Not for the first time, God of War director Cory Barlog's been a smart arse, and we love it. Not one to shy away from a cheeky tease on Twitter, Barlog seems to have hinted at a sequel to the excellent action title... Again. Now look, we all know God of War 2 -- or whatever it's going to be called -- is an inevitability at point, but you've gotta give Cory credit for his creative streak on social media.
You see, the tweets in question were made over a month ago, dating back to the 21st April. Barlog crafted a string of posts about God of War's development, and while they certainly make for an entertaining read, they also hide a message.
As pointed out on Reddit -- at least, that's where we found it -- the first letter of every tweet, when combined, spell out a very relevant statement, given the events of God of War. It reads: 'RAGNAROK IS COMING'. For those out of the loop, Ragnarok is essentially the end of the world in Norse mythology. There's a massive final battle, gods are killed, and the world's ravaged by natural disasters. When it's all over, the world's reborn. Epic in the true sense of the word.
And yes, as some of you will no doubt be aware, this isn't the first time 'Ragnarok is coming' has appeared as a secret God of War-related message. Just days before Barlog made the tweets, a God of War PlayStation 4 theme was released, celebrating the game's one year anniversary. The theme depicted Kratos and Atreus aboard a boat, and etched on the side of the vessel? Ragnarok is coming.
We guess God of War: Ragnarok does have a nice ring to it.

This is great.
@playstation1995 yep I remember having a wooden Atari 2600 and plenty of games that I had no idea how to play without the manuals, great times though. Went through all the Sega and Nintendo consoles but a bigger Sega fan and loved the Megadrive/Genesis (can't wait for the mini), so didn't go straight to Playstation and went with Saturn instead. Did come round to Playstation after seeing Resident Evil and Tekken and loved the likes of Syphon Filter and Die Hard Trilogy. Weirdly God of War is a franchise I never really dabbled in, absolutely love the recent one and have now gone back to 3 to see what I was missing out on and so far it looks like I missed out on a lot
@carlos82 god of war 3 is amazing all of them are.but I love me syphon filter franchises.thats the reason why I became a bigger Sony fan.my favorite ps1 games ever.if I get the sega mini.i will get a sega genesis for contra hard corpse.ahh the memories.word up son
@get2sammyb Cory's replies to your Pushsquare tweet about this are awesome. In fact I would recommend anyone on Twitter to follow Cory, he does a lot of fun tweets.
