Ryan opted into a non-answer for now, saying: &#8220;Sorry, I&#8217;ve got nothing to say about that today.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the non-answer may be disappointing, it&#8217;s not exactly unexpected. For a game that feels far off, a non-committal response is almost expected from the Sony camp. That, and the company hasn&#8217;t been shy in the past about mentioning its dedication to transitioning effectively into the latest generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we move towards the next-generation in 2020, one of our tasks \u2014 probably our main task \u2014 is to take that community and transition it from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, and at a scale and pace that we\u2019ve never delivered on before,\u201d Ryan&nbsp;<a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2019-11-07-sonys-jim-ryan-we-had-to-make-changes-to-deliver-our-ps5-dream&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2019-11-07-sonys-jim-ryan-we-had-to-make-changes-to-deliver-our-ps5-dream\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told GamesIndustry.biz <\/a>last year (as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/playstation-boss-wont-say-if-next-god-of-war-will-be-on-1845697305?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=SocialMarketing&amp;utm_campaign=dlvrit&amp;utm_content=kotaku\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kotaku<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>God of War for the PlayStation 4 was an experience led by Santa Monica&#8217;s&nbsp;Cory Barlog and it beautifully breathed a new life into a beloved franchise. With Kratos now firmly rooted in his role as a father, the PS4 exclusive was a massive hit with a thrilling story and unforgiving combat. It was such a success, that fans were immediately clamoring for DLC or to learn of a sequel, and now we know one is on the way and slated for a 2021 launch!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the story concludes between Kratos and Freya.
