Last June, through a statement similar to what is news today, they indicated that they were looking for personnel for a video game with a “complex narrative.” On their official website, in the section Who we are, they indicate that they currently work in their offices with more than 250 people, a growth that they have been able to achieve since they moved to the new offices in Playa Vista, back in July 2014.
Regarding God of War: Ragnarok, the title is still scheduled for 2021 exclusively for PlayStation 5. Just a few days ago we learned that they have signed a Naughty Dog sound designer to actively participate in the development of this sequel.
The PlayStation Studios roadmap for 2021 has big names on the table, making it easier, should they all be released, for the transition from PS4 to PS5 to be as fast as its managers hope. We are talking about works like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West, Returnal, God of War or Gran Turismo 7.
