![]() Here’s hoping we can delve into Muspelheim and Niflheim more than the first game allowed. It’s likely we’ll get to explore a new area of Midgard, and maybe even return to Kratos’ woodland home. There are still a lot of questions, including how much of these realms we’ll see. Although it received little mention in the first game, Brok and Sindri – the two dwarven blacksmiths who help you – are returning in this next installment. ![]() According to God of War’s lore, she was cursed by Odin to prevent her from leaving Midgard, but we might spend a fair bit of time in Vanaheim given its importance in the Aesir-Vanir conflict.įinally, Svartalfheim is the homeland of the dwarves. Freya – who’s set up to be Ragnarok’s chief antagonist – belongs to them. It’s the homeland of the Vanir gods, a sorcerous pack of deities who were once at war with the Aesir. Norse mythology and its associated sagas are rich in the stories of gods, heroes and everyday folk. Bilskírnir, meanwhile, serves as the seat of Thor, who’s already confirmed to be appearing in the game. Valhalla is ruled over by Odin, so we could end up entering the golden hall. ![]() RELATED: God of War Ragnarok - Who Are Huginn and Muninn Midgard. It’s divided into several regions of its own. With certain elements of the realms revealed, the nine Norse realms in the God of War mythos and their significance becomes clearer. In many ways, it's the largest and central realm of them all, where the most well-known Aesir gods live. Chief among those is Asgard – the home of the Aesir gods and the seat of power in Norse mythology. The final three realms are Asgard, Vanaheim, and Svartalfheim. It looks like God of War Ragnarok will complete the set. You also promptly escape from Helheim, the Norse afterlife for those who die dishonorably and visit Jotunheim in the game’s final moments. Muspelheim, the realm of fire, contains a series of arena challenges while Niflheim includes the Mist Echoes labyrinth. The Nine Worlds (Old Norse Nu Heimar) are the homelands of the various types of beings found in the pre-Christian worldview of the Norse and other Germanic peoples.They’re held in the branches and roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil, although none of the sources for our present knowledge of Norse mythology and religion describe exactly where in and around Yggdrasil they’re located. Alfheim, the home of the light and dark elves, is the second zone you enter. Midgard, the mortal realm, serves as the game’s main explorable region. God of War only includes six of the nine Norse realms, and a handful of those are minor challenge areas rather than fully explorable worlds. It sounds like Ragnarok is taking things up a notch.
