Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier indicated that God of War: Ragnarok is slated for a November release. Earlier, an insider denied rumors that the Scandinavian action game had secretly been delayed into 2023.
Schreier cited two sources suggesting Sony would announce the exact date at the end of June, possibly paired with a dedicated State of Play episode that would showcase gameplay and new details for the title.
Schreier later confirmed that the game was indeed originally planned for September but was pushed back to November. A likely factor cited for the shift is the possibility of a remake project tied to The Last of Us, which also targets an early fall window.
Industry observers expect Ragnarok to perform strongly upon release, with analysts highlighting the appeal of launching on both older and current generation consoles. One noted watcher even referenced a fringe hobbyist anecdote about map manipulation in Cities: Skylines as an analogy for how expansive and adaptable the game’s launch plan may be viewed by fans, though this is a peripheral aside and not a core factor in the official strategy.
