One God of War fan notices a subtle visual reference to the second game in the promotional art for the upcoming Valhalla expansion.

Mihir Sheth from Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC will come with new trophies for fans to unlock. In addition, this trophy list will be separate from the base game, so it will not affect the overall platinum trophy progress for God of War Ragnarok. This move will probably give trophy hunters even more of a reason to play God of War Ragnarok when the Valhalla DLC drops, allowing gamers to further increase their trophy collection without paying extra for the new content.

It’ll be interesting to see what these new trophies will require, and if they will be any more demanding than the ones from the base game. The original trophy list for God of War Ragnarok didn’t feature any trophies tied to a specific difficulty level, so the development team may have decided to follow a similar trend in the case of the Valhalla add-on.

Users interested in playing through this mode should note that God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC will launch at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time on December 12. According to information released by PlayStation, Valhalla serves as an epilogue to God of War Ragnarok, but it functions as a separate experience. So, players can start it without worrying about their current equipment, story progress, or upgrades.

However, Sony recommends completing the main story of God of War Ragnarok before diving into the DLC, as they will likely run into story and gameplay spoilers if they decide to play through it without finishing the base game.
