“To be clear, I expressed my disappointment in the first tweet,” the creative director said added a few hours ago. “Not advocating it at all. not the future I want as a gamer or developer.”

He continued: “It’s very disappointing. feel terrible for the team. This whole ordeal is incredibly stressful for all of us.”

The official Santa Monica Studio released a somewhat longer statement on Twitter and warned fans of spoilers.

“As we get closer to launch, it’s important to our studio to preserve the God of War Ragnarok experience for players who want to enjoy the game for the first time without spoilers,” the studio wrote.

“We ask that you be considerate of the many fans who do not want to accidentally see clips, gameplay or narrative spoilers, and do not distribute them more widely.”

The studio continues: “We do our best to limit the exposure of unauthorized footage and screenshots, but the reality is that we can’t catch everything.”

“For those of you who don’t want to risk seeing anything before launch, we strongly recommend turning off any keywords or hashtags related to the game until release day.”

“We appreciate more the support you have given us. We can assure you that the wait will be worth it to try the game for yourself when it launches in less than two weeks on November 9^thousand.”

God of War Ragnarok is coming out on November 9th for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. A must read everything we know about the game so far.
