A possible God of War Ragnarök sequel was teased by an industry insider on Twitter earlier today. It could arrive in the form of a DLC or half-sequel.
Released in November 2022, God of War Ragnarök is the direct sequel to 2018’s God of War, a continuation of the series with the same name that first launched in 2005. The recent adaptations tell the story of Spartan warrior Kratos and his son Atreus who must navigate a world filled with creatures and monsters from Norse mythology.

Developed by Santa Monica Studio, the games have been met with worldwide success which has made fans desperate to hear news on a potential God of War Ragnarök sequel. Luckily, it looks like one may be on the cards according to industry insider, ViewerAnon on Twitter. The insider shared the news in a reply to a recent IGN story claiming that half-sequels could be the future of AAA game releases.
“IGN's bang-on here - this is how you cut the gap between releases while also maybe letting greener teams work on the half-sequel with established tools and support,” wrote ViewerAnon. “Santa Monica Studio's working on new God of War stuff and I wonder whether it will be Ragnarök DLC or a half-sequel.”
The half-sequel, sometimes known as a standalone expansion, has been seen in the past with the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. They work as a ‘1.5’ in the series, usually telling the story of a secondary character who will become heavily involved in the official sequel. If this is true, we could see a God of War Ragnarök half-sequel that tells the story of Atreus who went through some pretty big changes in the latest instalment.
A sequel being on the cards would make sense considering a Santa Monica Studio job listing surfaced in August which saw the studio looking for a regular/full-time combat designer that “must have knowledge of God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök (2022)”.
However, with no official announcement as of yet, another sequel is up to the Norse gods themselves.
