God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC is out now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, less than a week after it was revealed at The Game Awards 2023. It features a good bit of story content that acts as an epilogue to the events of Ragnarok, and it’s packaged within a roguelite structure, meaning it’s heavy on the combat. Apparently, there’s an endgame challenge in Valhalla so difficult that nobody on the dev team could complete it on the DLC’s “Show Me Mastery” difficulty, according to Valhalla’s director Mihir Sheth.
“I am so, so curious to see how quickly players will humble us…as they often do…but maybe this time we’ve beaten them?” Sheth writes on Twitter, as first reported by Wccftech.

God of War Ragnarok, the sequel to 2018’s God of War reboot, hit PS5 and PS4 more than a year ago – read Game Informer’s review to find out why it was one of our favorite games of 2022. While many fans expected some kind of follow-up to the ending of Ragnarok, be it a sequel down the road or an expansion, it’s safe to say nobody had roguelite DLC on their bingo cards. But a roguelite DLC called Valhalla is exactly what developer Santa Monica Studios announced last week. Now, God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC is out and apparently has the hardest challenge in the entire series.
