According to Gamereactor, multiple European sources have confirmed that Sony’s highly anticipated title God of War: Ragnarök will be delayed to 2023 by developer Santa Monica Studio.
While Sony has yet to confirm the delay, it doesn’t come as a surprise given the fact that many titles which were given an initial release date within 2021 and 2022 have been pushed back due to interruptions caused by the pandemic.
Another telling sign was the absence of the game during Sony’s latest PlayStation State of Play, which focused solely on third-party titles and VR releases.
God of War: Ragnarök was first delayed from its initial 2021 release window to 2022.
The decision was made “to ensure that Santa Monica Studio can deliver the amazing God of War game that we all want to play,” said Head of PlayStation StudiosHerman Hulst.
Some speculated that the game’s most likely release would be in September or October 2022, which may no longer be the case.
Official update expected today
However, many fans took to Twitter to point out the fact that the PlayStation Store page for God of War: Ragnarök was updated yesterday.
Final Fantasy XVI had the same thing happen last week ahead of its re-emergence at the State of Play.
This has led some to believe that the game could be getting a showing at Summer Game Fest, which could either prove these rumours wrong or confirm them with an official announcement that the title will only release sometime in 2023.
The Summer Game Fest will be broadcasted on YouTube and Twitch today (9 June) at 20:00 SAST.
