God of War director asks fans to be patient for Ragnarök news: ‘Something cool is coming’
Sony Santa Monica Studio’s Cory Barlog has asked fans to remain patient for news on the upcoming sequel God of War Ragnarök.
Barlog directed 2007’s God of War 2 and the acclaimed 2018 series reboot God of War, which celebrates the fourth anniversary of its release today.
And in a video published on Wednesday, he addressed a lack of updates on the game’s upcoming follow-up, Ragnarök.
“Speaking of God of War Ragnarök, the elephant in the room… We haven’t said a lot about this – that’s because everybody is heads down, hard at work,” he said.
“We are perfectionists. Everyone’s tightening up the graphics on level three, there is so much going on right now that I just wish that we could share it with you, but it’s just not ready to be shown.
“But I guarantee you, the moment, the very second that we have something that we’re ready to share, we’re going to share it, because we don’t want to hold any of this back.
“So, please hold tight, know that something cool is coming, and that we, everybody here at Santa Monica, is so incredibly thankful for all the support you’ve given us.”
