According to his sources, the news was pulled at the last minute and could go live at any time when given the green light. The blog post would have consisted of the release date itself, confirmation that a proper gameplay showcase would be shared at a later date, and details on the God of War Ragnarok Collector’s Editions. Fans will be able to purchase the Jotnar Edition, which includes a 1:1 replica of Thor’s Mjolnir hammer alongside a copy of the game, and the Collector’s Edition, which would also add other collectible items such as a world map, other badges, et cetera. Regarding the God of War Ragnarok release date, Henderson believes it could happen on November 11th, as Sony tends to launch on Fridays, and November 4th already has EA’s new Need for Speed game while November 18th is apparently the rumored launch date of Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game. This would be a significant date as it was originally occupied by Bethesda’s Starfield, a tentpole game in Microsoft’s lineup before it got delayed to the first half of 2023. [ORIGINAL STORY] Over the past few days, several credible leakers had revealed that Sony would announce the launch date of God of War Ragnarok today, on June 30th. The first to share the news was Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who also said the release date of God of War Ragnarok, originally planned for September, had been moved to November. Then, Twitter insider The Snitch also cryptically teased an announcement happening on June 30th. Leaker Tom Henderson jumped on the bandwagon just yesterday as well. However, it looks like now everybody is adamant the announcement has been pushed back. Kotaku learned as much by speaking directly with The Snitch via Twitter DM. Then Schreier also chimed in, pointing out that there seems to be no delay to the actual game itself.

— Tom Henderson (@Tom_Henderson) June 30, 2022 As a reminder, God of War Ragnarok will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Together, Kratos and Atreus venture deep into the Nine Realms in search of answers as Asgardian forces prepare for war. Along the way they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, gather allies from across the realms and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus find themselves choosing between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms…
