God of War: Ragnarök julkaistaan Playstationille vuonna 2022, ja trailereista on jo nyt nähty, että Kratos hyödyntää myös kilpiä. Moinen toki muuttaa taisteluita, ja lisätietoa on kertonut maailmalle Jon Ford, joka haastatteli ohjaaja Eric Williamsia ja tuottaja Cory Barlogia.
Mukana on todellakin useita erilaisia kilpiä, joista jokaisella on omat kykynsä.
"I don't want to go too deep on it, but yes, there are different shields, and they have different defensive options and abilities. The reason we're doing this is we really want to open up expressive choice to the way that you build your Kratos, like the equipment and loadout and things like that. So all the way down to the defense, you can kind of play a little differently. And then the enemies know how to respond to that, or force you into these different situations where you need to use different things. So I think it will be fun for players to explore that. But also, we wanted it to be more expressive, where your choices matter when you set them up."
