@Americansamurai1 Nope, it only ever got a PlayStation Blog post.

@Jacko11 The image is real, it was posted by Amazon itself. It just probably won't be in the literal show when it's available.

@wildcat_kickz I don't really know, the only thing I can think of is DF were given the PS5 Pro firmware patch ahead of time to test it.

The PlayStation Blog post definitely says it's out for normal PS5 Pro users in March / the coming weeks, suggesting it's not live yet.

@OrbiterNightfall The review hasn't been edited once since it was uploaded, but thank you so much for your kind words!

@MB3108 @saffeqwe Please read the review.

@jdv95 There is one level/environment during Leon's campaign that's more open. Besides that, it is linear.

@DennisReynolds You unlock a harder difficulty mode for the campaign, but there aren't any bonus modes like Mercenaries or anything like that.

Hey everyone, if you have any questions, feel free to copy me in!

@viktorcode You can play the whole thing in singleplayer.

@LogicStrikesAgain Thank you very much, we appreciate it! 😊

@LogicStrikesAgain There is the rare occasion where we'll be told ahead of time, but generally, we find out the same time as you in terms of shadow drops. We didn't know about today's new God of War game outside of the public rumours, and we don't have a copy yet.

Of course, we want to get a review out in good time, but in these situations, we just try to get them published in a timely manner. We've all got real lives outside of the job!

@PuppetMaster Not forgotten, we're still writing articles!

@Oram77 Yeah, I've linked to a different trailer in my comment. All these deep dive videos have been from a PC, but there is that PS5 Pro trailer.

@Oram77 This trailer was captured on PS5 Pro, though it's obviously not raw gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua_7lmxiVV8&rco=1

@Fiendish-Beaver There aren't any difficulty settings, but I'm pretty sure you can get all the Trophies in a single playthrough. Everything can be done in single player; there's nothing requiring co-op.

Hey everyone, if you have any questions, feel free to copy me in.

It’s worth noting this game will come with a Friend’s Pass for co-op, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be there at launch.

@johncalmc Yeah... reviewing this John.

@Fiendish-Beaver That's right, there are three pre-determined characters and that's it.

@NieR_Dark They might be replayable from the Shrines, but I haven't looked for them. The collectibles are all on the main open zone maps, which you can freely return to after beating the story.

@JAMes-BroWWWn I had done maybe 30% of the side quests by the time I rolled credits, but they're all incredibly basic missions. You could probably get the main story done on its own in 35-40 hours, but you need the currency from them to be able to level up comfortably.

@Fiendish-Beaver Nah, all Trophies can be earned on your own in single player.

@3Above We won't know that until review code is distributed, which will hopefully be as early as possible given the game's size. Maybe we'll know around the start of March.

@DreadfulDragon Except that's not what happens, especially in the modern era. We get a code to review the game with and that's it.

@Boxmonkey No, there was no takeover. We have a partnership with IGN Entertainment, but that's it. We are an independent company (Hookshot Media).

@Boxmonkey No it's not. We are an independent website.

@Colour Yes, you can switch between first and third-person for both characters.

@shonenjump86 Yes you can, and vice versa for Leon.

@Weebleman My play session was on the PS5 Pro and it ran without any issues I saw. Obviously, I can't really say it's perfect until the review, but I didn't come across any technical problems.

@Fiendish-Beaver Yes, I'll be reviewing and it will be out before release!

@Uromastryx @MrStark I really don't understand what either of you are expecting from these lower entries in the top 10 list; these positions are always going to come down to more personal taste of the staff. You're both acting like there's some widely agreed upon best seventh and eighth game of 2025 haha

@Fiendish-Beaver It's an enterprise value of $82 billion and an equity value of $72 billion

@Ravix @Max_the_German GTA 6 has already won the Most Anticipated award on the PS Blog, and it's taken out of the category when it wins for future years. It's explained on the blog.

@Fiendish-Beaver The new Trophies will be added as a DLC list, so they won't affect unlocking the Platinum for the base game.

@Darude84 I guess you didn't read the whole review then?

@WolfyTn @EK42 @Gremio108 It's on Game Pass from today, thus we republish the guides.

@nicc83 That's why "could be" is in the headline.

@darylb24 We're all different editorial teams that request review codes separately; there's not just one code for the entire network of sites and only one of us gets it. I can't speak for what happened with Pure Xbox's access, but we source our own independently.

I refuse to believe this is going to be the last DLC and they're moving on, this game has been way too successful for them to stop now.

I reckon they'll put out a larger expansion next year, like Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077.

@Northern_munkey The servers were online for most of our review process, but there weren’t enough people with access to the game to fill them. This is why we’ve done the right thing and gone with a review in progress that’ll be updated with a final score next week.

@Oram77 There hasn't been any reliable reporting about it yet.

@sanderson72 It's listed for PS4 on the PS Store page: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP4837-PPSA04158_00-GS3MAINGAMEPACK0

Seems only a special edition is on PS4 normally, but it's on PS Plus Essential for PS4 owners too.

@StrickenBiged No, I don't believe there's a transmog system. I certainly haven't come across one, at least.

@SeaDaVie They're called Hard and Lethal.

@BeyondKnight Yes, and I still have some more to do.

@rjejr @PuppetMaster There are 5 difficulty options available from the start; there's not an unlockable harder mode after completion. There's an easy mode and then a casual mode below it.

I haven't tested the hardest mode, but the AI poses a fair challenge on medium, which is what I used for the review. I imagine the hardest mode is really quite challenging!

@Cerny There's definitely a little bit of clipping tied to your weapons and clothing, but that's all I noticed.

@MichaelNau All the side content I've played up until now has been pretty engaging — most of it has been more than just settling a dispute over a farm etc.

@KundaliniRising333 One of the optional activities to do is clear enemy camps, yeah.

@KundaliniRising333 You have to flick coins at other coins without them falling off the table or colliding with another to score points. It's simple but I really enjoyed it.

@Rich33 You create your own map markers by identifying landmarks through the spyglass. You have to be very close to something if you stumble upon it completely naturally for it to be marked on your map.

Hey everyone, thanks for reading! I have tried to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible, but if you have any questions beyond what's covered, feel free to copy me in.

It would be great if people could read the article to see Saros is already confirmed for the show. 😂
