God of War creator shocked by information about the runtime of the new GoW game and does not want such a game

In a new video, the creator of God of War shared information that reached him regarding what players should expect from the new God of War.

God of War creator David Jaffe published a video in which he answers the question: “What will be shown at PlayStation Showcase 2021 [September 9],” and also shared information about the new God of War.

“Here is what I’ll tell you about the new God of War. I’m shocked in both a good and a bad way. I heard from people in the know that the game is tracking for 40 hours, they [the developers] are aiming for 40 hours of gameplay. I don’t know if that’s 100% completion [platinum trophy] or if that’s the average playthrough time [meaning completing just the story].”

He also added: “Personally, I don’t want the new God of War to be 40 hours. I’m not worried about the money [spent on development], but how long does the dev team have to work to make 40 hours of gameplay.” Jaffe knows some of the developers and praises them, but notes that keeping a game of that length engaging is a “hell of a hard task.”

Presumably, the new God of War will be shown on September 9.
