PS4-exclusive God of War has an April 20 release date. Though this hasn’t stopped some retailer from selling the game early. According to a post on Reddit, the game has been on sale. A Redditor by the name of kemar7856 posted pictures of the game — both back and front on the r/gaming subreddit. Considering some God of War reviews are already out based on retail copies floating in the wild, this doesn’t come as much as a surprise. Though images from kemar7856 seem to suggest its a Canadian copy of the game given the use of French on its cover.
This isn’t the first time a Sony game has released early. In the past, high profile exclusives such as the Shadow of the Colossus remake, Uncharted 4, No Man’s Sky, and Ratchet and Clank could be purchased well ahead of their release dates, at times almost two weeks before their official release.
If you were expecting India to get copies early, this doesn’t seem too likely. Reason being, before release most games tend to be extremely expensive for even the most enterprising of retailers to bring in. Though given Sony’s recent track record in the country with games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Shadow of the Colossus, we won’t be surprised to see grey market copies at a lower price weeks post-launch.
Furthermore, if you’re looking for a copy of God of War in India, it should hit stores on release day. Unless of course Sony pulls another logistical snafu as we saw with Horizon Zero Dawn which was delayed by nine days and Shadow of the Colossus that was delayed by over a week.
