God of War: Ragnarok shows off Svartalfheim in latest trailer

The game takes place a few years after the original game ended just as winter is coming to an end. Ragnarok is prophesized to happen at the end of Fimbulwinter, the great winter that spans three summers. Svartalfheim Kratos and Atreus will explore the nine realms to prevent Ragnarok from happening.

The gameplay footage for Svartalfheim will give us a sneak peek of what the realm will look like when the game is released. The start of the footage shows an intricate waterway and several more structures showing off the ingenuity of the Dwarves. The level has features like mine pits, waterways, and cities that Kratos and Atreus have to navigate.

With these intricate features comes complex puzzles that the player needs to solve in order to progress through an area. Ragnarok will require Kratos to use the full capabilities of his abilities to progress. For example, the Leviathan Axe can now freeze geysers using a new ability, Frost Awaken, while Blades of Chaos can now dismantle pots. Atreus can also help out with hard-to-reach objects.

So far, the latest Ragnarok gameplay trailer shows off some simple puzzles but things will get more difficult and complicated in the actual game.

After a lengthy delay from its initial launch date, Ragnarok will arrive on November 9.

Ragnarok is available to pre-order in the Standard, Digital Deluxe, Collector's Edition, and Jötnar Edition.
