God of War Ragnarök Finally Delayed To 2023, Rumors Claim

Rumors are spreading that God of War Ragnarök will be delayed for a 2023 release instead of a planned launch for this year. This comes after recent speculations of a possible announcement at Summer Game Fest have risen from a change to God of War Ragnarok's Playstation store page. For many, these rumors may be unexpected considering that all signs of God of War Ragnarok's development have been positive, with many fans estimating the game's eventual release date for fall 2022.

Sony made big waves in September 2020 when God of War Ragnarok was first announced during the Playstation 5 showcase with a vague release window for 2021. Since then, it has become one of the most anticipated games, winning an award at the Golden Joystick Awards 2020 for the Most Wanted Game. But in June of 2021, developer Santa Monica Studio announced that God of War Ragnarok was officially delayed for a 2022 release as Christopher Judge, who voices Kratos, was recovering from surgery. Even though rumors began to spread of a possible release in September, no official release date was given.

An announcement is expected during the live event, although neither Sony nor Santa Monica Studios have publicly addressed these rumors and a specific release date has not been established. It's also important to note that God of War Ragnarok was absent from the lineup of trailers shown at Sony's recent State of Play event, which included new trailers for Final Fantasy 16 and the Horizon series.
