Read details on the game below:
Kratos and Atreus embark on a mythic journey for answers and allies before Ragnarok arrives.
From Santa Monica Studio comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018). Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as they prepare for the prophesied battle that will end the world.
Together, Kratos and Atreus venture deep into the Nine Realms in search of answers as Asgardian forces prepare for war. Along the way they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, gather allies from across the realms and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters.
As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus find themselves choosing between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms…
Those Who Break Fate
Atreus seeks knowledge to help him understand the prophecy of “Loki” and what role he is to play in Ragnarök. Kratos must decide whether he will be chained by the fear of repeating his mistakes or break free of his past to be the father Atreus needs.
Weapons of War
The Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos and Guardian Shield return alongside a host of new abilities for both Kratos and Atreus. As they take on gods and monsters from across the Nine Realms, Kratos’ deadly Spartan skills will be tested like never before as he fights to protect his family.
Explore the Realms
Journey to dangerous and stunning landscapes while facing a wide variety of enemy creatures, monsters and Norse gods as Kratos and Atreus search for answers and allies.

Great news. This confirms no more delays. Regarding the support studios this is what I found.
PSS Creative Arts - internal support studio, seem to be increasing in size by a lot
Bluepoint - already owned by Sony, was mostly remake studio, but have started working on a new game
Valkyrie Entretainment - already owned by Sony have been only support and co-dev so far
Redhot - independent only support for art and concept so far (worked on several PS games)
Supper Alloy - Independent only support for motion capture and the like (worked on several PS games)
Jetpack Interactive - Independent provided support and ported previous GoW to PC
Supergenius - Independent support dev that also work on VR (GoW VR would be cool)
Original Force - Massive support company (on their list of customer MS, EA, tencent and NetEase are called but not Sony)
Why would people downvote this post?
Some people downvote other people because they don't like said person. Obviously people should up/downvote based on the content of the post. However that is not how reality works.

This is probably the game that will take my PS4 Pro into retirement. Looking forward to it!
Bring back the real god of war, dad of boy sux @$$
I liked the original trilogy more, but would never say it is that bad.
Gold baybeh no more delays!
A great Christmas gift!
Will anyone else be playing this back to back after God of war, as one whole game?
I think I saw this with Mario Rabbis as well. What does going Gold mean?
That they are done and the cds can be printed. Version 1.0. But I bet they already work on patches.
Pretty much the only game I’ve been longing for this year. Can’t wait! Eek!
this game should make ps5 sales increase a lot
Only if Sony has the hardware to sell it. Either way, this game will push whatever hardware they have available.
They are sold out so far, so we won't be able to measure the impact on sales.
You mean ps4 sales. Since people can't get a hold of ps5, I expect ps4's to double.
They aren`t manufacturing PS4 as well =
One year to wait baby and you will be mine! :-) .
