Among the stars of this week's PlayStation Showcase we can cite God of War: Ragnarok. Santa Monica Studio's game shone during the conference, and more information about its design has just leaked out.
It's a bit of a habit for the "God of War" saga. Since the launch of the original God of War in 2005, almost every new installment has had a different director. Only Cory Barlog, well-known and appreciated by fans on Twitter, returned for two separate episodes. Indeed, we owe him God of War 2 and the one released in 2018 on PS4. But the tradition will finally resume its normal course...

A veteran director
During the post-show organized by Sony just after the event on Thursday, Cory Barlog confirmed that he does not occupy the position of director on God of War: Ragnarök. Eric Williams replaces him. The latter arrived at Santa Monica Studio in 2004 and worked as a designer on absolutely every God of War released to date on home consoles. Suffice to say that Williams knows his subject well.
Barlog clarified: “The important thing for us is to be able to have a new perspective each time, but also a new pair of legs in the sense that you are really exhausted at the end of such a project. So you have to get someone else to do it. »
God of War: Ragnarök will be released on PS5 and PS4.
