Yesterday we were disappointed by the absence of God of War Ragnarok from the Summer Game Fest presentation. However, despite growing rumors of a delay, the gaming industry's most knowledgeable journalist continues to insist there is no delay.
Sony plans to officially confirm the release date by the end of June. So, in the next 3 weeks. Gossip about the postponement spread on the Internet the day before yesterday when the Spanish Gamereactor wrote that the postponement had been confirmed "from various European sources".
He was followed by various carnivores and the so-called leakers claiming the same, however, and even then Schreier wrote on the Reseter that he was unfamiliar with such plans. The release date for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 game will be announced later in June, Bloomberg said.
Polygon has reached out to Sony for more information. God of War Ragnarök, the follow-up to the highly lauded 2018 game God of War, was originally slated for release in 2021 but was later delayed, pushing it into the back half of 2022.
God of War Ragnarök’s absence from last week’s State of Play and Thursday’s Summer Game Fest appear to have fueled rumors about the delay.
However, there is still a possibility of delay
Bloomberg noted that there’s still a possibility God of War Ragnarök will be delayed again — but that it’s currently still on schedule for a November release date.
“Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take,” the developer said at that time. “Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches”.
Throughout God of War Ragnarök, Kratos and Atreus will face two main antagonists, Freya and Thor, played by Danielle Biscutti (God of War) and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy).
