Good job the first ones going to be free on PS5 I guess, so many of those free games I still haven't even played so happy with that.

The worst teaser. Show me Kratos!!

[Foggy]

I think everyone sees straight through that 2021 date.

Bet it will be on PS4 as well at this rate.

The best teaser. It did it's job. And didn't show any spoilers.

lol Cory Barlog even said it took them a while to figure out the new engine for God of War, but once they did, a sequel would theoretically take a lot less time to make. Happy to see it's supposedly coming in 2021!! Also makes sense since they probably want to prevent Atreus from aging too quickly for their story lol.

On the PS Blog they said Spider-Man Miles Morales, Sackboy, and Horizon Forbidden West will have PS4 versions, so would be interesting to see if this gets one too.

This. I don't need to see anything for nips to be hard. Just knowing it's coming is all I need.

[Grim Reaper]

Day 1 for sure.

2021 is gonna be a hella va year for Sony if they get this out along with,

Ratchet & Horizon.

You realise that us getting this in 2021 is the equivalent of Uncharted 4 dropping in 2014, a year after the PS4 came out? GoW 2018 is arguably my favourite game of the past generation on the PS4, so my level of expectation of Ragnarok may not actually be measurable via scientific means!

They could deliver the same shit only prettier and it would still be a homerun, but we know Barlog has more ambition than that. So let those expectations soar.

I'm at least expecting Ragnarok to be able to stand alongside GoW 2018 on all aspects, from (most importantly) it's storytelling and emotional involvement to the visuals. Barlog should have zero concerns that Sony Santa Monica will deliver anything less than steller graphics for this game, and the combat system they have at the moment is perfect. There is absolutely nothing about the original game i can possibly critique, it really is that good.

PS4 Version to upgrade to PS5 for free please. Thanks Sony

Jokes aside. I want them to be up front from now on the liars about whether this is a cross gen game. Look at how long they've known that Miles Morales and Horizon II were coming to PS4 and kept schtum.

[XavierTheaterPotato]

Honesty is what helps Sony, MS have been doing it perfectly fine in Recent years.

I'm quite curious if this will come to PS4, since support for the previous console still go after awhile, despite being labeled as a PlayStation 5 exclusive title. Would get it on PS5 anyhow.

Super stoked for this. God of War is still my game of the generation so far, and will probably finish there unless something like Cyberpunk really blows me away.

Yeah a big LOL on this actually coming out in 2021. A year away and zero footage? Not even a tiny cinematic? Delayed 100% sure

I'm not quite that pessimistic. I'm definitely not optimistic that it makes it out in 2021. But I don't think only showing a teaser has any bearing on it. They already have Miles Morales and Horizon 2 as their splashy launch and launch window games to show of the power of PS5. I can see them sitting on GoW2 footage for their big E3 2021 game (assuming that's a thing--whatever big summer event they have otherwise).

I will be 3 years in April since the last one launched and reports were they got to work on the sequel pretty soon after that was done. So late 2021 would be a feasible release date I'd think. The sequel will need a lot less development time than the reboot since they have the combat engine etc. done.

So I'd guess it's either the big holiday 2021 title, or the big Q1 2022 game. And honestly, I'd expect PS5 sales and availability to be the driver there. If PS5's are flying off shelves still and are hard to find next Oct/November, might as well delay it to release in 2022 when sales may need a boost.
