God of War PS4 latest news: release date, gameplay, and trailer
It's not God of War 4, and it's not a reboot: it's God of War for PS4. Here's what we know about the story, plus gameplay trailer and release date rumours.
Sony started off its 2016 E3 conference with a new God of War game. It isn't God of War 4, and it isn't a reboot: the story follows on from previous games, with one major change: Kratos now has a son, Atreus.
Here's what we know so far about the new God of War for PS4, including the release date, gameplay, and the announcement trailer.

When is the release date?
Development is still ongoing, and the announcement trailer is an "early first glimpse" of the new game. Right now there isn't even a year to which anyone can pin the game's release, so it's anyone's guess.
Still, we have some reason to think it might be coming next year. A German retailer accidentally posted a listing for a Collector's Edition of the game, including a release date of 18 January 2018. That might just be a placeholder, but it's a plausible fit given when we first heard about the title.
If you're curious, that Collector's Edition includes the game, a statue of Kratos and his son Atreus fighting two Helmsters, two carved toy figurines (as played with by Atreus), a steelbook case, a lithograph print, a map of the in-game world, the original soundtrack, and a Shield Pack containing 3 in-game shields for Kratos to use.

What will the gameplay be like?
Santa Monica Studio has been working on the game for several years. Creative Director Corey Barlog says on the PlayStation blog that the aim was to "create a different, better and truly more memorable experience than before".
He explains that it's not a reboot, not a retelling of the original story. Instead he "wanted to reimagine the gameplay, give players a fresh perspective and a new tactile experience while delving deeper into the emotional journey of Kratos to explore the compelling drama that unfolds when an immortal demigod makes a decision to change."
