Sony has announced that God of War will be released for PS4 on April 20, 2018. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, director Cory Barlog announced the date and called the date his "favorite release day of my entire career. If I live to be 100, I do not think I will be able to top this release day." The news comes alongside a new trailer featuring Kratos and his son Atreus along with new locations and insight into the game's story. "There has been a long journey just to reach this point, so it’s a little bittersweet to think that we are only a few months away from that journey finally coming to an end," Barlog wrote.
