Rumor: God of War III for the PS3 out by 2009?

Getting all pumped up for the latest installment of Sony‘s God of War franchise for the PlayStation 3? You may want to cool your jets, given that a recent rumor indicates we’ll be waiting for the long haul.

Details are available in the full article.

A few days ago, God of War II director Cory Barlog was in the news following his departure from Sony. Among other details, Barlog’s bombshell of the day was that the studio was indeed working on God of War 3 for the PlayStation 3.

We imagine you’re asking: when does Sony expect to see Kratos’ third ballad of blood hit the store shelves? According to a company insider, the game wouldn’t be out until Christmas 2009. That’s close to two years of waiting for us if this speculation proves true.

We advise the readers to take this bit of speculation with a pinch of salt until we can pick up more related info. GoW director David Jaffe did state in a previous interview that he’ll be meeting with GoW III‘s current story team this February. Hopefully, more details will be revealed by then.
