According to director Eric Williams, Ragnarok not only allows for the exploration of previously unvisited realms of Asgard, Vanaheim and Svartavheim, but also in known changes will also take place in the world. This is especially true of Lac des Neuf, a large crossroad that needs a new means of transport, as it is now completely frozen. This is where Speki and Svanna come in, after wolves were seen pulling Kratos and Atreus’ vehicles from one point to another in the area. That doesn’t mean the canoes are set, Kratos is done rowing, and the climate is more favorable in some kingdoms where rivers are still fertile.
The same goes for Svartavheim, a kingdom in which the dwarves display all their engineering sciences. According to level designers James Riding and Jon Hickenbottom, Svartalfheim will be one of the hotspots to explore in Ragnarok, as well as a place that embodies the desire to bring more variety and variety to the structure of the game. The video shows some simple mechanics like freezing a geyser with a leviathan axe or destroying a steam pot with a blade of chaos, don’t forget to call on Atreus to let him interact with elements that are out of reach with his daron on his lap, admittedly Holy but aging.
Note that while the video isn’t shown, Game Informer was able to see more gameplay, including Kratos and Atreus arriving in a seemingly impressive city that Mimir calls Niðavellir. “The last game we felt a little lonely. So, especially at Svartaffheim, we tried to show a lively mentality.Besides the two of you, there’s something here‘ commented James Riding.
