Sony Santa Monica releases heartfelt anti-spoiler statement following God of War leaks Leave a comment
Following God of War Ragnarok leaks making their way online last week, Santa Monica Studios has released a statement online warning fans and passers by alike to make of the danger of spoilers in the run up to the game’s official release. Those eager to jump into the game totally fresh will have to be on their guard until November 9 when the game goes live.
How did the leaks happen? Well, according to game director Cory Balrog, a retailer selling God of War: Ragnarok early is to blame. There were also a few screenshots released prematurely by an individual who had linked their PlayStation and Twitter accounts (oops), but a few images pale in comparison to the entire game being out in the wild.
“As we approach launch, it is important for our studio to preserve the experience of God of War Ragnarök for players who want to enjoy the game for the first time without spoilers,” Sony Santa Monica writes in its statement. “We ask that you please be considerate of the many fans who do not want to accidentally see clips, gameplay, or narrative spoilers and avoid sharing them wider.”
