Set three years after the events of the previous game, Fimbulwinter is coming to an end, and it is prophesied that Ragnarök will begin as soon as it ends. Now a teenager, Atreus, still reeling from the revelations of the previous game, seeks answers about his identity as Loki, as well as a way to prevent Ragnarök. To uncover the truth, Kratos and Atreus set out to find answers and seek out the giant Norse god of war, Tyr, who was previously believed to be dead. As they traverse the Nine Realms, the duo must face new threats, including Thor, the enraged god of thunder, and Freya, their former friend and ally, who seeks revenge after the death of her son Baldur at the hands of Kratos.
