I'm confident enough that it will be delayed to 2023. Release date around March. If not, then it is highly likely to be released around holidays season.

I mean its the same exact engine and character. But how far have they went with the world map, how much dialogue is finished, how many boss fights completed etc. They could still be missing half the story

I'm not betting either way. I don't care if it releases this year or not. I'm just asking... what if you're wrong again?? THEN EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IS A LIE!!!

So i can keep the avatar if i lose great thanksThat avatar's already good to add to the pool
Nah, while Horizon is a good candidate, it doesn't have a chance the year GoW is released.

Likely, I mean objectively when would be a good time in the remaining calendar year to release the game?
Bear in mind the game has a large built-in audience, due to the history of the franchise, so why would Sony want to put it out in the holiday season when the extended audience is distracted by the usual annual 3rd party behemoths?
I can see them holding off until PS5 hardware supply improves in 2023.

I think sticking a wrong over the top of this and it would be perfect if we lose the bet.

Just because MS delayed a couple of games doesn't mean Sony would react delaying one of theirs. I think it won't be delayed. Why?
1) According to what a dev of the game said 2 or 3 weeks ago, will be released in 2022:
2) It may be a placeholder (specially when it's a day where a quarter ends, may mean they plan to release it around that quarter), but according to the PlayStation database would be released September 30th, 2022:
3) It was originally planned for 2021 and was delayed to 2022. Sony since then mentioned it as 2022 multiple times.
For the avatar I suggest a GoW themed #FreeBryank75 avatar with Bryank as Kratos. I can draw it.

Not only will God of War Ragnarok not get delayed, but I'm willing to bet they will push the release date up to 2021.
Disclaimer: I'm not serious and I take no bets because I don't think Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony are tryna go head to head with a 97 metacritic multiplat underdog Elden Ring for GOTY. So yes, I too believe Ragnarok will probably be delayed and we will get BOTW2 vs GoW Ragnarok vs Starfield for 2023 goty.

Yea same. I always vote before I read the OP. Shame on me. Ah well, I went with the default "P" avatar for years after the GAF upgrade, so I guess I can deal.
Ah shit what hve I got myself into. Should hve read OP lol
My question for OP though - what if a release date gets announced for 2022, we all change our avatars, but then they delay it before it hits that date. I feel OP should have some penalty if that happens for not thinking of all the possibilities.

God of war's original tentative release was 2021, but there was never a hard date, just the year 2021. Which usually you do when things are in flux and you can't give a date because there's lot of things not ready. They never have officially given a date for that game.
And they actually showed a good Mixture of gameplay so people have an idea of what they are getting.

I usually never participate in these, and my gut says 2022, but... I want to select 2023 (to lose, muhaha) so I can see what clever shit people come up for an avatar.
Decisions, decisions.
Edit: Voted 2022, so blame me for jinxing it if there's a 2023 delay.

Totally thought of that possible scenario. And since we're almost in the second half of 2022 already, being announced by 2022 and delayed by later 2022, wouldn't mean much, just a couple months. That's why the bet is basically 2022 to 2023.

I am prepared to vote vs @kyliethicc if he is prepared to change his Avatar to "I love Man Utd" .
The same goes against @Bo_Hazem to a Liverpool one.
Lastly for @EviLore with a "Free Byrank" one.
God of war will not be delayed.

I don't get this bet either.
The game was supposed to release in 2021 so it was already delayed plenty of time, and they already showed a gameplay trailer + vertical slice of the game 8 months ago.
And to be honest, it looks like it's using pretty much the same engine as GoW 2018 with better assets and more content. I see no technological revamp here that would require more time in the oven.
Besides, we know why the game was delayed and it wasn't for technical reasons:

What I mean is this:
- Avatars must be used at least from release date announcement until game release
But what happens if in the same scenario, we've been using the changed avatars for 4 months, and in September they announce that the game is just not ready yet (cyberpunking it, if you will), and the game THEN gets pushed to 2023.
In such a case, both sides lose.

Or both sides win, depending on how you see it.

Honestly it all depends. With Chris getting hurt back in 2019. I think it's what initially set them back in early 2021. A lot of the stuff we saw in trailer from last year was early mo-cap footage they did after 2018 God of war. So we wont know until after June to be honest.
It could go either way honestly. But Sony has enough partnered games and a couple un-announced releases for later this year.

Under the Op there is an option WATCH pick that.
Edit: over the OP... Under the vote.

Loads of parts of the game looked complete when we saw the gameplay trailer.
But now they have an excuse to delay it if it needed it

True, it was technically a tentative release widow, but many still saw it as a delay regardless.
Them showing off a good chunk of gameplay is more indicative that they are likely to launch this year rather than delay, especially with little to no competition to contend with in the next half of the year.
Had there been recent production woes, I think Corey would've said as much rather than reassuring they're still on track for 2022. Although anything is possible I suppose.

you get to pick my avatar.Honestly, now that Starfield is out of 2022, it isn't unlikely that GoW becomes March 2023

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

but I don't want it to be delayed out of 2022 ..
That would be a power-dick move.

I am trying really hard to finish it on PC...but u can def the limitations, the bad level design, for some reason on PC u can see all the flaws lol. I am half way through and I am really wondering why so much praise but hey man, i also hate RDR2 which apparently is a milestone in gaming achievement.
