Here's a spot of culture for you: it's Father's Day this Sunday in Spain. Who cares, right? (Well, apart from our obviously sizeable audience from España.) Sony's started advertising God of War in Madrid. Spotted on the Metro, the ad shows Kratos and his son Atreus and basically says something along the lines of: "My Dad's better than your's."
It's innocent in of itself, but the timing is interesting, isn't it? God of War is obviously a huge system selling brand much like Uncharted and Gran Turismo, but you don't often see commercials for either of those appearing months (or potentially years) prior to the release of a new game unless there's a delay. So, could the reboot be closer than we anticipate?
The important thing to remember is that Sony's stopped attaching dates to games to avoid the drama that surrounds delays, so we don't actually have a clue when any of its big first-party titles are planned to release right now. Personally, we still reckon God of War's at least a year away, but this is interesting, isn't it?

I feel like I really should have played a GoW game so I'll try playing through them while I wait on this to release. I think I might have 3 but I'll get the first 2.
@nessisonett They're great. Pretty short as well so you should be able to blast through them.
Make 2017 great ...... again!
@nessisonett
If you got a PS3 then I think they might have the complete series in a collection if I'm not mistaken.
Feliz dia del Padre is Day of the Father 16th of June. I don't think it is random, maybe a gameplay trailer or even release day?
@nessisonett They're fantastic I started playing GOW3 remastered and saved. Decided to play Lost Odyssey on XB1 was free thank you Push Square for the heads up. Long ass RPG lol!
Hmm i still doubt that the game will be out this year but it should be out within the first half of next year I reckon.
Surely Sony cant deliver any more goodies this year.....can they? They have a lot riding on the next year, what with the launch of Scorpio. Where PlayStation will always remain strong is the quality software exclusives, and I wouldnt be surprised to see them roll out one or two big hitters in the second half of 2017 to remind people that ps4 remains the best place to play.
I think the most interesting thing is the 18 on the bottom left corner. I'm assuming this is the game rating. How can a game be rated that doesn't yet exist? Unless it does. hmm
In the US it would be "RP", rating pending, don't know about the rest of the world.
I'd actually put money on this being out before the end of the year. And I chose a month I'd say early December. I think all will be revealed at E3!
Nintendo has Super Mario Odyssey for its red hot new system at the end of the year, MS will have new hardware and no doubt some games to display it. It's simply unacceptable if Sony tries to get by this year without a really big holiday release. It needs to be God of War.
@Melucine El dia del padre is march 19th in the Iberian Peninsula
God of war my favorite PlayStation franchises ever.my second overall franchises next to grand theft auto.kratos come out and playyy
@Athrum then most probably a new trailer
@Melucine Father's Day is on March 19th in Spain
I think the changes they are making to the franchise will upset some but I'm all for it. I had got pretty burnt out on the series but that trailer at E3 made me sit up and take notice.
@Gamer83 But Knack 2 is coming out around that time, we're covered
I really hope we see some gameplay. The 1st trailor made this look like Uncharted the God of War Edition. That's not a good thing.
Sony should drop GOW on the Scorpio launch date.
@GamerDad66 With ps4 slim and/or ps4 pro limited edition god of war
I wish sony make ps4 god of war collection like uncharted, with all of ps2, ps3, and psp games remastered using ps4 god of war 3 engine.
I think it will release this year. I suspect, nearer the launch of the Scorpio.
So does that mean it's coming closer than what we think.
@Melucine We can always hope, brother
