It's weird. Devs saying it comes out this year, the rating, etc, but it's june and the game is still MIA.

where are they gonna show it? A SoP for this one doesn't work because of spoilers. so, a random trailer?

You do know the game has to be in a playable state to get a rating right?

Also sometimes it seems you don’t even want the game to come out.

So stop acting like the worst is already confirmed. It’s almost like you want the game to be cancelled so you can gloat about it.

Just wait until they give us an update. They will give us a date at some point and after that the game will release.

i'm just upset we dont have a release date, that's it

So why keep acting like they are trying to hide something?

Are you actually confident in them delivering a solid product?

Have you ever wondered how much you complain about every little thing that may not even actually affect you?

 

[Hobbygaming]

And yet he said a week ago that he is 98% sure it was getting delayed lmao

To be fair, him saying it will be delayed was an assumption based on SSM being quiet

Him saying someone from Sony told him it's coming in 2022 is different

As for a release date there’s such thing as giving one out too early. They could be trying to avoid some backlash if the game is half a year away. If they give us a date and it’s only a few months out there will be less doubt on the actual release.

 

[Swift_Star]

Yes I’m not discarding a delay but I don’t expect it to happen. If it does I’m sure it will still come soon. Definitely not expecting the game to be delayed another year.

The only people saying it’s going to be delayed are those hoping for it and you know exactly why they’re doing it.

There’s no evidence of it beyond wishful thinking.

It’s the best approach these days since a delay seems to souring people’s hype.

Instructions unclear. I touched ass and ate grass.

Basically it can happen but there’s no evidence of it. People just need to chill and wait for an announcement.

I know there’s some salt due to Ststfields delay. I agree that it sucks it was pushed out this year. However Ragnarok coming out this year means we all can play something great before the year is up. Nobody should want this game to get delayed as well.

If we’re getting an early June show:

The last two showcases were each held on a Thursday. Meaning next week June 2 or June 9.

Both previous showcases were announced one week out and at the end of the week. 2020 on a Friday and 2021 on a Thursday.

June 9 is the SGF kick-off, which means it probably won’t be that date.

Either we get an announcement tomorrow for next week or it’s going to fall later in June, if in June at all.

Not quite a Showcase but close enough…

Mead tastes like shit IMO, it’s way too sweet.

Mölska is where it’s at!

Sorry I may be having a stroke by reading your comment. Isn't Mölska a mead also?

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Yeah but he openly said that was just his guess. He never claimed it was based on anything other than his gut.

He now says “someone who would know” told him it’s def coming this year.

I get that but also the guys "gut feeling" is probablg also things he hears going on at the studio, HOWEVER I hope he is wrong and it comes out this year

 

[kyliethicc]

Nah he said it wasn’t based on anything other than public info.

He now says it’s 100% coming in 2022 because someone who knows (from SMS/SIE) told him.

Ask him yourself, if Ragnarok ships this year davidjaffe

Sony bought EVO, a tournament followed by hundreds of thousands of players who like action games with combos.

The EVO finals are in August 7 and typically there are many fighting game annoucements or reveals there. Pretty likely this year we'll see there things like the Street Fighter 6 gameplay reveal and possibly release date, Tekken 8 or Mortal Kombat 12 announcement. I assume ARC System Works may have some annoucements there even if it's something smaller like new DLC characters or stuff like that.

Sony could package all these fighting game announcements on a State of Play that also could feature a meaty gameplay GoW demo showcasing combat and combos and so on (the game director was combat director before, so pretty likely the game will have improved in this area).

Sony owns the guys behind the Melty Blood featured at EVO, but knowing Sony owns EVO and they will continue acquiring devs or who knows if even some publisher. It wouldn't be rare to see them acquiring Bandai Namco, Capcom, Netherrealm or ARC System Works. And the best place to announce it would be there, on a SoP played just at the end of the last EVO finals with a whole stadium screaming with the announcements.

What do you mean it's MIA? Just because we don't have an exact date? It's not like we haven't seen the game.

It’s the sequel to God of War. Nuff said.

The less we learn of the story, the better.

Enjoy the surprises as you play it on launch night.

Nah. It's better to not show half the game. Luckily, the original was so good they don't have to spoil the game to try to sell it. People are hyped enough just knowing it's the sequel to GoW 2018.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I think the silence is what’s make the game even more exciting. People are dying to know what’s going to happen in it.

I was just reading that this game is the final part of the Norse mythology story. I wonder if there's a possibility the one after this will do Egyptian mythology. That would be amazeballs.

I wouldn’t go so far to say the game is in development hell or anything. More like the marketing should have been better if that’s what you mean.

Why because he did some extra ADR work a few months ago

Doing some extra ADR work does not mean it's getting delayed, deep breaths bro, it's coming this year.
