When does Valhalla take place in God of War?

The events of Valhalla take place after the main story of God of War Ragnarok and act as an epilogue. Bruno Velazquez, the co-director of Valhalla at Sony Santa Monica, had this to say in the official 5 Things to Know trailer:

"At the end of God of War Ragnarok, Kratos was presented with a new path that he never imagined for himself. This has led him to the shores of Ocala, where he will face trials that challenge his abilities and resolve in a new Replayable adventure to be one's own master."
