The untitled sequel to 2018’s God of War, which was called God of War 2 or God of War: Ragnarok, has been postponed until 2022, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio announced. Additionally, the game will launch on both PS4 and PS5, despite previously appearing to be a PS5 exclusive.
Like many other game delays, this one appears to have been motivated partly by COVID-19 supply problems and partly by a desire to get the game right. PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst said this in an interview on the PlayStation Blog in which he revealed that Santa Monica Studio had very limited access to special technologies, including motion capture technology that helps bring these to life. games.
As for the God of War sequel, Hulst was very frank about the delay but also about the studio’s desire to make a quality product. “And for God of War, the project started a little later,” he said. “So we decided to carry that game over to next year, to make sure Santa Monica Studio can deliver the amazing God of War game we all want to play.”
The same study echoed this sentiment on Twitter:
At this point, major headline delays may not come as a surprise. However, many fans were shocked by Hulst’s confirmation that the God of War sequel will arrive on PS4 and PS5.
“Where it makes sense to develop a title for both PS4 and PS5 – for Horizon Forbidden West, the next God of War, GT7 – we will continue to watch it,” he said. “And if PS4 owners want to play that game, then they can. If they want to continue playing the PS5 version, that game will be there for them. “
Previously, the next God of War game appeared to be a PS5 exclusive. And while some PS5 players may be bothered by the loss of an exclusive title, those who haven’t yet switched to PS4 should be very happy with this news.
