To increase the fans' excitement, the announcement came coupled with the game's latest trailer where fans got a sneak peek on the new adventure that series protagonist Kratos will experience alongside his son and protege, Atreus.
As the trailer hints, Kratos will have to complete his mission while also dealing with how he reveals his true nature to his son. At one point in the video, he was seen teaching Atreus the importance of gaining control over their weapons and power.
Meanwhile, in Barlog's blog post, the developer also revealed the pre-order offers and special editions of the game.
