"God of War 4" is without a doubt coming. The question though is when it will be available for PlayStation 4 gamers. The fourth installment of the third-person action-adventure video game was first announced during the E3 press conference in June. Since then, updates regarding its release have been pretty quiet.
According to reports, the "God of War 4" title will still feature protagonist Kratos but this time he will be accompanied by a kid. The gameplay trailer that was released during the conference showed a glimpse of what's in store for all the future players. In the video, Kratos and the kid went on a deer hunt to get some food. It all seemed different from the previous titles of the franchise but it reverted back to its original feel when demons appeared and Kratos' axe became more than just a wood chopper tool.
The gameplay trailer of "God of War 4" also teased the new combat style of Kratos and enhanced features. But contrary to the belief of many, the game will not feature a multiplayer mode. The kid's appearance in the game may seem like it will be multiplayer but reports said that it is less likely due to lacking depths of a multi-player mode.
As of now, nothing is certain yet on the game's release date fate but rumor has it that it will be delayed due to some issues. One issue mentioned is the shortage of qualified people who are working on the development of "God of War 4." This speculation started after developer Santa Monica Studio posted a job opening on their website. They were looking for some talents who can be part of the completion of the game.
But Sony Interactive Entertainment's Cory Barlog revealed via his Twitter account that it's not the recently hired people of the development team that is causing some delay of "God of War 4." In fact, it's the opposite as they are helping to make things go faster. Fans are still hoping that the game will be out sometime in 2017.
