God of War PS4 PlayStation 4 1

We've learned very little of the upcoming God of War ever since its debut at E3 last year, but a listing for a Collector's Edition of the game on a German retailer's website may just shed some new light on things. Take all of this with a grain of salt of course, but what's listed here could be noteworthy.

The package is listed at a price of €199 with a release date of 15th January, 2018. That's a Monday which makes it a certain placeholder date, but the listing then goes on to describe what comes with this edition. You've got the typical steelbook case, a lithograph print, and a digital soundtrack, but then there's also a statue of Kratos and Atreus fighting in-game enemies called Helmsters, and a cloth of the world map.

What is most interesting, however, is the inclusion of a shield pack which contains three in-game shields. While Kratos has been equipped with shields in the past, they've never comprised a core component of the gameplay, so this addition to the franchise is something that could definitely mix things up in the combat department.

How would you feel about Kratos being a bit more defensive? Protect yourself from a harpy in the comments below.
