God of War Ragnarok's latest patch for the Valhalla DLC has ramped up the challenge for players looking for a tougher experience. The update is particularly focused on the game's post-launch content, with a roguelike mode that is now more challenging due to tweaks in difficulty levels, especially in optional challenges across all game settings. While the patch does make the first Tyr fight easier on the lowest difficulty, it generally increases the difficulty of arena challenges and adjusts perks related to health gain and procs. The update also includes various gameplay, user interface, and stability improvements, ensuring a smoother gaming experience. For those concerned about God of War's future, the senior writer of the game hints at a continuation of the story, though details are scarce and likely a few years away.
