches. Today also brings news of the game’s many editions and pre-order bonuses. Pre-release your purchase and you’ll receive the Kratos Risen Snow Armor cosmetics and the Atreus Risen Snow Tunic cosmetics. The standard version of the game will be available separately for both PS4 and PS5. Owners of the PS4 version will need to pay $10 to upgrade their copy to PS5. The digital deluxe edition of Ragnarök includes another armor set for Kratos and Atreus, a digital soundtrack, digital mini artbook, avatar set and PS4 theme. Moving on, the Collector’s Edition wraps all of the above in a large physical box, complete with a voucher for the game and an empty Steelbook case – although there’s no disc. You also get a 16″ Mjölnir replica, a pair of 2″ Vanir Twins carvings and a dwarven dice set. Finally, the Jotnar version. This includes all of the above in an even more impressive physical box, plus a 7″ vinyl with two tracks by composer Bear McCreary, a Draupnir ring, a cloth map, a shinier dice set and a badge set. The various different versions of the game will be available for pre-order next week on July 15th. We’ll keep an eye out for pricing details. Just last week, God of War director Cory Barlog appealed for calm as excited PlayStation fans clamored for release date information in a frenzy sparked by online gossip suggesting an announcement was imminent. Well, here we are. In a barren year for big game launches, we can now at least mark this one in our calendar.
