God of War director Cory Barlog has revealed a juicy detail regarding the upcoming PlayStation 4 release. During the PlayStation Experience 2017 opening presentation, Barlog stated that the game takes around 25 to 30 hours to complete. If accurate, that means it's easily the longest title in the series.
We already know that God of War isn't open world or anything like that, but you are free to explore environments as you pass through them on your way to the next plot point. It's sounding like a very ambitious project.
Barlog also reassured fans that development is on track, and the studio is currently doing a lot of play testing. In other words, it's very much in the latter stages of production. We didn't get a release date, but a recent rumour said that God of War is coming in March 2018, which seems more than reasonable to us.

Sounds like they forgot to chop some for dlc and sell it back to us . Really hyped for this this game, most games take me a bit longer than is claimed as I love to soak up the atmosphere when playing and hunt down all the chests in the case of previous god of wars.
My social life is gonna be completely gone once MH:World comes out , but once these big PS4 exclusives start coming out gonna have to put down MH for a bit 😊
need to be convinced its more like 1-3 instead of 4 before I'd pick it up.
Dualshockers are reporting 25-35 hours so which is it? 30 hours is probably a safe bet in that case.
I don't know how I feel about this yet. Quality over quantity. You could beat the entire trilogy (9,12 &10 hours) in that time.
I expected it to be longer as it's not a multiplayer focused game and it has to justify the £50/$60 price tag, but I was expecting something closer to Uncharted 4 (15-20 hours).
Surprised we still haven't got a confirmed release date yet. Is this really a March release? Maybe they'll hold it till May and release it as a summer blockbuster like Uncharted 4.
I'm def more quality not quantity these days, and it takes a lot for me to finish even a 15 hour game. Marketing PR guff aside, Last of Us is a good example of length done right. On the flip-side you have Alien Isolation which really dragged its heels waaaaaay passed its welcome party. Wonder which one GoW will be more like.
@Cassetticons It's a system seller made by an excellent dev team. I think we'll be fine.
Single-player games for the win!
Can't wait for the new God of War.
I never got into God of War. But I'm liking what I'm seeing with this one so far.
I've only played the first God of War years ago, but I like the direction they're going with this one. It kinda looks like what Naughty Dog did with Uncharted 4, changing the direction a bit without reinventing the wheel, but possibly to a higher extent. I hope for more exploration and depth in this one.
word up son.this is great.kratos is back.breaking fools back.taking no slacks.things about to get hectic.ridding with his son aureus.on a legendary adventure.word
@oatmealwarrior92 word up.God of war is the number one game I'm waiting for
@PS_Nation @PS_Nation best franchise ever.of course you can't wait for this masterpiece.word up son😄
@Fight_Teza_Fight I thought Cory said 25-35 as well. I could be wrong though, it was early and I was half asleep!
Anyway, 30 hours means it's 45 for me. Even if I can get only thirty hours out of it, that's a huge game if true.
I have no problem with that.
Well the original God of War is the only game I've ever returned to the shop, since I completed it in one sitting. It was so pitifully short. This being a decent length makes it more likely I'll get it at some point (I haven't touched the series since the first one).
Never been a huge fan of God of War but gotta say this one looks very good indeed and I've loved the change in setting.
