Sony Santa Monica Studio has announced that God of War has hit gold status, meaning development is now complete and ready to enter manufacturing ahead of its release on April 20.
Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, God of War Director Cory Barlog described the development process ‘long and exhausting’ punctuated by ‘laughs, arguments, and a healthy dose of fear – with a side of doubt.’ It’s been a long time coming that’s for sure; the last God of War game was released five years ago on the PlayStation 3.Â
‘This was the scariest, most wonderful thing I have ever done and I can honestly say it would never have been possible without the full-throated support of Sony and the tireless work of the incredible team at Santa Monica Studio,’ he said. ‘We have been through a lot together and I would not change a thing. You are the best damn team a director could ever hope for and I am thankful beyond words for every ounce of passion and pride you put into this game.’
While Barlog and co are breathing a sigh of relief following God of War’s completion, it seems they’re already thinking about the future, admitting the series is likely to stick with the Norse setting for the time being.Â
