Ragnarok is coming and it's almost here. Sony Santa Monica's God of War Ragnarok will hit PS5 and PS4 this November, continuing Kratos and Atreus' story as the calamity draws near. PlayStation hasn't revealed too many details about God of War Ragnarok, but the death count might be high if it's anything like the fabled myth. Thor doesn't seem to have taken too kindly to Kratos killing his sons in the last game, either.
Ahead of its release on Nov. 9, preorders are now live. Given how acclaimed God of War from 2018 was, it's no surprise that God of War Ragnarok will have some impressive collector's editions. We'll break down what comes in each edition and where you can preorder them.
God of War Ragnarok: Every edition available and where to preorder
God of War Ragnarok will come in four separate editions: the Launch Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, Collector's Edition, and Jotnar Edition. Preorders are now live through various retailers.
Those who purchase the standard edition of God of War Ragnarok on PS4 can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10. The rest of the editions include both the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game.
God of War Ragnarok: Launch and Standard Editions
The Launch Edition comes with the bare essentials, as can be expected. Players will get a copy of God of War Ragnarok on either PS4 or PS5. Those who preorder it will also receive the Kratos Risen Snow Armor and the Atreus Risen Snow Tunic cosmetics.
The only difference between what PlayStation is calling the Standard Edition and the Launch Edition is that the latter is for players who preorder the game. Those who purchase the game after Nov. 9 will receive the Standard Edition without any preorder bonuses.
God of War Ragnarok: Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition offers more for fans who aren't content with just the game itself but don't want to shell out the big bucks on more expensive editions. The in-game items are unlocked via story progression.

Gear up for Ragnarok
We have our own predictions about what will happen in God of War Ragnarok, but we won't find out what ultimately happens until it releases on Nov. 9, 2022. Regardless of how the story plays out, it's expected to join the ranks of the best PS5 games around considering its predecessor quickly became an all-time great.
