The long-awaited sequel to 2018’s God of War has many different options that each include its own set of extras for those that purchase each respective bundle, where the biggest of them all being the God of War Ragnarök Jötnar edition.

Many of the listings will be shown catered to the PlayStation 5 prices. Additionally, each bundle will add to what was previously listed, so, the Jötnar edition will feature everything seen from the other bundles.

• 16” Mjölnir Replica: Replica of Thor’s signature weapon that can be seen in God of War Ragnarök.

God of War Ragnarök Jötnar edition ($259.99 for PS5)

 The God of War Ragnarök Jötnar edition takes everything that you found impressive with the Collector’s Edition to an entirely different level. God of War fans that are truly invested in the lore and items in the game will be impressed by this gigantic bundle of items. Those that purchase the God of War Ragnarök Jötnar edition will receive everything from the Collector’s Edition box plus five more items that could enhance the God of War experience tenfold.

Which bundle or edition should you choose?

 In the end, there are not many wrong choices to choose from. Instead, go with what you feel you can afford at the moment. While, the God of War Ragnarök Jötnar edition is your best deal purely for the number of items that your receive, you will not miss out on the action if you were simply to pre-order the game for $69.99. Additionally, if you are solely focused on playing the game and have no intentions of the collectibles you will receive from the Collectors and Jötnar editions, then consider purchasing the Digital Deluxe Edition. 

 Given the rising costs of video games and consoles, like the PlayStation 5, it is an option that is great as well for those not wanting to commit to the price tag that accompanies the Jötnar edition. That being said, if you are planning on purchasing the Jötnar edition, you will need to hurry as the stock of it is nearly out. Still, whatever option you pick will be a good one as players begin to warm up to the upcoming release of God of War Ragnarök.

God of War Ragnarök will be released on Nov. 9, 2022, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The upcoming game was developed by Santa Monica Studio and will be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. After multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, God of War Ragnarök is finally almost on its way. The upcoming ninth installment to the God of War series is set to provide players with over 40 hours of gameplay, where 20 of those hours go to the main story campaign.
