Cory Barlog insists the God of War Ragnarök release date is still on track for 2022
Sony Santa Monica Studio creative director Cory Barlog has said the God of War Ragnarök release date hasn’t been delayed again, which would mean the game’s still on track to arrive in 2022.
The PlayStation sequel has been the subject of intense speculation over recent weeks, with a number of reports and claims about the status of the game resulting in fans expecting an imminent update on the project.
Earlier this month Gamereactor claimed to have heard from European sources that God of War Ragnarök was being delayed to 2023, although Bloomberg subsequently claimed this was not the case.
Citing three people said to be familiar with the game’s development, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said God of War Ragnarök was scheduled to arrive in November and that Sony was expected to announce the game’s release date this month.

Echoing similar comments he made in April, Barlog added: “I promise things will be shared at the earliest possible moment they can be.”
He also said that were it up to him, he’d share all the information about the game when he found out about it, “but it is not up to me”.

To which Barlog responded: “because its not.”
Another Twitter user, Randy MacReady, followed up: “then where the Hell is it?
