With God of War Ragnarok’s free DLCValhalla reportedly out in just a few hours for PS4 and PS5 players, co-director Mihir Sheth has confirmed that it will add new Trophies. The good news is that these will be separate from the base game and won’t affect the Platinum Trophy.
Valhalla serves as an epilogue to Ragnarok, and though it’s accessible at any time, you may want to finish the story before jumping in. It sees Kratos and Mimir venturing to the mythical location and delving into its depths to face off against familiar enemies in a rogue-lite fashion. Kratos has his weapons and Skills unlocked, but Runic Attacks and Perks are chosen randomly in each run.
There are also Glyphs which provide stat boosts and five difficulty settings, with an end-game challenge that’s so difficult on “Give Me Mastery” that even the development team can’t clear. God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla reportedly goes live at 9 AM PST today and weighs about 7.6 GB. Head here for more details on what to expect, and check out some new gameplay here.

The first patch for God of War Ragnarok's new Valhalla DLC is in, and the result is an overall difficulty bump for the already cutthroat roguelike mode.
The latest God of War Ragnarok: Valhallapatch is now live, addressing ongoing bugs while balancing difficulty and combat in the DLC.
Sony Santa Monica Studio has deployed God of War Ragnarok Update 05.03, packing various fixes and nerfing the Tyr boss fight in the free Valhalla DLC.
God of War Ragnarok is an action adventure game created by PS Studios developer Santa Monica Studio for PS5 and PS4, and is the sequel to 2018's critically acclaimed God of War. In our God of War Ragnarok review, we described the title as «phenomenal» and awarded it a 10/10.
God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla is an unfortunate amalgamation of Norse words. However, the incoming free DLC (out today, 12th December) looks like a delicious second helping for fans of Sony Santa Monica's most recent release. We learned that Valhalla would serve as an epilogue to Kratos's story, and now we have a trailer showing it in randomly generated action.
God of War Ragnarok's free DLC is out now on PS5 and PS4. Adding a whole new component to Kratos' Game of the Year-worthy epic, Valhalla tasks players with battling through an increasingly dangerous gauntlet of opponents in roguelike fashion. For some, 'roguelike' is without a doubt a dirty term, but this expansion promises a personal journey for our favourite bald Spartan, as the grizzled warrior comes to terms with his past (and what might await him in his future).
Santa Monica Studios' free God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla DLC is proving to be much more than merely a tacked-on roguelike experience, surprising players with its narrative heft and implications for Kratos and the future of the God of War franchise. Santa Monica didn't do itself any favours by mainly focusing on the mechanical in its unveiling trailer, but you can't keep a good story down.
Even by AAA standards, God of War Ragnarök is a colossal game. It interweaves tales of fatherhood, legacies, and cataclysmic events in a semi-open world replete with things to do. But in Valhalla, its free DLC, Santa Monica Studio boils combat and adventure down to a much simpler formula. In pulling from Hades’ approach to storytelling, God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla weaponizes repetition to engross you in its roguelite narrative, drip-feeding you deeper knowledge of the Ghost of Sparta and the characters around him with each successive run.
One of the coolest announcements at The Game Awards last week was the surprise reveal of the free Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok. That DLC is out now, and players have been astounded to find just how rich and fully featured it is.
God of Ragnarok: Valhalla has launched, mere days after its surprise announcement at The Game Awards, bringing a free, story-driven roguelite mode to the acclaimed action-adventure title that serves as an epilogue to the base game’s story. Interestingly enough, however, it seems the game’s story still might not be done.
The file size for God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla has been confirmed.
The Ghost of Sparta, Kratos, is coming back for the God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla DLC, and we have everything you need to know about the gameplay details, release date and UK launch time.
