God of War Ragnarok
The launch of God of War Ragnarok, the new great PlayStation production, is missing less and less. Of all the games arriving during the autumn season, the new epic of Kratos and Atreus is probably the most awaited work by fans. Now, as we approach the fateful moment of the release, some initial information about the weight that the title will have on PlayStation 4 and how much free space is required in memory for installation begin to emerge on the net.
To give us this information in advance with the times is the usual and reliable Twitter account 'PlayStation Game Size', which many times has managed to find various information on the size of the output game files through the database of the PlayStation Store. The new God of War Ragnarok is the protagonist of this user's new post, who manages to inform PS4 owners that they will need 90 GB free to be able to return to the nine Norse kingdoms together with Kratos and company.
In a second post, this user pointed out that these 90 GB are not to be taken as a sure thing until we get closer to day one, as several things can change between now and the game's launch, even if there are fewer and fewer weeks to go. at that moment. In fact, in the second post on Twitter, it is pointed out that these file sizes are not always accurate and that 90GB is exempt from the day one patch.| ); } As a final detail, the download size may vary from different regions of the world, and the user takes the example of the latest PlayStation exclusive first party studios Horizon Forbidden West. Everything will have to be officially confirmed, but less and less are missing for the launch of the highly anticipated new God of War Ragnarok, which, we remind you, will be released on November 9th exclusively on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
God of War Ragnarok realms – all the locations you can visit
Our favourite grimacing god Kratos and his son Atreus are making a comeback in God of War Ragnarok, and we’re here for the gruff cries of ‘boy’ and the ensuing whining. The first game was set in a world full of Norse mythology that had many locations to explore, which is why this guide explore all the God of War Ragnarok realms.
The God of War Ragnarok realms are based on the realms of Norse mythology – locations that are inhabited by humans, gods, dwarves, and creatures good and evil that either want to help or hinder you.
There are new realms this time around, too. Below, you’ll find a list of all these locations, as well as an explanation of what you can expect to encounter in each place.
There are nine realms to explore in God of War Ragnarok. These are:
Midgard is Norse mythology’s version of a human-inhabited earth. It’s the largest of the realms and where Kratos and Atreus have made their home. Unfortunately, Midgard is slap bang in the centre of Ragnarok and the various gods’ plans to fight one another. Add to that the draugr enemies you will face and all the other creatures that will keep you up at night and it means most of the human population has been killed or long ago run for the hills.
AlfheimAlfheim is a world occupied by elves divided into two categories: light elves and dark elves. These elves were at each other’s throats in the first game, with Kratos and Atreus stuck in the middle. It’s home to the temple of Freyr and an enormous lake at its centre, while it’s decorated with lush greenery for you to explore.
HelheimThe location of the infamous Norse afterlife, Helheim is a stark and dangerous place. This realm is enforced by Hel-Walkers, who torment the individuals trapped in the realm. Helheim plays tracks on all who enter, showing them illusions, nightmares, and generally playing tricks on those unlucky enough to find themselves trapped there.
JotunheimJotunheim is the home of the giants and is covered in snowy mountains that loom even larger than the giants who inhabit its lands. The giants of Jotunheim were killed by the Aesir, who suspected that the giants might bring on Ragnarok. Judging by the God of War sequel’s name, we don’t think they were very successful.
MuspelheimLike Jotunheim, Muspelheim is home to giants, but this time it’s of the fire variety. Muspelheim is ruled by Surtr, the ruler of the fire giants. Surtr and his compatriots spend their time honing their combat abilities and awaiting Ragnarok, at which time they plan to take the fight to the Aesir, march on Asgard, and avenge their Jotunheim brethren.
NiflheimNiflheim is the place of primordial beings that remember the beginnings of time. The realm is set on an ice plane world that has a cloud of toxic smoke that pervades its atmosphere and poisons anything or anyone that touches it. Due to its adverse conditions, it’s a realm in which warriors go to test their abilities. Niflheim is also where the dwarf alchemist Ivaldi came from.
VanaheimNew for God of War Ragnarok, Vanaheim is the home of the Vanir gods like Freya, who Kratos meets in the first game. Magic is heavy in the air in this realm and its surroundings are full of dark forests that reflect this. The Vanir gods are rivals to the Aesir gods and Kratos and Atreus will likely find themselves here looking for allies or hunting down enemies.
SvartalfheimUnlike many of the other realms, which contain all kinds of gods and monsters, Svartalfheim is home to the dwarves. They are keen inventors and have created technologies that are beyond comprehension to even the gods. The dwarves closely guard information about Svartalfheim, but we know that only dwarves are allowed to enter the realm, so how Kratos and Atreus will gain entry is yet to be determined.
AsgardEveryone has heard of Asgard by now. It’s the home of the Aesir gods, like Loki and Thor, and is at the centre of all Norse mythology. It’s home to Valhalla, which is where warriors go when they die. Like Svartalfheim, Asgard is a realm restricted to only the Aesir gods and no other races are admitted. However, legend has it that the realm will be destroyed when Ragnarok comes.
That’s everything we know about the God of War Ragnarok realms. For more information on the game, read our God of War Ragnarok characters guide to see everyone who makes an appearance. You can also check out the voice actors and cast to see who brings your favourite characters to life.
