That’s when I’m expecting it to release too.

I keep saying we haven't gotten a date because they have doubts if it can release on their Q2 (July / September) or Q3 (October / December). I'd bet the game is internally aiming for a September or October release at most...with TLOU remake in November (now i'm making stuff up). Forspoken somewhere as well. And they still have the marketing rights for Hogwarts which is releasing this year for now, lmao

Another Sony Santa Monica employee talking about "finishing Ragnarok". This one is already thinking of its launch party that GAF thinks it's happening in 2023.
Yeah, SSM workers always sound confident with a 2022 release, no reasons for concern at all. Absolutely nothing pointed to a 2023 release.
No, they have Forspoken in October, and I assume another big 3rd party for November (Final Fantasy XVI? Howgarts Legacy?). I bet GoW will be released on September.

I have very good reason to believe October. It won't be earlier

Keep that gif for when it is/isn't delayed....It just need x/y teams hopes written before the explosion.
*not a reference to God of Wars future, I just find it funny*

What's coming in October? Most likely God of War will be bigger than most releases...

People argue that since forspoken also releases in october Sony would wait a bit to avoid releasing 2 exclusives too close.

We got TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima 3 weeks from each other. Same for Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7.
Sony won't care for Forspoken if Ragnarok is ready

Yea, rumor is Square is thinking about moving Forspoken again but instead replacing it with FF16?

knew it was a lock for 2022. im not sure where the doubt was coming from? i mean it was supposed to be a 2021 release. there was no chance of it being delayed another year again.

Confirmed: Forspoken, Gotham Knights
Probably Hogwarts Legacy as well
And maybe other games without a release date

This much is really true.

I remember some said they might delay it due to Starfield or BOTW2. But even if those games came out this I never thought it was a good reason to delay the game. They will release it when it’s ready and according to the last tweet they are in the final stage of development.

I think so, it will be the second biggest game this holiday behind cod
Borowski_1
Member
Yeah, they know
That leads me to believe that it's coming this year
They know people will be pissed if it doesn't come this year after all this teasing.
On the other end, it's almost June. That leaves more or less 3-4 months (because i don’t believe on a November-December date) before release
So, i really don't know what they’re waiting for here...

They are waiting for the PS Showcase ofc

They are waiting for the next SOP or similar PlayStation event. Doubt it’s something they will drop in a random blog post but I could be wrong.

When do you think they'll do it?

Over the next couple of months. So June or July is my guess.
I’m no insider though so I don’t have the actual date.

It would be retarded to delay the game to release it closer to Starfield and BotW2. It's the opposite, the less competition the better.
I think Sony could have a multi game event in June where there would be a small GoW trailer announcing a September release (they have Forspoken for October).
And then in August, very likelly at EVO, to showcase a long gameplay focusing on the combat to showcase some nice combos. The new director was the combat director in the previous GoW games, so I assume the new game will shine in combat.

I mean delaying the game even though it’s ready is pretty dumb. Even if Starfield and BOTW weren’t delayed. It’s always a nice idea to have a strong title release during the holidays.

Is today the day?

They will release it when ready, for sure. Regarding the Q4 Sony always gives it to the 3rd parties unless they are releasing a console there.
Sony prefers to release their own big games in the rest of the year, if possible in spots where they don't have a lot of big 3rd party releases.
I assume their idea is to have a great lineup during the whole year instead of focusing the big games of the year in a short period of time.
I think their plan is September GoW, October Forspoken, November FFXVI.

Not really. I had no intention of posting a comment here, so I am a bit perplexed. Genuine mistake, sorry!
