God of War director wishes you a happy 4/20 but isn’t ready to show off Ragnarok
GamesBeat Summit 2022 returns with its largest event for leaders in gaming on April 26-28th. Reserve your spot here!
The 2018 version of God of War is now four years old, and that was enough to get series producer Cory Barlog out to talk about the game.
