The release of God of War Ragnarök is just a few months away and the excitement is certainly building. Santa Monica Studio recently unveiled some of the improvements made to God of War Ragnarök’s gameplay which includes a “whole new suite” of powers for Kratos. We also know that this time round, Kratos will be able to select different shields, each with their own advantages. In a recent clip released by Game Informer though, fans have spotted a fun nod to the series’ original game.

In need of a recap of God of War? Take a look below.

Oftentimes, there’s no greater aid in combat than a good ol’ bit of Spartan Rage. Low on health? Spartan Rage. Overwhelmed by enemies? Spartan Rage. It’s a classic, and in God of War Ragnarök, it looks like the attack is getting a small upgrade. When Spartan Rage is activated, the omega symbol now appears - a symbol frequently featured in previous God of War games.

Fans reacted to the discovery. Sale7_14 wrote, “I think I'm the only one who noticed the logo of the God of War old game when Kratos uses the new rage. Wow,” whilst BT_BlackThunder added, “Wow! The omega symbol appears when you get rage in God of War Ragnarök. What a nice detail.”
