God of War Ragnarok Director Assures Fans a Delay Hasn’t Happened

In the video game world, there are few things worse than a delay. For the longest time, when a game had a release date, that was it. Moving that date was unthinkable for various reasons, not the least of which was financial. Fast forward to now, and release date delays are not just common, they’re almost expected for certain major titles. Fans have grown tired of it, and many have wondered if the upcoming title God of War Ragnarok would be the next to disappoint the eager masses.

Yesterday on Twitter, the director of God of War Ragnarok, Cory Balrog, made a tweet that featured none other than Baby Yoda. All he said in the tweet was basically for the internet to “be cool.” A simple enough request, but this is the internet. When it comes to Balrog’s Twitter feed, he is usually one to give updates and clues about the God of War titles. Many fans saw this and wondered if this was a hint that a delay would be coming and thus they needed to “be cool about it.”

Those fans gave voice to their fears and started making statements about how a “delay was confirmed.” As such, Balrog had to make multiple tweets and replies stating that the game was not being delayed from its November time slot.

The game has been in the works for years, and it was originally supposed to release earlier this year before it saw a delay to November. Even before then, it was clear that the team wasn’t going to announce the new release date until they were ready, and that led to fans all but berating them for no real reason other than they didn’t know when it was going to release.

If you can’t tell, there are a lot of people excited about this game. The first game in this reboot of the franchise was a masterpiece, surprising everyone. God of War Ragnarok is likely going to be bigger, grander, and better looking due to it being on the PS5.
