God of War: Ragnarok has received a rating in South Korea, suggesting that the game is well on its way to the 2022 release date.
As detected by ResetEra modiz user, Ragaorok was rated a “18-year-old or older” game by the South Korean Gaming Administration and Rating Committee, and a game that is usually rated means it has presented a relatively complete version and is therefore not too far away. to be released.
While developer Sony Santa Monica has recently assured fans that the long-awaited sequel to God of War (2018) will be released this year, there is also reason to be a little skeptical. 2022 has proven to be a particularly unpleasant year for gaming delays, as the impact of COVID-19 still resonates throughout the industry. So far, 29 games have been affected by delays this year, highlighted by the recent change of Bethesda’s Redfall and Starfield next year.
Ragnarok himself has also lagged behind before and is just one of many PlayStation Studios titles that have been rejected. Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, and Ghost of Tsushima have been lagging behind Sony for the past two years.
Originally set to be released in 2021, Ragnarok stepped back “to make sure Santa Monica Studio can offer the fantastic God of War game that we all want to play.” The voice actor of the protagonist Kratos later revealed that he was part of the reason for Ragnarok’s delay, but said that he had to undergo physical therapy after several operations in 2019 and therefore could not work. .

Ragnarok was announced for the PlayStation 5 (and it was later confirmed that it will also arrive on PS4) in September 2020, and a year later a three-minute trailer was shared.
