Ragnarök crashes into London
Released in 2018 on the PlayStation 4, the reboot of God of War is positioned as the best-selling title in the saga in the United Kingdom. But that was before. The Ragnarok Era outperformed the UK market in terms of physical sales. The latter retains its top spot in the UK physical debut of 2023, making the Santa Monica title the franchise’s top UK launch. To mark the attachment of the local fans, sony hit (literally) a big blow. Literally and figuratively, the Japanese giant does not do things by halves.
In order to promote the event “Live from the PS5”the firm deploys ultimate marketing means to monopolize the public’s attention. Head to the South Bank in London, near the River Thames, where there is a giant replica of Kratos’ legendary weapon, the Leviathan Axe. The PlayStation UK Twitter account was responsible for revealing the surprise on social networks: “Our information is that Kratos is spamming the Triangle in Midgard right now.”
A simple “happening”
Impressive but true, it was above all necessary to be there at the right time to fully enjoy the show. Crushed on the ground since Monday January 30, the work has already been repackaged. If players thought they would find a clue about a potential expansion, Sony would simply have given this coup de grace in order to revive the craze around the game and the PlayStation 5. Victim of a shortage last year, it is now possible to get the console without a hitch. Especially since the New Game Plus is expected in the coming months, for those who want to resume the game while keeping the equipment and abilities accumulated in a previous game.
