It doesn't appear as though God of War Ragnarok will be receiving any kind of major DLC expansion, according to the game's director. God of War Ragnarok launched earlier this month to rave reviews from critics, becoming the second-highest rated game of 2022 in the process. God of War Ragnarok is up for multiple awards at The Game Awards this year, including Game of the Year. In fact, God of War Ragnarok has more nominations than any other game at the big show, cementing it as one of the year's best.

God of War Ragnarok reviews were almost universally positive, with many praising the game as a worthy successor to the popular 2018 game. Some truly dedicated fans may have already earned God of War Ragnarok's platinum trophy and could be hungry for a new adventure through a DLC expansion, but they should keep their expectations in check.

God of War Ragnarok director Eric Williams recently appeared on the Kinda Funny Games podcast to discuss the game. When asked if there would be any DLC for God of War Ragnarok, Williams said that he "wouldn't count on it," due to the size of God of War Ragnarok. "I think we put everything we had into it," he said. While this may be disappointing news for some God of War fans, others may have already assumed that Ragnarok wouldn't be getting any DLC.

The 2018 God of War game was a huge success, but it didn't have DLC either. While the developers did consider making God of War DLC, the decision was ultimately made to pass on the idea. But while the 2018 God of War never received a substantial DLC expansion, it was still supported through post-launch updates that did add some new features for fans of the game to check out and help extend its shelf life.

One hugely popular feature that was added to the 2018 God of War game after launch was the New Game Plus mode, which allowed players to go back through the story with the equipment they earned in their initial playthrough. God of War Ragnarok currently does not have a New Game Plus mode, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the feature could be added to the game in an update at some point, just like what happened with the 2018 game. However, plans to that effect have not been announced at the time of this writing.

It's unclear what the future holds for God of War Ragnarok, but at the bare minimum, fans should be able to expect some updates for the game. God of War Ragnarok updates may primarily be focused on addressing any lingering issues or fixing bugs that the community discovers, but there may be some that add New Game Plus or other features. However, based on Williams' comments, it seems fans shouldn't hold their breath for the possibility of God of War Ragnarok getting bigger DLC.

God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
