A few weeks ago, South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee released its rating for God of War Ragnarök, and a batch of Kratos-centric merchandise was recently spotted online. Additionally, voice actor Ryan Hurst recently revealed that he was finished recording lines for God of War Ragnarök's villainous take on Thor, hinting that the game’s development is entering its final stages.
