It can still be announced for March. They did the same thing with the last mainline GoW.

Gameinformer: God Of War's Developers On Finally Finishing The Game
- Thread starter kowalski
- Start date
Yeah, I mean the cover and issue were revealed January 4th and their videos show the SSM offices decorated for Christmas so they were there and doing these interviews last month.
Pretty much the only two things that matter about this game now, after years of hype and cinematic trailers at conferences, is a date and actual gameplay footage. Two things they absolutely refuse to give us.
They deserve to be pestered by these questions until they give us one.
Did you skip e3?
Please post this in like every Sony thread
The fact that we are getting this Game Informer blowout is a pretty solid sign that the marketing cycle has begun. Like, GI is basically a Gamestop advertisement, and the latest issue has GoW on the cover to every subscriber and in every Gamestop in the country, and yet people are asking "When are they going to start marketing it?".
All I remember at e3 was another trailer of cutscenes with a couple quick snippets of combat. That's not good enough after all this time.
It's just weird to not see very much of a game that's supposedly so close and changes so much of an established series.
The week of January 29th we'll likely get a tease if it happens!
Can you imagine if next week we get both God of War and RDR2 release dates along with Super Bowl spots featuring PlayStation branding.
This is where I'm at. Don't feed me lies and just announce a date so you can get the pre orders. Let me know when it's done
This looks great. I absolutely love to see BTS videos for games that I'm interested in. I always wonder why more companies don't do this. I hope God of War has something like what they did with TLOU.
Don't blame the fans. Blame Sony for saying "Early 2018." Sony themselves put the pressure on SSM, not the fans.
People need something to bitch about, it's really annoying honestly. No one wants to talk about the game itself, but instead the lack of a release date.
Now-show more!!!
Later-wtf why would you show every last boss and god in the game smh
Sometimes I need to take a step back from this community lol
I mean he is right, they have not shown much at all of the game i would like to see a bit more.
Well, they're getting some exposure for the fact that a God of War game will release, but I think some people mean "when will Sony show the video game so people can figure out what the game is and want to buy it."
Because as of now the known information about GOW is:
-Combat will be different in some various ways but there aren't many details.
-Kratos has a son
-Kratos is a kind of viking now.
-There may be crafting and leveling and exploration and puzzles similar to Tomb Raider reboot but none of these have been shown in any capacity.
lol Every time. God of War 3 was especially bad because they spoilt the big opening fight with Poseidon and his death as well as Cronos. That and I remember the Keighley special and them talking about the ending when we were still a month out or something...
Personally I've seen what I need to see to sell me on it. I don't want them to reveal too much and I love that they haven't. But I expect one more trailer before the games released.
If the game is coming late March, they have 2 months to show that. There is still more than enough time.
Exactly. I'm happy with what they've shown (low tier fodder), although the serpent thing seems like a bit of spoiler. I don't want the huge epic set pieces shown off at all.
I'm hyped .... not knowing the release date doesn't bug me, I'm sure they will share it soon enough.
I think 2.
1 for the release date announcement.
1 for the release.
See and story content wise that trailer was good enough: seeing more of the mythology, Midgard and then some think recognisable from said lore like the world serpent was great. I like how we haven't even seen or been really teased about the other gods and figures like Odin, Thor, Loki, Fenrir etc aside from the podcasts or say Atreus toys.
That said I totally get the concerns of others feeling more needs to be shown. I'd like to see more gameplay and another small slice like the E3 reveal with Kratos and Atreus exploring, getting into combat, traversal with the boat and then ending it with a stinger.
Because they agreed not to ask those questions? Like.. cmon guys. Its not that rocket science kind of difficult to find out SSM just didnt want to be asked these questions.... because they wouldnt answer them at that time.
Yeah, he's funny -- probably one of the funnier game devs I've known of. It's kind of odd that he is the guy behind such an angry, rageful game series.
Take your time, guys. Release when ready.
Really interesting to hear that basically all the sections of the game were being worked on at the same time and completed around the same time as well, rather than a first act, second act, finale type situation being worked on one at a time. Could lead to a far more consistent game throughout rather than certain sections of the game feeling worse than others because those were the ones they were working on when they were trying to meet deadlines.
Also, my prediction. We're getting a release date on January 26th.
If no, then there's gonna be a superbowl commercial with the release date announced around the same time (maybe even part of an extended version of the trailer).

Ehh, release date's not a big deal for me. I'm confident it'll release in March or soon after. I'm not in a hurry.
That said, insightful interview as usual. I always like hearing about the development process and what it's like working on projects like these.

Why does it matter when the release date is revealed? We know it's going to be relatively soon, why do so many people get upset about this shit?
For me it is more about talking and not showing. They are mostly saying same things over and over again and only real gameplay we saw was year and a half ago.
I think SSM are definitely getting close to announcing the release date. All the leaks, the CE being revealed, and the GI coverage all month tells me they are getting close. I am glad they are open to talking about the game with game informer although they haven't revealed any new info but its good to learn about all the behind the scenes stuff that going on during development. I am sure we will get a new trailer and hopefully another demo similar to the E3 one. The release date isn't a major deal for me, I was mainly waiting to see what the CE edition was going to include because thats what I was getting anyway.
I think it's funny, and pretty remarkable actually, that the CE contents leaked nearly a year ago were accurate.
Yea its crazy but some leaks do turn out to be accurate. If I remember correctly, In December 2014 Cory confirmed a new GOW was in early development. Then in 2016, months before the E3 reveal there was a huge concept art leak showing a bearded Kratos holding an axe, a boat like we saw in the trailer, and many other enviroment concepts giving us a good insight of the game.
