[Thoughts] Could We See DLC Or A Companion Game For God Of War: Ragnarök?


Let's think about what could come next from the God Of War team

source: manualdosgames.com

It has been quite frequently mentioned on X recently that Santa Monica are currently developing something tied to God Of War. There has also been very strong leads such as Santa Monica hiring combat designers specially with knowledge of the recent God Of War games. God Of War: Ragnarök came out last November, so maybe a year later (this November) could be when we see what the developers have been cooking up. I am personally not 100% sold, but have some ideas were it could go if true, I will go into these below. 

~ Standard Expansion DLC ~

This would be similar to Horizon forbidden west. Like Horizon Forbidden West, the dlc would add directly to the God of War: Ragnarök game. We could see the addition of a new area to the game and an accompanying story. This new area could be something to do with were Atreus goes at the end of the game. This would probably offer around 5-10 hours of gameplay and be around the same price as the Horizon Forbidden west dlc (£16).

~ Companion Game ~

This way would be similar to Spider Man Miles Morales. Miles Morales added to the narrative of Spider Man but was also it's own game. Spider Man Miles Morales was around half the length of Spider man. This means that if they were to go this route we could see a 10-15 hour adventure. I again think it would cover Atreus and were he goes at the end of the game. The price for this would probably be the same as what Miles Morales was at around £40-50. 

~ Conclusion ~

Not matter which way they go for, I really think it will be focused around Atreus and possibly answer some final questions players have with the narrative. Having Atreus be the sole star of the dlc or a separate brother game will perfectly set him up to be the star of his own full length game. I really hope these rumours are true because I would absolutely love more content with these characters and world. 

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

  Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @  3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST.  Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here  SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members   source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games.   That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source:  x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start  Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am .  We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
