Cory Barlog has actually shared his stress at “disappointing” choices by some stores to offer God of War Ragnarok 2 weeks early, creating looters to flooding the web.
In a string uploaded over the weekend break, God of War: Ragnarok (opens up in brand-new tab) manufacturer Barlog asked forgiveness to followers that’d been patiently waiting on the highly-anticipated follow up, claiming “this is not at all how any of us at [Sony Santa Monica] wanted things to go”.
“You know, right now, I can really understand the benefit of having just an installer on the physical disc. [Shake my head]”, Barlog tweeted, intimating that offering the physical disc with the game mounted has actually caused some followers obtaining very early accessibility to the very deceptive story.
“A retailer selling the game nearly TWO WEEKS before release. Just so disappointing.”
Responses to his tweets vary from full-hearted assistance to needs to launch Ragnarok early, with numerous followers validating that they prepare to remain off social media sites as well as YouTube up until launch day in an initiative to prevent looters.
“Sorry to everyone that you have to dodge the spoilers if you want to play the game fresh,” Barlog included. “Completely fucking stupid you have to do this. This is not at all how any of us at SMS wanted things to go.”
This brand-new plant of looters comes simply days after God of War: Ragnarok screenshots appeared to leak ahead of its release next month (opens up in brand-new tab) (do not click if you’re attempting to remain spoiler-free!).
We just recently talked to Ragnarok supervisor Eric Williams, that went over how much Atreus has grown up in the time since the 2018 game (something the group has also had to deal with in real life (opens up in brand-new tab)). As Sony Santa Monica had actually maintained the tale under covers, the spoilerific screenshots were rather the shock.
