In terms of making gamers with physical disabilities a better experience, the industry has been answering accordingly (and in my opinion Microsoft leading on this), so it is not uncommon to have Sony highlighting this as part of a future game launch.

And it is none other than God Of War Ragnarok, the sequel of the 2018 soft reboot of the franchise that follows the spartan warrior and former God Of War Kratos dealing now with the Nordic mythology.

While being silent on a release date, Sony announced that the final product of God Of War Ragnarok will include 60 news accessibilities features, some that debuted on the PC version of God Of War (2018).

The highlighted features includes:

  • *Sprint Auto Sprint: You will sprint while the stick is held and stop when released.  When Auto Sprint is active, you can begin sprinting by pressing the move stick forward for a short period of time in one direction. The duration required to engage the Auto Sprint is configurable by you.
  • *Persistent Dot (Always on Reticle): If you need additional focal points to reduce motion sickness, or just want a persistent reminder of the center of the screen, we offer the ability to turn on a center dot in three different sizes and seven different colors.
  • *Aim Style: You can choose to use either hold or toggle on/off the aim stance.
  • *Block Style: You can choose to use either hold or toggle on/off the shield stance.
  • Subtitle and Caption Size: We have increased our minimum text size and added new scaling. This includes an extra-large text size to make subtitles and captions more readable. We have also dedicated a larger text area to match TV and movie subtitle standards.
  • Subtitle and Caption Colors: You can adjust the colors of speaker names, subtitle body, and captions individually. You will be able to choose between seven different colors.
  • *Speaker Names: As in God of War (2018), you can show or hide speaker names. You can set this size independent from the UI text size.
  • Captions: With expanded sound effects captions, we’ve added several new ways to understand in-game sound. We’ve added captions to both cinematics and gameplay to provide a rich understanding of the soundscape of the world. You can also enable captions for critical gameplay information to assist with puzzles and narrative understanding.
  • Direction Indicator: Critical gameplay sounds now have an optional direction indicator which shows the direction a sound is coming from. To assist with puzzles that have sound cues, this indicator will help you orient towards the source of an important sound.
  • Text Size / Icon Size Modifiers
  • Controller Remapping
  • High Contrast Activation Customization: Select off, on, or always on for gameplay only (this will exclude cinematics). High contrast mode can be set to toggle on and off from a swipe for easy access. This mode will automatically disable when in a settings menu or character menu.
  • High Contrast Color Customization: Select a color palette that fits your playstyle and adjust individual colors for characters, enemies, and items.  
  • High Contrast Background Customization: Separately select mid-tone or darkened background contrast levels.
  • Navigation Assist: New to God of War, this camera navigation system allows you to orient your view towards your compass objective. When not in combat, pressing the Navigation Assist button will orient your view in the direction of the next story goal.
  • Traversal Assistance: Gap jumping, vaulting, mantling, and other traversal features can now be automated based on the direction you press.
  • Assistance +: Adds interaction-based moves like climbs, crawls, and squeeze-through.
  • Audio Cues: We have linked a sound cue to each of the on-screen interact prompts, so that when using this feature, you can hear when an interact icon is nearby, as well as when the button prompt becomes active.

Despite all this, Sony only limited to say that Santa Monica Studio is preparing to share more details as soon as launch nears and apparently, the game will be launching by the later parts of 2022.
