Today is World Accessibility Awareness Day, an event that has not gone unnoticed by Sony Santa Monica, which is why it wanted to reveal what kind of features it is developing for the future God of War Ragnarök to make it more accessible to everyone.
Among them there will be more than 60 different options so that everyone can adapt the gameplay to their style or their needs. In fact, some of them have been extracted directly from the PC version of the previous God of War, such as the automatic race when tilting the control stick or choosing the preferred aiming and blocking style.
But the new installment of the saga wants to go even further and focus these new options on other sections. In that sense, they can customize infinite subtitle details, such as their color, size or putting a background on them so they can be seen and read better. In addition, the colors will not be fixed, so that each one can opt for the one they like the most.
Likewise, the background of the subtitles can be blurred so that what is behind them does not bother or darken it in case it is difficult to read what it says in snowy scenarios. Direction indicators can even be placed on the sounds in case we want to be clear about where they come from.
And the text is not the only thing that has been perfected, because the size of the icons can also be increased to make them more visible, while the controls will not be fixed, so everyone can assign the buttons at willeither individually or among several configurations that will be established as standard.
On the other hand, a mode will be implemented to change the colors of characters, enemies, objectives and other elements, so that any of them are more visible on the screen. This will allow you to choose the color that will be used for each one or adjust the levels, but it will also be accompanied by new audio cues to hear a sound when there is something with which we can interact.
Of course with all this it will be achieved that the experience of God of War Ragnarok be unique and personal to each one. Sony Santa Monica has stated that its intention is that this be the most accessible chapter of the saga of allalthough at the moment we are still waiting to know when it will go on sale on PS4 and PS5, that there is a desire to distribute tow with Kratos.
