What is God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla DLC?
The DLC’s story serves as an epilogue to God of War: Ragnarok, leading players on a personal journey with Kratos and Mimir to the mysterious shores of Valhalla. It delves into Kratos’s past and internal struggles, offering a fresh narrative perspective.
The expansion features an integrated combat system that combines the familiar mechanics of God of War: Ragnarok with elements inspired by rogue-lite games. When Kratos falls in combat, he can start again, allowing players to gather resources and knowledge for permanent upgrades with each attempt.
The DLC offers extensive customization in terms of equipment and skills. While Kratos retains access to all his weapons and fully upgraded skill trees, players can make strategic choices for each play attempt, including access to stat upgrades and perks that can alter the gameplay. In this expansion, armor is purely visual, allowing players to unlock various styles and mix and match them to their preference.
