God of War Ragnarok update [v. 02.04] patch notes

God of War Ragnarok has released a new minor patch, introducing a few changes across the board.

Developed by Sony Santa Monica Studio, God of War Ragnarok is the conclusive chapter to Kratos' Norse Saga. The title follows Kratos and his son Atreus on their journey across the nine realms in their quest to find Tyr and stop Ragnarok.

Released earlier this month, the game has been praised for its excellent storytelling, organic character development, and grand scale, building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor. A sequel to 2018's Game of the Year God of War, Ragnarok is already being considered for the prestigious title in 2022.

While the game has been released in an extremely polished state, there are a few minor glitches and bugs in the title, which the developers at Santa Monica Studio are addressing with weekly patches. With that being said, let's take a look at update [v. 02.04] for God of War Ragnarok, and the changes it brings.

God of War Ragnarok is a Game of the Year 2022 contender

With 2018's God of War, Sony Santa Monica Studio redefined PlayStation's flagship franchise, taking the series' protagonist Kratos from being the God of War decapitating Olympians in the Greek Pantheon to a calm and calculative father trying to fulfill his wife's final wish along with his son in the land of Norse mythos.

The title's brilliant storytelling, paired with grand visuals and satisfying gameplay, earned it the title of Game of the Year at 2018's The Game Awards. After making its way to PC earlier this year, it found a new and bigger audience.

Ragnarok builds upon the groundwork laid by God of War and delivers an unpredictable and satisfying conclusion to the Norse Saga. Following the path of its predecessor, the title has been nominated for the Game of the Year award at 2022's The Game Awards, set for December 8, 2022.
