See, Fenrir may have been “raised” by the gods in Norse mythology, but they were always aware of how dangerous Fenrir was. He also played a small role (or as small a role as he possibly could play) in Thor: Ragnarok (though he went by the name Fenris in that movie). If that’s not Fenrir, then it seems that there is somehow another wolf the size of a large building running around God of War Ragnarok’s world.Īctually, the bigger story here might be Fenrir’s motivations and loyalties rather than his strict origins. While that giant wolf is never officially identified in the God of War Ragnarok trailer, it certainly appears to be Fenrir: the massive mythological beast who is arguably best known for biting off Týr’s hand. Granted, that trailer was little more than a CG showcase designed to whet our appetites, but it happened to feature our first look at a giant wolf that has confused GoW fans and Norse mythology buffs alike.
While those two updates have understandably been dominating headlines in the last 24 hours or so, it’s worth noting that the Ragnarok team also released a new trailer for the long-awaited sequel.
The PlayStation Studios team has finally confirmed God of War Ragnarok’s release date (November 9) and even revealed an elaborate special edition of the upcoming game to celebrate the announcement.
