Taking cues from other games in the genre and Sony’s own lineup, this upcoming relaunch of the franchise is set to redefine what storytelling means in the confinements of the franchise. The franchise has never reached certain depths, but Santa Monica has taken the opportunity to let the franchise evolve, as the industry has done as a whole as well. As you could read in the article I wrote on the game last year, God of War is looking to be quite the ambitious reimagining of the franchise that it probably sorely needed. It’s no secret that I’ve been extremely excited about this title ever since it’s announcement last year. Whether Bear MccReary and his orchestra will return remains a mystery… Unless something major happens we’re pretty much guaranteed to see the game return to Sony’s E3 conference next week.
The game has been said to have been in development since 2014, so if all of that information is anything to go by, Sony might be looking at a strong contender for their summer line-up next year, filling in the slot that Uncharted held in 2016.
#E3 COUNTDOWNS WINDOWS#
The God of War franchise in general has mostly seen releases in the first quarter of the year in March, though, as we’ve seen with Uncharted 4, Sony isn’t afraid of moving release windows for existing franchises this generation.ĭirector Cory Barlog stated last December that the game was essentially playable from start to finish, though there is obviously a lot (and I mean, a lot) of work to do even after you reach that milestone in development. It’s a tough question, though in my opinion Autumn/Winter 2018 seems to be the most likely release window. Accompanied by an entire orchestra playing the game’s new theme, Santa Monica headlined Sony’s E3 2016 conference in June with pretty much one of the best-executed reveals in recent history, already building up a huge amount of hype for what could be one of Sony’s biggest titles this generation. God of War’s announcement is pretty much one that’s almost impossible to have been missed. How many gods are there left to kill? We’ve crossed Greek mythology off our list, so why not move on to the Norse arsenal of godlike beings? Marking the series’ first true current-gen installment, it’s time for the God of War franchise to make its return!
