After almost a year of silence, speculation has been rampant on whether God of War Ragnarok will face a delay into 2023 or not. As of today, PlayStation has officially revealed the release date for the hotly anticipated title and a new cinematic trailer and collectors editions for the game.
**Trailer and Release Date**

In a brand new CGI trailer titled "Father and Son", players are given a glimpse at some of the dangers Kratos and Atreus will face in Ragnarok. Most notably is what is assumed to be the giant wolf Fenrir towards the end of the teaser. Ragnarok will likely continue the trend of having Kratos square off against enemies of massive proportions.

At the end of the trailer, it is revealed that God of War: Ragnarok is officially coming on November 9th 2022, meaning we can finally put the speculation of a delay to rest. Alongside the date reveal, PlayStation also did a deep dive on the different preorder editions of the game.
