The second setting debuting in God of War Ragnarok for PC is the option for cinematic audio descriptions. Enabled from the Audio Accessibility menu, this option plays audio descriptions of visual events during cinematics.

“These descriptions will provide additional contextual information alongside the spoken dialogue to create a more detailed experience for players with low vision,” the blog post says.
