To say God of War Ragnarok‘s upcoming release is something worth looking forward to is a bit of an understatement. The game’s a follow-up to the series’ fourth main entry on last-generation consoles and was first announced back in September 2020. Today, though, there’s information regarding the upcoming God of War Ragnarok release, as its launch date was finally set in stone, being November 9th, 2022. Below is a tweet from PlayStation’s Twitter account announcing it.
