God of War Ragnarok Leaks Are “Just So Disappointing,” Says Cory Barlog

Calling God of War Ragnarok one of the most highly anticipated games of the year would be a massive understatement, but it seems the road to launch hasn’t been exactly what developer Santa Monic Studio would have been hoping for. Over a week ahead of its release, the game has seen physical copies being shipped out early by some retailers, which means major spoilers and leaks for the game are popping up all over the internet.

As you may have guessed, God of War Ragnarok’s developers are understandable unhappy with the situation. Cory Barlog, director of God of War (2018) and creative director at Santa Monica Studio, recently took to Twitter to express his frustrating, saying the situation was “just so disappointing.” After apologizing to fans who’ll be dodging those aforementioned spoilers between now and the game’s launch, Barlog added, “This is not at all how any of us at Santa Monica Studio wanted things to go.”

God of War Ragnarok is due out on November 9 for PS5 and PS4. Reviews for the game will go live on November 3, so stay tuned for our final verdict on the game.

sorry to everyone that you have to dodge the spoilers if you want to play the game fresh. completely fucking stupid you have to do this.

this is not at all how any of us at SMS wanted things to go.

💙
