Taking place three years following the events of the previous film, Fimbulwinter, a great winter that spans three summers, is drawing to a close, which will begin the prophesied Ragnarök. Kratos and his teenage son Atreus, begin to traverse the nine realms to seek out a means to prevent Ragnarök, while attempting to uncover answers behind Atreus’ identity as Loki. Their journey will lead them to the Norse God of War, Týr, who was previously believed to be dead. Their conflict will lie with Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, and ally-turned-enemy Freya, who seeks revenge following the death of her son, Baldur.
