The upcoming battle between the gods and humans in Record of Ragnarok was announced to stream exclusively on Netflix this June with a brand new trailer and updated Netflix-branded key visual.
Obviously, this is only a small slither of what's to come from Netflix late last year, but after their special presentation earlier in the year, there couldn't have been much more to show off.
