God of War: Ragnarok endgame content

Currently God of War: Ragnarok does not feature a New Game+ option, but even after the credits roll you’ll find a number of challenges lying in wait, especially if you didn’t finish that list of Favors.

After the credits finish you’ll get a new Goal, Beyond Ragnarok, which allows you to go back and complete Favors.

But on top of that, there will be new encounters, cutscenes, and Favors available to complete, in addition to storyline conclusions for many characters. If you enjoy the world of God of War: Ragnarok, it’s well worth going for completion, even if it takes 50 hours.
