At today's TGA2023, Santa Monica Studio announced that God of War: Ragnarok will release a brand-new free DLC titled Valhalla on December 12.

According to official announcement,

God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla will be an epilogue to the events of God of War Ragnarök that follows Kratos on a deeply personal and reflective journey.

Set after the decisive battle against Odin and Atreus’ departure, Kratos has seen a path for himself that he never thought possible before. Brought to the mysterious shores of Valhalla accompanied only by Mimir, Kratos will enter its unknown depths to overcome trials within himself and face echoes of his past.

God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla will feature elements inspired by the roguelite genre, urging players to explore diverse combat styles to confront novel combinations of foes and diverse challenges. If Kratos falls in Valhalla, he will respawn at the entrance, ready for another attempt. The greater the challenges you conquer, the more resources you'll gain to enhance your strength.

Kratos will constantly have access to all his weapons and fully upgraded skill trees, but for each attempt, he must commit to a shield and the path of Spartan Rage. While conquering the challenges of Valhalla and delving into its depths, you'll be faced with decisions, such as choosing between temporary Glyphs to upgrade stats, select perks, wield runic attacks, and more. The outcome of each attempt may vary based on the rewards you choose, so choose wisely.

In Valhalla, armor serves purely for aesthetic purposes, enabling you to customize your style without any constraints. With five difficulty options, Valhalla offers increasing rewards and challenges for players to test their skills. Players at any level of progress or equipment can take on the Valhalla challenge. If you're wary of spoilers, it's advisable to complete the main storyline first, as Valhalla's narrative unfolds after the events of the main game.
