![]() He instructs Kratos to cut off his head and have it revived by the witch, revealed to be the Vanir goddess Freya. Mimir, however, knows of another passage. Mimir also reveals that the highest peak of all nine realms is actually in Jötunheim, but access there has been blocked off by Odin and Thor. Upon vanquishing the mist and reaching Midgard's peak, Kratos and Atreus find out the Stranger who attacked them is alive and has two henchmen, the sons of Thor, Magni and Modi at his side, interrogating an imprisoned man, revealed to be Mimir.Īfter they leave, Kratos and Atreus confront Mimir, who reveals the Stranger as Baldur, an Aesir and son of Odin who is the paranoid All-Father and king of Asgard. After running into impenetrable black mist which can only be extinguished with the Light of Alfheim, they receive aid from the Witch to use the Bifröst in order to travel to Alfheim and secure the Light. Reaching the Lake of Nine, Kratos and Atreus encounter the friendly World Serpent, Jörmungandr, the last remaining giant. They also meet the Dwarven Huldra brothers, Brok and Sindri who upgrade their weaponry throughout their journey, and a mysterious but friendly Witch of the Woods, who also provides help in her own way after they save her boar, which Atreus accidentally shot. Kratos and Atreus soon encounter many hurdles in their journey and fend them off. After seemingly killing him, Kratos reluctantly takes Atreus with him and begins their journey. Kratos is soon attacked by a mysterious stranger with godlike powers, and who cannot feel anything physically. However much to Kratos' disappointment, Atreus proves his incompetence and lack of focus, making Kratos reconsider taking Atreus in his journey.

Naturally, I’d still rather see Sony push its studios and developers to bring out more exclusive PS5 games. (And a lack of dropped frames could also help me not die pitifully to a New Game+ Father Gascoigne.) At 4K/60 fps, I think From Software’s dark and brutal Victorian-esque horror game will take on a new, gory life. I’m really hoping for an optimized version of Horizon Zero Dawn, so I can see its beautiful post, post-apocalyptic environments in full 4K, 60 fps glory.īut more than that, I want a 60 fps version of Bloodborne. Yet if other PlayStation-centric developers follow in Santa Monica Studio's footsteps, then we could see that change. While you can play a whole suite of PS4 games on the new hardware, including a curated selection through the PS Plus Collection, they aren't optimized for the PS5. This God of War update is also promising news for PS5 backwards compatibility in general.
