No Major Games In November Other Than God of War: Ragnarok

Santa Monica Studio is set to release the much anticipated God of War: Ragnarok on November 9, 2022. It is undoubtedly one of the biggest games of 2022. The first part, God of War, was a success, and the next installment is expected to break records.

Apparently, game developers are deciding against a November release to avoid a date clash with Santa Monica Studio’s God of War Ragnarok.

No Other Games In November as Developers Make Way for Ragnarok — God of War Ragnarok

Kinda Funny recently discussed the delay of Marvel’s next release, Midnight Suns, which has been pushed to 2023.

Host Tim Gettys mentioned that there were discussions with developers where they admitted to not releasing their projects in the same month Ragnarok was also launching.

I think we’re getting to this interesting point of games being scared of God of War Ragnarok. I’ve had business calls in the back end with people that have said things to me that I was shocked by of, just like, ‘hey, we’re pulling out on this, we’re backing off on this, we’re just giving God of War its space… God of War Ragnarok, I think, is kind of a game to its own in terms of hype and like with the expectations and how much it’s just going to control the narrative of the industry come November and leading into it and right after it.

This is not surprising given how popular the franchise is. The pre-orders for God of War: Ragnarok Jotnar edition sold out within minutes worldwide.

The game will follow the journey of Kratos and Atreus through the Nine Realms.
