The Remastered "God of War 3" was disclosed to be out on July 14, and now the focus of fans naturally shifted to when the "God of War 4" will hit the market. At this point, all the rumors suggested a late 2016 release date at the soonest possible time, although this could not be confirmed just yet.
In fact, Gama Sutra pointed to this big hiring call for developers to work on their Santa Monica Studio, which fans know is the birthplace of the "God of War" franchise. Those who are lucky enough to be hired for the project would find themselves being thrown into a cesspool of creativeness, which would prove beneficial if they do want to build a career as a game coder.
While it might not be prudent to infer that the big hire is most likely in connection to the "God of War" 4 release date, it would not be too much of a reach to make that conclusion either. For now, however, Sony is not talking, which would be the wise thing to do considering the announcement surrounding the Remastered "GoW 3."
Writer Cory Barlog has confirmed in a blog post published on the Playstation website that the Remastered "God of War 3" will be out this July. He also wrote that fans can better enjoy the action-packed game on a 1080p resolution, together with a "silky smooth combat" and a "new photo mode" which permits gamers to share their achievements on various social media platforms.
Meanwhile, there's speculation that the main hero, Kratos, won't be reprised for "Game of War 4." The upcoming installment of the franchise hinted of some grim ending as the body of the warrior [SPOILER] went missing, but there's blood trail on the ground leading to somewhere.
There are two conclusions from this: either he dragged his own body somewhere to heal, or somebody dragged his bloodied corpse away. But it would not be the first time that Kratos died, so there is a possibility he will be featured as well in "God of War 4," which can only be confirmed once the rumors get some semblance of confirmation from the studio, particularly if the release date draws near.
