Santa Monica Studio has a message for those that have joined Kratos and Atreus on their journey so far
One of PlayStation’s most iconic series is reaching new heights this week. Thanks to all of you, our fans, God of War has become the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive, with more than 3.1 million units sold globally in the first three days (20-22 April).
When we first revealed God of War less than two years ago, we knew we had something truly special. Fans reacted with tremendous excitement to this bold reimagining of the franchise, and we were thrilled to explore the unique father-son dynamic between Kratos and Atreus.
Fast-forward to present day with the game’s release, and we are humbled to see such positive reviews.
This wouldn’t have been made possible without the exceptional team at Santa Monica Studio, and studio head Shannon Studstill shares with us this personal message:
“I would like to personally thank the millions of fans around the world who decided to embark on Kratos’ latest adventure with us. Your support is truly inspiring, and it’s a reason why we push ourselves every day to go beyond the boundaries of play. I’d also like to thank our Creative Director, Cory Barlog, and Director of Product Development, Yumi Yang and our entire amazing team at Santa Monica Studio. The belief in the game’s vision and the passion for storytelling across the team is undeniable. We look forward to hearing more about how fans are creating new memories of their favorite God of War gameplay moments that will be remembered for a long time.”
We hope you’ve enjoyed playing the game as much as we loved the process of creating it for you!
Good to hear.
I was pleasantly surprised with the game. Didn’t expect it to be as good as it was and that it respected the player more than many other AAA games out there.
is one from the best game ever made
Congrats ?
Glad to hear that. The game is awesome
Very nice ?
Well deserved success. Sony and their development studios know that there’s still a huge demand for high quality single player games and they are providing them. I’ve absolutely loved this new God of War even more than I thought I would and it was worth every penny and then some. No need for micro-transactions and such, just make a truly excellent game and sell it well.
It deserves this, this is the first game in a long time that I’ve really put as much time in as possible. Now I’m older I have to carefully pick my games to have the time to play them. Cory and the rest of the team have done something wonderful, taken a beloved franchise and reignited it. Cannot wait to see what comes next.
I can’t wait to play this. Since the Witcher, I’ve not been able to sink my teeth into a game unless it has a great story. I finished Horizon and now I can look forward to GOW
So much for people not caring about single-player games any more. God of War made it to the top of the sales charts as well according to Eurogamer. That’s a single-player only game making it ahead of various multiplayer games, and doing so while only being available on one console.
It makes me very happy to hear that. For me personally it’s easily one of the best and most beautiful games I’ve played yet. Absolutely stunning what you guys have created here and you really deserve to have the best selling ps4 exclusive to date!
Finished last night just a few collectables and things to do. Straight up one of the best games I’ve ever played, if not the best. Saw an article that said it needs a score of it’s own and I agree with that. It blows pretty much every other 10/10 game away.
Finished the story a couple nights ago yet this evening spent another 4 hours on it doing various side quests and stuff I didn’t know existed yet and that’s even before I’ve started taking on more of the valkyries (they are tough so require some resource hunting and armour crafting). Tis a big awesome game. :)
