《戰神：諸神黃昏》已於11月9日正式推出，遊戲中在安全屋門口出現的松鼠“拉塔託斯克”相比也給玩家們留下了深刻的印象，畢竟這位在前作中更像是阿特柔斯的一種能力存在。
Williams希望松鼠“拉塔託斯克”的存在是遊戲流程中的輕鬆一刻，能有效調節諸神黃昏中壓抑的劇情，這就是遊戲中做出這個角色的原因。不過他還透露給這個松鼠配樂還是廢了一番功夫，畢竟音樂要歡快一些和主題音樂風格差的比較遠。
對於為什麼在本作中將他實體、人格化，遊戲總監“Eric Williams”給出了答案。他表示“我希望松鼠這個角色出現在遊戲中，雖然團隊認為必須削減掉這個角色，因為出場人物太多了。”松鼠“拉塔託斯克”是遊戲中最幽默風趣的角色。
The God of War series, over its Greek and Norse eras, isn't exactly known for its humour and lightheartedness. While the Greek era was all about Kratos being angry while killing Gods, the latter has – as Odin succinctly put – also been about Kratos killing Gods, but while being sad about it. However, Kratos' travels through the Nine Realms have surely been a bit more cheery, in no small part thanks to his companions. While Mimir, the Huldra brothers, and even Atreus tended to lift the mood at times, Ragnarok introduced a character which some devs thought was a bit too much. Look back at every entry in the series, and try to remember the sheer magnitude of the foes that Kratos faced. Not once did he ever freeze in fear or confusion. Yet, when faced with a slightly large, one-eyed, talking squirrel, the Ghost of Sparta stopped dead in his tracks and just couldn't seem to comprehend this well-mannered, jolly, and cute furball. Ratatoskr, as we eventually learned, is the caretaker of Yggdrasil, and one of the most lighthearted characters in the entire series. Watching grumpy old Kratos trying to interact with him brings a moment of levity during the events of Ragnarok.

We have too many characters.’ And I was like, ‘No! He’s staying in the game.’” However, it wasn't easy for him to convince the rest of the team that Ratatoskr should stay. “That scene where he shows up? That was the one everybody was like, ‘Okay, are we going too far?’” Williams says. “Even the music director was like, ‘I don't even know what to do with the music here. This is so far away from God of War. We don't even have music written that will help this along!’ They had to go back and piece some stuff together for it because it was so foreign to what God of War is.”
