It really feels like Sony should announce the release date for God of War sharpish, as rumours are sprouting out of all corners of the internet. Another retail listing, this time on Amazon.com, shows a Collector's Edition for $129.99, but there are currently no further details. With GameStop listing the massive Stone Mason Edition for $149.99, it seems this may be something different, but we can't know for certain at the moment.
Perhaps most interestingly, Amazon has stuck a release date on this page, stating that the product will launch on 20th April - a Friday.
All these differing dates lead us to believe that no one has a clue when God of War is supposed to launch. All eyes must now turn to Sony. Come on, guys, just get it over with.
In all seriousness, we imagine a release date announcement will happen soon, along with full information on the different versions of the game. When do you think God of War is launching? Stroke Kratos' rugged beard in the comments below.
Update: The linked page has now disappeared from Amazon, and seems to have been replaced by a page for the Stone Mason Edition. Amazon has listed both versions of the game with a release date of 30th June.

With all the special editions announced and the likelihood of release in the next 2-3months, you would think that they must have a very good idea of when this game is expecting to release.
As I have stated, I much prefer a date to be set when they are 99.9% confident of meeting that date. It surprises me though, that either the Devs or Publisher are not confident enough to fix a date this close to the end. Whether that's because Santa Monica are struggling to iron out all the bugs, polish the game etc or Sony aren't confident that they will meet the 'going gold' deadline to lock in a date.
I know its not unusual for some games to get 2-3month notice on a games release but this game seems to have been around for years. I know Sony may have had some criticism for setting dates and not sticking to them but it still seems somewhat 'late' to announce a release date for this. People were expecting release dates at E3, Gamescom or even as late as PSX for a game expected in the first quarter of 2018
Come on Sony, let's be having you.
I think Sony are still trying to get their ducks in a row. I feel like God of War has been finished for months now.
If they are trying to avoid the holiday season for their exclusives, then they've somehow got to release Dreams, Days Gone, God of War, Detroit and Spider-Man between February and September/October (assuming they're all 2018 titles).
On top of this there is SOTC and major multiplats that will have large PlayStation interest.
The games will need breathing space, but there are just too many games!
I would like GoW to be in March, but I think Sony are going to move it into April.
Ni no Kuni 2 is going to be big for Sony in Japan.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah, I was just saying how they are running the risk of canabalizing each other’s sales if these games get pushed too close together. And all these great single player exclusives are going to have to deal with Red Dead 2 later in the year. People only have so much time and money.
Maybe sony will announce the release date after the release shadow of the colossus to avoid stealing its thunder...
@Th3solution It's mad to think that all these games will be out within months of each other. My wallets already been stretched and its only January!
Also Sony have got the marketing rights for Far Cry 5- out on the 27th March, which makes me believe that this is an April release.
@Th3solution. I have time for god of war playa.my most wanted games of 2018.word up son
I think with so many titles shifting at the moment, they are probably trying to work out when things like RDR2 is going to land or other titles so they can get it right. The marketing and hype machine has been rumbling for some time now so I think they are expecting a release in the next few months.
I know its annoying bit I personally prefer Sony being careful with release dates. However an announcement would be nice soon if it is in april lol (and if burnout is releasing in march for that matter EA)
Plot twist: God of War, Detroit and Spider-Man are all made in Dreams, so they're all coming out on the same date.
@Octane I think you've nailed it.
BEARDS!

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah, I’m sure the “powers that be” at Sony are a lot smarter than me and have this all figured out, but they need to be careful how they roll all these games out.
But I’m with you. I’m still catching up from 2017. And that’s the other thing — we’ve got to plan for the undiscovered gems that lie out there we don’t even know about yet for 2018. Some of my favorite games of 2017 were games I did not initially plan to buy (NieR Automata, What Remains of EF, etc) so I can see Valkyria Chronicles or BioMutant coming out of left field to take up time and money too.
Let's get that release date already ! Sony is being Super cautious on these release dates . April would be cool my bday month 🙂👌🏾
As long as it's not on April 1st ^^
It could be April, there are many games that will be released in March, maybe Sony is thinking about that.
Anyway, God of War could be released in March as well, it's my most anticipated game by miles compared to another releases.
@Fight_Teza_Fight My thoughts exactly. Just remembered the Far Cry 5 marketing rights for Sony not too long ago and with how serviceable the Far Cry series has been in the west it gives me enough of a notion that GoW will find it's way into April. Also believe Cory would like to have the game polished as much as time will allow.
I've updated the article. Seems the page in question was merely placeholder for the Stone Mason Edition, which now has a listing on Amazon.
Yea, I could see April being the month.
It's confirmed.
4/20 There it is guys!!!
Hiding my credit cards. Hype is through the roof. Don't think I'm in a state to make rational decisions.
