The nextGod of Wargame is still officially scheduled for a2021 release according to Sony. However, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier might have just let out a hint about a possible delay.
TheGod of Warcommunity in general has had doubts about the game arriving in 2021, for months now. Part of the rationale behind these beliefs is that Sony hasn’t done a lot of talking about where the title is in the development cycle. On the other hand, the company hasn’t announced any official delay. When a follower of Schreier on Twitter asked for some reassurance thatGod of Waris still coming this year, he scoffed.

Schreier responded with a simple “Lol” to the question as to whetherGod of Waris still coming in 2021. The question arose because theBloomberg Newsjournalist posted earlier in the year that several games that were slated for a 2021 release were going to be delayed. The first of that group wasHogwart’s Legacywhich the developers announced back in January would not be ready to hit the market until 2022.
The post talking about “numerous” games being delayed was revived by Schreier whenGotham Knightsdevs announcedthat game, too was pushed back to next year. It was this thread that the writer’s follower looked for confirmation thatGod of War Ragnarokstill indeed had a planned release for later this year.
Several of Schreier’s followers took his response as confirmation that the next installment in the rebootedGod of Warfranchise was indeed delayed. Several others claimed they knew that was going to be the eventual decision. Those followers tend to look to theBloombergwriter because he’s gotten a reputation in the gaming industry as someone who has “insider” connections that have allowed him to break very big stories about several major games and the companies behind them.
For its part, Sony has not confirmed there is any sort of delay just yet forGod of War Ragnarok. On the other hand, the company hasn’t given a whole lot of updates on the state of the title since 2021 began. For now, those hoping to get an update and confirmation that the next installment in the franchise are going to have to wait and hope that Schreier was offering his opinion, rather than some inside knowledge on the situation surrounding the game.
God of War Ragnarokis currently in development for PS4 PS5.
