FULL STORY ======================================================================

God of War: Ragnarok could be getting the PC port treatment as well, following the recent revelation of the God of War port .

We should say that this is a tentative rumor at the moment, so approach with caution, but the theory is that God of War: Ragnarok the sequel to God of
War expected to debut on Sonys PS5 (and PS4) in 2022 may also make its way onto the PC platform eventually, or at least this is a possibility going by a clue uncovered on LinkedIn.

That clue comes courtesy of GameRant , which picked up on a Twitter user who spotted the profile of a Senior Programmer at Jetpack Interactive, Warren
Lee, who has a project listed as God of War Ragnarok. So what do you make of this? pic.twitter.com/a6WIdYL5Go October 25, 2021 See more

Now, this could simply be a mistake, and the programmer may have accidentally added the Ragnarok bit without meaning to, whereas in actual fact Lee is working on God of War PC right now.

Of course, Jetpack is the third-party dev in charge of the current God of War port, as Sony has just made clear, with Sonys Santa Monica Studio in the role of overseeing the project, rather than actually doing the port. Analysis: Maybe theres something in this, but dont bet on it

Its not clear, then, whether this is just an accidental typo, or an
indication that Jetpack will not just be converting God of War, but also the sequel Ragnarok, for the PC platform.

In all honesty, we feel the reality is this could be a mistake. However, with God of War finally getting a port, it makes sense that Ragnarok could get the same treatment. The caveat is, of course, that this would likely happen eventually, way down the line, rather than early in Ragnaroks life. Remember that God of War was released for the PS4 in 2018, so its taken quite some
time for the port to come about.

Sony has, of course, indicated that there will be more PC ports in the pipeline , but that they wont be likely to arrive in close proximity to their respective PlayStation exclusive launches. And indeed this makes sense in terms of the tactic of letting PC gamers play God of War early next year ,
for example, and then maybe have them eyeing a PS5 to get going with the sequel Ragnarok when it comes out later in 2022.

Its worth noting that theres been some controversy about the PC port of God
of War being farmed out to Jetpack, and doubts around whether that might affect its quality particularly given recent experience with the initially wonky Horizon Zero Dawn PC conversion . Things are a lot better with the latter game now, though.

Some of the concerns aired online stem from Jetpack playing a supporting role in conversion work for the PC in the past, and this is a big project to take on, obviously. But with Sony Santa Monica providing oversight, hopefully any worries about quality will prove unfounded, and what could be one of the best PS5 games will make an impact in terms of the top games on PC , as well. Here are the best gaming PCs
