Viele waren traurig als auch Cory Barlog die Santa Monica Studios, die für die God of War Reihe verantwortlich sind, verließ (Cory Barlog verlässt SCEA...). Nach mehrwöchiger Schweigephase meldet sich Cory Barlog in seinem Blog und versichert, dass der dritte Teil der Kratos Saga in guten Händen sei.

Hier ein Auszug aus seinem Blog:

I know for the God of War fans out there it might be a bummer that I am not working on God of War 3 (or for some it may be a good thing I am not) but rest assured that it is all in good hands. The Sony Santa Monica team is one of the best teams I have ever worked with. Also, immediately after I finished God of War 2 I was already working on the story and design for the third game. So when Sony and I finally did part ways the foundation of the game, along with story that completes the arc we began in God of War , was complete. I wish I could have been there to see it through to the end, but it was just not meant to be I guess. The story is going to finish off with a very big, very epic bang though. I think everyone will be quite pleased. Well, everyone except edge magazine that is. :)
