During development, Sony Santa Monica realised none of its playtesters understood one of God of War Ragnarok's most important scenes. Here's how they fixed it:

With much of the final, climactic level in place and the last few visual effects coming in, the developers at Sony Santa Monica realised they had a bit of a problem: there's a big plot development that happens here, essential to the entire story of God of War Ragnarok - but nobody who played the game would notice it.

If you've played it, Smith explained, you'll know that those deaths are"absolutely pivotal" to Atreus and Kratos' big moments of realisation."The scene makes no sense without it! And our animation team absolutely did not have time to add more." The reality, Smith explained, was that the scene was almost"the definition of cognitive overload, there's just too much going on," with a huge amount of visual effects, explosions, monsters and all the rest on screen at once, plus Sindri and Atreus in the foreground.

Smith, revealed that she had ingeniously re-used the different sections of the trench that the player walks through as Atreus on their first visit to Asgard, for instance, by"literally cutting and pasting" them and then rotating, repositioning, and reordering them into an entirely new path for the Ragnarok battle.
