Today marks four years since the release of God of War (2018) and developer Sony Santa Monica has posted a quick update video featuring creative director Cory Barlog.
"Speaking of God of War: Ragnarok," said Barlog in the video. "The elephant in the room. Yeah, we haven't said a lot about this. That's because everybody is heads down, hard at work. We are perfectionists.
"Everyone's tightening up the graphics on level three. There is so much going on right now that I just wish that we could share with you, but it's just not ready to be show.
"But I guarantee you the moment, the very second that we have something that we're ready to share we're going to share it with you. Because we don't want to hold any of this back, so please hold tight.
"Know that something cool is coming and that we, everybody here at Santa Monica is so incredibly thankful for all the support that you've given us."
4 years ago, God of War (2018) released! We’re grateful to all of you who joined Kratos and Atreus on their journey, and we’re so proud of the team who worked to bring it to life.

I'm thinking this game will launch in the second half of 2023.
I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets delayed to early 2023, although that would really hurt Sony's holiday lineup.
The holiday lineup doesn't matters much though when the rate they can produce them will probably be the limiting factor for the PS5 for years to come. It's already gotten delayed once though and while you could see that one coming a mile away, you'd think that 1 years delay would be enough... hopefully.
Yeah you're probably right. I don't want it to get delayed but I find their silence a little concerning.
I wouldn't be concerned yet. A Spring/Summer showcase was always going to be the time to expect the next update.
True, there's still plenty of time to show off the game before the end of the year.
I wouldn't get concerned about the development of the game just yet. They are probably more concerned about the level of expectation going into this game vs the "reboot" in 2018. God of War wasn't in the best of places after the release of Ascension in 2013.
Yup the level of hype going into this one is way higher and so is the pressure on the devs.
My body will be ready when Santa Monica is ready to deliver this expected masterpiece!
Maybe late 2022 or early 2023 if it's in the low end but still pretty eggcited for this
