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. While we’re not ready to share an update about what comes next, here’s a quick message from Cory! https://t.co/Z5PHpKQppYThe rumors started with a tweet by Cory Barlog of Santa Monica Studio on April 20, 2022. He stated that while there’s nothing they can share at the moment, they'll provide all the information in due time. He wanted to celebrate four years of God of War (2018) and thanked fans for their support.However, everyone wants to know about one thing: God of War Ragnarok.“God of War Ragnarok, the elephant in the room. 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.”Cory Barlog wanted fans to know that they'll be informed regarding God of War Ragnarok whenever an opportunity arises.“There is so much going on right now that I just wish we could share it with you, but it’s just not ready to be shown. But I guarantee you that… the very second that we have something to share, we’re gonna share it with you… So please hold tight.”One commenter asked for confirmation from Bruno Velasquez on this thread, and the developer responded affirmatively.Cipher @Gabriel4434@brunovelazquez Bruno re assure us that it will come this year 100% and don't show me anything at this point 🤞472@brunovelazquez Bruno re assure us that it will come this year 100% and don't show me anything at this point 🤞Bruno Velazquez 🎮🕹@brunovelazquez@Gabriel4434 Ragnorok is coming this year.1147180@Gabriel4434 Ragnorok is coming this year.Despite other games getting delayed, it seems like the Santa Monica team is full speed ahead and working as hard as possible to get God of War Ragnarok out to the fans this year instead of 2023.Fans responded to the announcement on Twitter Reaction to the confirmation of a 2022 release for the next God of War game was hopeful, but mixed.

One reply epitomized fans’ sentiments. They opined that the game itself is its own marketing. A trailer could drop a few weeks before launch and fans will be ready to go and pick it up.Frank Arnum@FrankArnum@brunovelazquez @Gabriel4434 Is it though? Where is the marketing for the game? haha, I'm hoping it really does come this year fingers crossed.5@brunovelazquez @Gabriel4434 Is it though?
