Valhalla is a free DLC available now for owners of God of War: Ragnarok. The mode is inspired by the roguelite genre and sees Kratos traversing through the Norse afterlife.

The PlayStation Store describes the new DLC as follows:
Master Thyself
After the events of Ragnarök, Kratos sees a path for himself he never thought possible, bringing him to the shores of Valhalla.
Accompanied only by Mimir, Kratos embarks on a deeply personal and reflective journey that pushes him to master mind and body as he is confronted with the challenges of Valhalla in an unravelling, replayable adventure that blends the beloved combat from God of War Ragnarök with brand new elements inspired by the roguelite genre.
Kratos’ Journey Continues
In this epilogue to God of War Ragnarök, Kratos enters Valhalla, a new location to the God of War Norse saga. Faced with echoes of his past, he fights to overcome the trials within himself and walk the path laid out before him.
Beloved Combat Reimagined
The team at Santa Monica Studio challenged themselves to create a new way for players to engage with the combat from God of War Ragnarök with fresh and experimental twists inspired by the roguelite genre. God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla will push you to master different aspects of Kratos’ arsenal during each attempt as you face new combinations of enemies and some surprises along the way!
Fight. Learn. Grow.
Death is never the end. Kratos will have access to his weapons, skills, shields, and abilities, but each new attempt will reset his Stats, Runic Attacks, and Perks. As Kratos progresses through each attempt, you will be presented with choices between rewards that will help you push deeper into the mysterious depths of Valhalla while building resources towards persistent upgrades.
God of War: Ragnarok and the free DLC, Valhalla, is available now on the PlayStation 5.
