God Of War: Ragnarok Will Be One Unbroken Shot From Start To Finish

There's been a lot of news coming out about God of War: Ragnarok since its official announcement at the PlayStation Showcase last week. Whether it be the discourse surrounding what Thor looks like, or how excited fans are to finally get to see Kratos yet again - it's been a busy time. 

However, one thing most fans can agree on is that the fact that the 2018 game being one continuous shot was a brilliant addition to the game. Well, it's now been confirmed that Ragnarok will follow suit. 

Matt Sophos, the Writer and Story Lead for God of War and the Narrative Director for Ragnarok confirmed the news on Twitter. 

What Does One Continuous Shot In Ragnarok Mean?

Basically, there's no 'camera cuts' in the game, at all. The whole thing is as if you're stood there with the characters for the entirety, until credits have rolled. It's a fantastic way of ensuring that those playing the game feel that they're really immersed in the universe and part of the story.

It might seem like a small thing, and those of you who have played it might not have even noticed, but as Comicbook reports, it's to make players feel 'more intimate' with Kratos and Atreus, especially.  

What Else Do We Know About God Of War: Ragnarok?

We've been treated to a bit more info about the game from none other than the PlayStation blog. They wrote: "Atreus is desperately curious. Like most young people, he wants to understand who he is more than anything. In this case, he wants to understand who he could be. The mystery of Loki’s role in the upcoming conflict is something that Atreus cannot let go of. He wants to keep his family safe, but Atreus also doesn’t want to stand by and do nothing while conflict consumes the Nine Realms.

"Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir.

"Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches."

God of War: Ragnarok will release in 2022 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
