• According To Playstation Database , God of War Ragnarök Coming September 30th 2022
• According To Playstation Database , Sonic Frontiers Coming November 15th 2022

PSA: These dates are very likely placeholders. GoW is slatted for the same day Q3 financial day ends.

 

[remember_spinal]

I hope sony is actually thinking ahead of time about not crowding their game releases this year. if Ragnarok is in the back half of 2022 along with another big game we won’t have a repeat of this year

Let Forspoken, Gran Turismo, Horizon, and the exclusive indies shine for the first half of the year

 

[saintjules]

I think I was reading in another thread about Sonic. I definitely think it's a placeholder in the least. I would like to think GOW would be May 2022, but could be anything really.

 

[Sosokrates]

Makes sense, GOW is a big game, cant be rushed.

 

[Concern]

Last one dropped in April iirc. Probably see another delay before September.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Nice; I had a feeling they were gonna sandwich 2022 with H:FW and GoW Ragnarok, tho I thought the latter'd be maybe November (maybe they don't want to go up against COD tho). I'm actually pretty optimistic about Sonic Frontiers, here's hoping it turns out very well to match what the sequel movie's looking like.

 

[cormack12]

Suppose the big question is if GOW is Q3 end or Q4 start. Further out than I was expecting though tbh.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I was thinking October/November so they can have a holiday game

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Obvious placeholder, but it means they're targeting summer

 

[AmuroChan]

September seems right. Sony 1st party will have Horizon, GT7, and MLB in the first half of the year. GoW will be their big Fall title.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I was thinking October/November so they can have a holiday game

They have multiplats and third party exclusives for the holiday so I doubt that's a concern for them

 

[Smether]

I would imagine no sooner than Sept. for God of War. Horizon is 2/18 and Gran Turismo was supposed to be March, so plenty in the pipeline for the first part of the year already

 

[DeepEnigma]

more like maybe people will be able to get ps5's

This is something that never bothered Sony.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

If I'm Sony, I want at least 1 big game every quarter.

If GoW:R is their big title for the fall quarter, I'd be pretty disappointed. I was hoping we'd see a legit PS5 game release in Q3 and Q4.

Maybe it is just me but I feel like 2022 is going to be a disappointing year for PS5 much in the same way 2021 was.

 

[rofif]

Was hoping Gow would be sooner. But good to hear it's 2022 at the very least.
Can't freaking wait

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

This is a Q2 placeholder, not a September placeholder

So it could release anytime between July and September

 

[Sosokrates]

I doubt it, this is the final game in this GOW reboot and from what they jave said its going to be really epic. 4yrs is actually pretty good for a game of gow's size and scope.

 

[ckaneo]

Placeholders

 

[Bartski]

likely just the current target date. Q2 without a first party headliner?

You have to be smoking crack to come to this conclusion. With Forbidden west, GT7, Partnered games like Sifu, Stray, all coming next year on top of any un-announced titles is going to be a great year for sony. Not even talking about what might be released next year as a package deal from Naughty Dog. I've heard that Remake of Last of us part 1 is in a good state, they are mainly waiting on Multiplayer which might get a slight beta release late 2022.

But the package of Last of us part 1+2 and DLC is suppose to be by end of next year. So we will see if they make that. Even if they dont. God of war, Forbidden west, GT7, Sifu, Forspken, GhostWire all next year. Thats a big lineup. Even with just first party those 3 titles alone are huge.

Final game in the Norse Mythos story arc. They never said “final game in the reboot.”

I don’t get why that would matter from a consumer standpoint.

Sure, it would be a good idea to space things out for sales reasons but I think 2022 will be a crowded year regards if most of the games aren’t delayed. For example - Sifu, Elden Ring and Horzion FB are all coming out in the same month (Feb 2022).

I think Sony will push GOW to Nov because the narrative this year was they didn’t have enough big games at the end of the year like Xbox did.

These cross-generation titles don't have me very hyped up nor do the AA games. I doubt we see a ton of unannounced games that drop in 2022, maybe the Last of Us Remake, otherwise, I'd bet more on ports/remasters showing up rather than big titles that haven't even been teased.

That to me just isn't a big lineup, but I'm also not a huge fan of Horizon. Maybe I'm biased because these games aren't getting numerical continuations and they're cross gen, but they just don't look like next gen leaps from the previous franchise installments, which makes them feel like DLC expansions to me.

 

[SEGA_2012]

YES ! DAY FUCKING ONE FOR SONIC GOTY-ERS !
Oh my God i can't wait to play this Masterpiece

 

[Camreezie]

When all theyve given is a year for release it can only be delayed into next year

 

[balls of snow]

Ahh taking that spiderman date.

God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Granblue Fantasy Relink, SIFU, Little Devil Inside Me, Stray, Gran Turismo 7 and possibly Final Fantasy 16

2022 already looks better than 2021

Calling Forbidden west and Ragnarok DLC expansions is some kind of new goalpost meta.

If you can't see that the industry is excited for Sony's First party then I would have to believe your just not a fan of what they make. There are literally threads recently on Forbidden west and every publication has been talking about specifically God of war and Horizon.

I now see you Joined in September, to ignore you go.

 

[bitbydeath]

Hopefully the GoW delays are because they took one look at Horizon and realised they could do better.

 

[kingfey]

as long as its not close to November, it will be fine.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Pumped for Ragnarok. Time to face Thor in an epic battle for the fate of Midgard.

 

[PlaystationFan5349]

Makes sense, GOW is a big game, cant be rushed.

Looking at how it’s just a sequel and they used the same assets and animations and they have been working on it since 4 years ago in pretty sure that it’s not rushed.

 

[T0minator]

I have a feeling this will be PS5s big hitters for 2022

Horizon Forbidden West - Feb
GT 7 - March
Forespoken -May
Ghostwire - Summer
God of War Ragnarok -Oct
The Last of Us: Factions 2 - Nov

They better be 20+ hours games.

Horizon at least looks like a small improvement but God of War looks exactly the same as the first one.

I hate how people try to put every single game as a must have.

Nobody knows what Forespoken and Ghostwire is.

We don't know what most of 2022 games are like, Redfall, Starfield, God of War Ragnarok included. Those that I mentioned have the potential to be big hitters

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sony doesn't ever release their big games after September unless they have new hardware to sell. It's been like that since the PS4 came out. I never expected GoW to release during those months as well.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

You mean like Starfield? The first game from an unknown IP where we only got one image?

People get hyped for stuff...

 

[StealthGoblin]

It having a Spider-Man ish release date would suit me.

It’s also a massively good idea to avoid being too near Forspoken, Gran Turismo, Horizon and Ghostwire Tokyo, while also avoiding the November squash.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Never understood these comments. They're sequels. Of course they're going to look the same

 

[BlackM1st]

GoW looked very rough, so maybe something will be actually improved.

You're trolling right?

Still funny to see people doubt Santa Monica Studios... I don't know how anyone can say "it looks rough" they hardly showed anything. SMS doesn't miss.

 

[NeonGhost]

Still saying April for good of war

Cool plenty of time for me to check out the 2018 version of God of War which is part of my backlog!

[KAL2006]

That date makes sense

January - Uncharted
February - Horizon
March - Gran Turismo
April -
May - Forspoken
June - Gostwire Tokyo
July - Last of Us 2 Remastered
August -
September - God of War
October -
November - Final Fantasy 16?
December -

Looked rough, nothing next gen about it. Horizon showed far bigger progress.
