Not surprising
But maybe the real release date will be 2022

What about Monster Hunter Rise? It's got 36x less votes than God of War. I'd happily wager that Rise will sell over 15 million copies world wide, but it's only got 10 votes in this poll.

Monster Hunter World sold 16M in 3 platforms having way better visuals, online, etc.
Rise won't sell 15 million on Switch at all, will sell closer to (but more than) the 3DS Monster Hunter games, which sold around 4M. The best selling portable MH game was a PSP one that sold 4.9M. I bet it will sell between 5 and 8M copies.

yurinka man, I hope it's as you say. I'm not really interested in getting a PS5 for the time being, but if I ever get one a game like the previous GOW but better would be a system seller for me, althoug I wont be in a rush to get it. Bloodborne 2 or Persona 6... Let's just say I hope the system is more available by the time those release.

Well, I think the safest bet for Ragnarok is to think that it will be a 'more and better' direct sequel with no big changes, pretty similar to the previous one. Persona 5 was very successful, so I think it's a safe bet to think that some day they will release Persona 6. And Persona series are traditionally released on PS, so I think they will release it on PS5.

Regarding Bloodborne 2, I think From Software as of now is too busy with other projects and Miyazaki is tired of the soulsborne games. But I think a lot of people loved the first one, so I assume Sony will want a sequel some day. Who knows, maybe this time with Sony Japan more involved into the development, or with someone at From who isn't Miyazaki leading it and Miyazaki only overviewing it, or something like that.

I don't have sales, but I'd say Bloodborne was probably the biggest success of Sony Japan in terms of sales and reviews of the last generation. So if it's the case I assume that in the future they will want to go in that direction. It would be nice for them at least to release a PS5 version of the first one with 4K 60fps and shorter loading times.

Of course, because it's the best game and one of the most iconic games in gaming, also coming from the best gaming publisher.

First game was one of my fav last gen. This game was announced to hype the PS5 though and I reckon they knew from the start it would never release in 2021 imo.

I don't see this game coming till 2022 at the earliest.

GoW 2018 was shit

You are holding it wrong.
I'm not "replay it" kinda guy (ok, original XCOM's were the exception, that was 25 years ago), but this game is re-playable at least once in the NG+ mode.

Graphics is mind boggling, resolution looks way too high for a 7870 and they've dunked all everything from dynamic light effects to reflections and shades on top of it.

Gameplay is amazing. I can feel that goddamn axe, it's ungodly!
If you play it as stupid hack n slash, dunno, diablo style, that's not that type.
Get into choreography of GoW with your weapons, and, oh dear, GOTY!!!

I agree

This Ragnarock it's a classic early announcement
