Valhalla is a free DLC to God of War: Ragnarok, set in the titular Norse afterlife. The expansion is a roguelike, meaning permadeath and many random elements each run.
God of War: Ragnarok - Valhalla is a free expansion to the 2022 action adventure game. Like the base game, it was developed by Sony Santa Monica.
Plot
The expansion is set after the events of Ragnarok. It takes place in the titular Norse afterlife for fallen warriors. This journey lets Kratos make peace with his past and think about the future. He goes there alone, without his son, accompanied only by Mimir's head.
Mechanics
The journey to Valhalla differs from Kratos' previous adventures, as the DLC is a roguelike. Every death forces us to return to the beginning but lets us keep acquired resources, making each run easier than the last.
We start the game with all the upgrades from the base game, earning further upgrades along the way, such as perks and runic attacks. They let us greatly customize our playstyle, experimentation being encouraged.
We'll face both combat and numerous puzzles. Many elements, such as encountered enemies, are randomly determined each run, which means the game stays fresh for longer.
Game modes
Like the base version of God of War: Ragnarok, the DLC only supports singleplayer. It offers five difficulty levels - the higher we choose, the greater rewards we'll receive. We can change the difficulty at the beginning of each run.
Technical aspects
Valhalla is not a standalone expansion, requiring the full version of God of War: Ragnarok.
