God of War III coming 'soon'

by Jem Alexander { Feb 29th 2008 at 5:00PM }

While we've known that God of War III has been in development since Cory Barlog let it slip in early November, we haven't heard anything about it since then. Now, IGN have spotted a teaser advert for the game on the back cover of God of War: Chains of Olympus' retail manual. Not only does it confirm the game's existance for a second time, but it says that it will be "Coming Soon".

Considering that we weren't expecting to see God of War III before 2009, we're surprised that Sony are claiming that the game is coming "soon." Does this mean that we could be getting two Kratos adventures this year? No doubt we'll learn more later in the year at either Sony's Gamer's Day (whenever that lies this year) or at E3.

As if you couldn't see the game coming after GoW 1 was released.

And why not???

Why not release the biggest franchises on the year that your trying to trump out your competitor?? can you see it now?....

Gog of War 3 - Bundle, includes the 120GB PS3 and Dualshock 3 and all for a measily $400. Merry X-mas Sony fans!!!!!!! (M$ people... you can alway come join the good machine building side!!!)

It said coming soon for the PSP on the back of the GOW 2 manuals yet we are finally going to get it in a few days, almost a year after it was hinted at. So I doubt we will be seeing this game available on the PS3 this year.

No it didn't Tanya. I just looked at my day one copy of GoW2 and it says coming 2007 for that ad. I forgive them because that was their goal back in Feb/Mar of last year, when they likely thought they could get it out then.

you're absolutely right! I don't want to see this game out any sooner than at least 3057, i want this game to be the absolute BEST that it could ever be. No bug will be too small to fix, no texture too high rez. I want this game to be absolutely PERFECT in every conceivable aspect, and i for one do not care how long it takes!!!
