God of War: Ragnarok delayed to 2022
Will also come to the PS4

This PlayStation Blog post provided a little bit more details saying it will be delayed “to ensure that Santa Monica Studio can deliver the amazing God of War game that we all want to play.”
The blog also mentioned how the pandemic has affected their access to performance capture and talent. It also mentioned that with the delay, they are prioritizing both the quality of the game as well as the wellbeing of the people working on it.
Coming to PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 (PS4) owners can also rejoice as the game is confirmed to come to the last gen console. This is fantastic news considering the PlayStation 5 (PS5) is still not readily available for most people to purchase.
“You can’t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right?”, said PlayStation Studios president Hermen Hulst.
The God of War sequel, believed to be titled Ragnarok, was first teased in September 2022 as part of a PlayStation State of Play event. It only showed the game’s logo along with the phrase “Ragnarok is coming.”
God of War for PS4 was released in 2018. It featured and older and more grizzled Kratos who, after laying waste to the Greek gods, has moved to Midgard (based on Norse mythology) to live a quiet life. He now has a son named Atreus and the game tackles the story of the father-and-son tandem looking for the highest peak in the nine realms to scatter the ashes of his deceased wife.
Internet reactions
It appears most people weren’t surprised by the news. Most of them even welcome it. But some weren’t exactly thrilled that it will be available for the PS4.

Still struggling to get a new PlayStation 5? If dwindling console stocks are keeping you down, Sony has announced a reprieve for queue waiters. The company promised that supply for the console will greatly increase ahead of the PlayStation VR2’s launch in February.
Since the console’s launch back in 2020, scalpers and bots have persistently plagued the industry, taking supplies away from most gamers. Over the years, the impact of supply problems gradually dissipated. Today, it’s easier to buy a PlayStation 5, but supply can still be an issue in some parts of the world.
During CES 2023, Sony initially hinted that PlayStation 5 stocks should increase even more this year. Now, Sony is making it even more official. Today, the company officially posted that it’s easier to find one in retailers globally.
For users hunting for the console in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, Sony recommends going to the official PlayStation store to buy one.
To promote the increased supply, Sony has also released a new promotional video for the PlayStation 5’s exclusives set to imitate a news show.
Only a month into the year, 2023 is already looking to be a great year for the platform. Later in February, Sony is set to launch the new PlayStation VR2. The console will also host a flurry of notable exclusives including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Street Fighter 6.

Dell Technologies is working on an all-in-one intelligent game controller that shall interconnect devices and screens while providing a whole different level of gaming experience.
Called the Concept Nyx game controller, Dell’s project aims to provide easy access to gaming libraries across multiple devices and screens for effortless sessions at home.
Here’s what we know so far about Concept Nyx:
To kick things off, the design-making process took lots of turns. Developers explored adding tons of buttons, attachments, sensors, and more.
This has led to the potential final design that gives users personalized settings at their fingertips. It’s composed of the following parts:
- Dual thumb control wheels
- Light ring
- Adaptive thumbstick
- Omnipad
- Left and right scroll bumpers
- Fingerprint sensor in the middle
- Left and right adaptive triggers (underneath)
- Shift buttons (underneath)
The fingerprint reader detects who is using the controller specifically, to be able to load their games right where they left off instantly.
Dell also prioritized the device’s haptics. They come with self-adjusting variable resistance thumbsticks that can be tailored to user preferences and specific game play.
PC gaming musts have also been included in the concept. Shift buttons underneath the controller allow for more front button options, mimicking the shift combos from PC keyboards.
The innovative scroll wheels give users an easier time to navigate and select weapons, while the intelligent touchpad allows for instant access to customizable controls in-game, without having to toggle a menu screen which disrupts your real-time gaming view.

The era of tug-of-wars at home may soon be over as well. The Concept Nyx controller is being designed to accommodate simultaneous gaming.
For instance, while connected on two different headsets, two separate Concept Nyx controllers may be used to play two different games on a split screen.
Streaming to other devices and screens and wi-fi connectivity are also some of the capabilities of the controller by simply pulling the thumbstick.
All these factors have been the foundation for the development of the Concept Nyx’s intelligent edge ecosystem beyond gaming.
