Sony Santa Monica and PlayStation have finally revealed that God of War Ragnarok will launch on November 9 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

A short trailer was issued to commemorate the release date announcement, and it features Kratos and Atreus facing off against a giant wolf enemy, presumably Fenrir.

The game also has two special editions, the Collector’s Edition and Jotnar Edition. The Collector’s Edition includes a digital copy of the game, steelbook case, two wooden toy carvings of the Huldra Brothers, a Dwarven dice set, and a 16-inch replica of Thor’s Mjolnir. It also comes with some digital items, such as the Darkdale armor, blade handles, an axe grip for Kratos, and matching Darkdale attire for Atreus. A digital soundtrack, artbook, avatar set, and PS4 theme are provided as well.

The Jotnar Edition is similar but includes a few additional goodies, such as a vinyl record of the game’s music by Bear McCreary, a pin set, a Draupnir Ring, Brok’s dice set, and Yggdrasil cloth map. It also contains the digital voucher for the game, steelbook case, the two wooden toy carvings, and the Mjolnir Replica, as well as the same digital items from the Collector’s Edition. Both editions will go on sale starting July 15.

Thor’s voice actor, Ryan Hurst, and art director Rafael Grassetti discussed the contents of the editions in a video.

Sony’s reported plan to stop producing PS5 discs in 2028 would push PlayStation deeper into a digital-first future, where access depends on licenses, storefront policy, and platform support lasting longer than companies usually promise.

That’s tidy for Sony and ugly for game preservation.

It also raises questions about long-term ownership, resale rights, and whether players can truly rely on purchases to remain accessible decades later.

The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.
