We have a new category for God of War 2018, it consists of killing all of the post game Valkyries in the shortest time possible. Should be a fairly entertaining route to speedrun. See the rules for more details!
Speed Martyr mentioned something about Valkyrie kill speedruns, so I thought a little bit deeper and considered a Valkyrie% where you race to kill every Valkyrie, traveling included. Of course we would have to create certain rule sets, like if it should allow fast warping to each Valkyrie, or force the runner to find them one by one. Generally speaking I think this could give God of War 2018 a solid, cutsceneless speedrun that still requires all the skill of defeating them in combat. It's a nice middle ground to the restrictiveness of the Any% and Glitchless full game playthroughs.
(Glitches could be considered for the route)
What do you guys think?
A new category has been created for God of War 3. It is a No ECBG (Early Chain Break Glitch). You may read the rules for more details.
There has also been a new rule established for the Glitchless categories. Using any form of movement, whether it be Quick Dashing, Hermes Rush, or delaying the moving animation of Poseidon's Princess to slow down or skip the barrier that rises is now banned. Every fight that spawns a barrier of sorts or a gate, that is meant to delay Kratos until he defeats all enemies in the vacinity, is now unskippable. Battles like this must be fought. There are no exceptions to this rule. The No ECBG category I believe will end up containing this skip anyway, so you guys could start running that.

Uma nova categoria foi criada para God of War 3. Ela se chama No ECBG (Sem o Glitch da Destruição Precoce da Corrente do Equilíbrio). Você pode ler as regras para mais informações.
Além disso, uma nova regra foi estabelecida para as categorias Glitchless (sem bug/glitch). Usar qualquer forma de movimento, seja ela o Quick Dash ou o Hermes Rush, ou retardar a animação de movimento da Princesa de Poseidon para passar pelo portão antes da grade subir está PROIBIDA. Qualquer batalha que possuir um portão ou barreira, cujo propósito é impedir que Kratos possa prosseguir antes de derrotar todos os inimigos, não pode ser pulada. Batalhas deste tipo DEVEM ser lutadas. Não há exceções para esta regra. A categoria No ECBG provavelmente conterá esse skip, então podem praticá-la caso desejem.
