When asked why they decided to keep the story to two games, Barlog responded by saying, “I think one of the most important reasons is the first game took five years, the second game, I don’t know how long it’s going to take but I’m just going to throw out that it’s going to take close to a similar time to do this, right, and then if you think, wow a third one in that same, we’re talking like a span of close to 15 years of a single story and I feel like that’s just too stretched out.” Barlog continues:

The two directors discussed their history with the series and the feeling that comes with releasing such a huge title before the conversation moves towards the ending of the Norse Saga. YouTuber Kaptain Kuba conducted an interview with Eric Williams, the director of God of War Ragnarok, and Cory Barlog, director of God of War and creative director at Santa Monica Studios. Now, thanks to a recent interview, we have a better understanding of why Santa Monica Studios decided to ake the Norse Saga only two games. While it was exciting to finally get a look at the next chapter of Kratos and his boy (aka Atreus), the most shocking thing about the game was the reveal that this will be their last chapter taking place in Norse Mythology. At the recent PlayStation 5 Showcase 2021 event, fans got their first glimpse of in-game footage of God of War Ragnarok, the sequel to the highly acclaimed God of War from 2018.
