Sony Lets Slip ‘God Of War’ Release Date?
For those who are psyched for the return of Kratos and the God Of War franchise, someone at Sony seems to have given us a little Christmas present (but take this with grain of salt, as usual).
It seems last night someone on the PlayStation Store dun goofed, as Twitter user Wario64 snagged a screenshot showing the game being set for release on March 22nd for North America. And after doing some further digging, it was discovered that Amazon UK has listed the game’s artbook set for release on March 8th. This is rather critical, seeing as The Game Awards are set for this week, as well as Sony’s own PlayStation Experience, with the potential for the official announcement to be made.
This morning, however, the PlayStation Store listing has the game’s release date for December 31st, 2018. This is probably not the release date, and rather someone hit the panic button. Nonetheless, this is all speculation, and we won’t know until Sony says something, possibly later this week.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
