God of War 4 is easily one of the most anticipated games to come out in 2018. A cornerstone franchise for the Sony PlayStation, it was announced at E3 2016. Now, the game finally has a release date. According to the PlayStation blog, God of War 4 is coming out on April 20 this year, a mere three months from now (almost to the day). If you pre-order the game at a supporting retail chain, you will get three legendary shield skins. If you pre-order at a GameStop or EB Games, you’ll receive a Luck of Ages XP Tailsman, which gives you the following:
- Increase XP gain
- Increase Hacksilver gain
- Increase the ability to trigger Perks
To make things even better, there is a limited Collector’s Edition, Stone Mason and a Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.
The God of War 4 Collector’s Edition will retail for $129.99 and will include digital content, a nine-inch statue, and a cloth map, in addition to some other goodies.
The Stone Mason version of the game retails at $149.99 and comes with everything in the Collector’s Edition as well as a Stone Mason’s ring, Mimir’s Head Talking Keychain, Horse and Troll Carvings and a Defender of the Chosen Shield.
The Deluxe Edition is a step down from the others and retails at $69.99 and comes with additional items listed on the image.
God of War 4 is the first of many PlayStation exclusives to come out in 2018, which promises to be an incredible year for gaming.
