God of War: Ragnarök producer Cory Barlog took to Twitter to dismiss the rumours that the title would be getting a big announcement at the end of June 2022.
This rumour has been circling the gaming community for the last couple of weeks, and many were convinced the announcement would include an official release date.
However, Barlog confirmed yesterday that this supposed announcement isn’t happening.
“If it were up to me I would share all the information when I know about it – but it is not up to me – so please, be patient,” said Barlog.
This tweet from Barlog fuelled fan concerns that the highly-anticipated game will only be coming in 2023, and that the developing studio Santa Monica is just delaying this bad news.
However, after one fan replied to the tweet by saying, “Why won’t you all just go on and tell us that Ragnarök is delayed,” Barlog responded to the fan by saying “because it’s not.”
Additionally, a recent Bloomberg report noted that God of War: Ragnarök is planned to release this November, according to three people familiar with the game’s development.
Although this is technically a delay, as the game was originally planned for release in September, it’s still a good sign.
While these dates are not official, this news should bring some relief to God of War fans, as it points to the fact that the new title is still likely to release sometime before the end of 2022.
dear all,
if it were up to me I would share all the information when I know about it. but it is not up to me.
so please, be patient.
I promise things will be shared at the earliest possible moment they can be.
