Anticipation has been building for God of War: Ragnarok particularly after a teaser trailer was revealed at the latest PlayStation 5 event. Many had been waiting for news about the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War which put Kratos in a new mythology. This looks set to continue as the teaser revealed that "Ragnarok" was coming, however, there was not too much more to discern from the short video. Fans have now taken the time to decode the video in an attempt to gain more information about the upcoming title.
Players who have played the game noted the frequency of symbols that represent Freya and given the events of the previous game many believe that the character will be key to the upcoming God of War game. Alongside this, the lore of Ragnarok is closely connected to the events of the previous game and many believe that the actions of Kratos have caused Ragnarok meaning the death of many gods and the new reign of mankind. Naturally, this topic fits in with the previous God of War games where Kratos went about systematically killing the Greek Gods.

Some fans will want to see further details before they speculate about the topics and themes of the upcoming God of War. However, the speculation of Freya having a key role, and the connection she may have to Ragnarok, is well supported by the events of the previous game as well as this early trailer. Many will hope for further information as a release draws closer, but it seems that fans may have an idea of the direction the game will follow.
Players will have to wait until next year before they can play the game, and speculation about God of War: Ragnarok will likely continue during the build-up to its release. However, players seem to be certain that Freya will have a key role in the unfolding story.
A new God of War will launch in 2021 for PS5.
