Exclusive: God of War Ragnarok DLC in the Works - All the Details You Need

Highlights

According to gaming news leaker The Snitch, Santa Monica Studios is working on DLC for God of War Ragnarok.

Contrary to the director's earlier statement, it appears that there might indeed be DLC for God of War Ragnarok, according to this new assertion.

Should the rumor prove accurate, the DLC could potentially act as a link connecting God of War Ragnarok to the subsequent installment in the franchise.

Santa Monica Studios, the reliable source, is reportedly developing downloadable content (DLC) for God of War Ragnarok. The previous installment of the epic action game, released last year, followed the journey of Kratos and Atreus across the Nine Realms of Nordic mythology. Their mission was to unravel a centuries-old prophecy predicting the world's demise. God of War Ragnarok received widespread critical acclaim upon its November release on PlayStation consoles and was nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards.

Naturally, the fanbase of God of War Ragnarok began speculating about the possibility of DLC. However, Eric Williams, the director of the game, seemed to dismiss this idea shortly after its launch. Williams stated that he and his team at Santa Monica Studios had given their all to create the base game, implying that DLC was not in the initial plans. In a similar vein, the highly successful 2018 reboot of God of War did not receive any DLC, although the developers did release minor updates to enhance the gameplay experience after the game's launch.

With this in mind and the reported development of a new game by Santa Monica Studios, it is unlikely that God of War Ragnarok will receive substantial DLC. However, The Snitch, a renowned gaming news leaker, has suggested that Ragnarok may indeed receive new content. In a short video clip shared on the Resetera forums, The Snitch claims that Santa Monica Studios is currently working on a new DLC project that has already reached 60% completion. The nature of this content remains uncertain, as it could either be supplementary DLC or a fully standalone expansion. Furthermore, The Snitch notes that it is unlikely to be released this year.

According to The Snitch, the same source who leaked Rise of Ronin in September, there is speculation about a possible God of War Ragnarok DLC. If The Snitch is to be believed, this rumored DLC is nearing completion and could potentially launch next year. Santa Monica Studios is currently hiring for a mystery project that may or may not be the next mainline God of War game. Therefore, this potential Ragnarok DLC could serve as a bridge between Kratos's previous adventure and his next one. However, it is important to note that all of this is currently speculation. If The Snitch's claims about the DLC's progress are accurate, it may not be too long before Sony makes an official announcement.

God of War Ragnarok is available on PS4 and PS5.
