Ragnarök (Echoes of History)

This article is about the Echoes of History season. You may be looking for the mythical battle.

Ragnarök is the second season in the Echoes of History podcast series. Released on 24 March 2022,^[1] it was made to tie in with Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's downloadable expansion Dawn of Ragnarök and so loosely adapted parts of Norse mythology as told in the Gylfaginning poems from Snorri Sturluson's 13th-century text, the Prose Edda. It notably was the only season in the entire series to also release entirely on YouTube.
