While appearing on Kinda Funny’s GameOverGreggy Show, God of War Director Cory Barlog talked more in-depth about both the ambition and aspirations he and his team had while developing the game. During the discussion, he mentioned plans for more content in the form of DLC, however the scope of the content itself was said to be too big, hence the reason it never got out of its early production stages.
Even though fans may feel there’s no reason to return to God of War once they’ve completed it, a number of updates have been introduced this past summer to encourage replayability. First was the introduction of a photo mode and then, in August, God of War received a New Game + mode, which allowed players to further enhance their gear as they progressed through the story once more.
It’s understandable if some fans are upset they won’t be getting any more content for God of War than what’s available right now, and that’s mostly a credit to Sony and the way they’ve treated their first-party exclusives. Whether it be inFAMOUS First Light, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, or more recently Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City that Never Sleeps, Sony has created an expectation that more content will follow the initial release. It looks like for God of War, however, fans will just have to wait for whatever Sony Santa Monica is prepping for next.
God of War is available exclusively for PlayStation 4.
