A State of Play for June 2022 could be pencilled in next week, with a reliable leaker hinting at upcoming news on PS4 and PS5 exclusive God of War Ragnarok. The next action adventure starring Kratos and BOY! is one of this year’s most eagerly anticipated PlayStation games, and will follow on the story from 2018’s critically acclaimed hit game directed by Cory Barlog. It has already been confirmed that God of War Ragnarok will have a release date in 2022 but so far Sony hasn’t announced exactly when the Sony Santa Monica game will land on PS4 and PS5.
But it looks like an announcement could be days away with reliable leaker The Snitch hinting at an upcoming announcement.
The Snitch has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the most reliable leakers around, after correctly leaking a tonne of news this month.
The Twitter user correctly leaked the full line-up for the Sony State of Play held earlier this month which unveiled Resident Evil 4 Remake, gave an update on Street Fighter 6 and more.
If that wasn’t enough, The Snitch has correctly leaked plenty of other big bits of news for June – including Hollow Knight Silksong and the Persona games coming to Xbox Game Pass, the release date for PS5 exclusive The Last of Us Part One and also revealing the Crisis Core remaster for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and Steam.
And this week The Snitch has hinted towards another announcement, this time for God of War Ragnarok.
