Today, Sony and Santa Monica Studio causedGod of Warfans to rejoice after the companies decided to officially reveal that the forthcoming action-adventure epic will receive its very ownlimited edition PS4 Pro. Now, it looks as if even more good news has come out following this reveal, as the game’s director, Cory Barlog, has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 exclusive will not feature microtransactions.
As seen below in the exchange between Barlog and aGod of Warfan on Twitter, the user with the handle “@deviance23” asked the director if the game will have microtransactions or offer the ability for people to spend real world money for in-game outfits. Much to the relief ofGod of Warfans around the globe, Barlog then enthusiastically responded to confirm such features will be absent, stating, “No freakin way!!!”
There’s no doubt thatGod of War’s eschewing of microtransactions will be seen as a propitious piece of evidence that Sony and Santa Monica Studio intend to release the game as a product that’s geared not only toward long-time fans of the franchise, but also newcomers who are exhausted by the current landscape of releases that include in-game purchases. Players looking forward to the title already received a similar bit of fortunate news thatGod of Warwon’t have a season pass.
Bearing all of this in mind, it looks as if Sony and Santa Monica Studio are confident enough in the prospective sales ofGod of Warto allow it to be an experience untainted by the modern industry practice of nickel-and-diming its fans for additional profits. Even though this form of revenue collection appears to bethe future of gaming, most, if not allGod of Warfans will surely be thankful to learn that it won’t be incorporated into the forthcoming sequel.
God of Waris set to release on July 28, 2025 for PlayStation 4.
