God of War Ragnarok Launched Midnight: Cast, Story, and More

After 4 years of waiting, God of War Ragnarok is finally here, and the game has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and fans. In anticipation of the hype surrounding the game's release, several major retail stores in India announced Midnight Launches for the game in select cities across India, and from the looks of it, fans have lined up in droves, confirming that the God of War fandom is alive and well in the country.

Fans in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, and other cities queued for the game at midnight on November 8th, and went home with a copy of Santa Monica Studio's latest, God of War Ragnarok. The game is a sequel to 2018's God of War, which set a high bar for AAA games, and it appears that its sequel will do the same for years to come.

India is currently a massive gaming market, as evidenced by the thriving mobile gaming space and esports. It will be interesting to see sales figures for God of War Ragnarok from Indian retailers. 2022 has been a massive year for gaming fans in India, with Elden Ring, one of the year's biggest releases, receiving similar acclaim.

According to reports, retailers imported a large number of copies of the game, which appeared to fly off the shelves as quickly as they arrived. This is a hugely encouraging sign for both gamers and publishers who were previously skeptical about India's viability as a major market for console/PC games. Platform owners such as Nintendo have yet to establish an official presence in the country, but given the recent developments, this could change soon.

However, gaming is about to become significantly more expensive, as Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will now cost Rs 5,000 more than it did at launch. This is a reaction to global economic conditions, and it remains to be seen how it affects sales - but we should know soon because the next restock is set to go live with updated prices.
