Cory Balrog gave an update on God of War Ragnarok that currently production is going well but more gameplay footage isn't ready to he shown off yet. Pepole are speculating that it's probalby getting delayed to 2023.

"God of War Ragnarok---the elephant in the room---yeah. We haven't said a lot about this, that's because everybody is heads down and hard at work. We are perfectionists. Everyone is tightening up the graphics on level three. There is so much going on right now that I just wish that I can share it with you, but it's just not ready to be shown. But I guarantee you, the moment, the very second that we have something that we're ready to share, we're going to share it. Because we don't want to hold any of this back. So please hold tight, know that something cool is coming, and that we---everybody here at Santa Monica---are so incredibly thankful for all the support that you've given us.

I thought Cory wasn't involved with producing this one? Or am I mistaken on that?

"Tightening up the Graphics on Level 3" he says, eh?

That message makes me think that it's 2023. Take your time.

Eh, they can take their time. No need to rush it out in 2022, I'd rather the game be solid at launch. I've got plenty still to play anyway.

Yeah I don't think trying to make sense of the tea leaves is gonna be a good use of time. Maybe it'll be 2023, maybe it'll be 2022.

...or they can't say/show anything new until Sony's next showcase, when it would very likely get a release date.

Jumping to "whelp- seems like 2023!" is kinda knee-jerky atm.

Hoping the PS5 version really stands out and gets that star treatment. Also, we're only in April. :)

When they showed the footage before it looked "ready". Wonder if this will actually be delayed to 2023. I don't think it will.

There's enough people in the know saying they think it's locked for this year that I believe it.

But if it's delayed, that's okay too. Take your time SSM.

Not the "tightening the graphics to next level" phrase 😭😭😭 so tired of hearing that in bs meetings with executives

I want it to release this year, if only because of the GOTY conversations. So far, 2022 has been great, but there are still some big games (i.e. Starfield) that have a chance to disrupt things and cause massive online debates.

"Cory Barlog says nothing of note"

There, I fixed your title OP.

I'm really not trying to be mean here, but how did something that's literally prefaced with "while we're not ready to share an update about what comes next..." get turn into "an update about what comes next"?

News will come in due time! With the quality of the last GOW, I don't personally think there's any reason to be worried about radio silence.

I really wish we had a release date lol
I have said this sometimes here, but there's a really high chance it comes out in October, the localization in my country started early this month and localization is always done 5-6 months before release so it lines up with October some people have predicted.

As always Sony could have done something differently this time and take this with a grain of salt but it lines up

Fairly obvious they want to nail down a release date before putting another trailer out so they can go together.

I thought someone else took over as lead on the game. Did I dream that?

Hope SMS take all the time they need to get this right, but I stick by my thought that the game could be ready for this year but Sony themselves are holding back on the game due to PS5 stock issues.

The year really blew the top off to begin the year with little else to show for the rest. Gaming at the moment is very boring, hope it picks up soon.

I'm still on board the 2022 team. If the next PS5 showcase comes and goes without a release date then ill start thinking 2023 is likely.

I guess this means it will take some more time til they share new stuff. Giving an update like this doesn't make much sense if there's like a state of play for next month

I imagine it'll still hit 2022 though considering it was already delayed

Yeah for the first time since launch I don't have much to play at all on my PS5 that interests me.
