Some people evaluating the game had accidentally posted their screenshots, and while some of them might have hinted at specific events, the majority were merely very attractive. Meanwhile, given how easy it is to find footage at the moment—some YouTube videos have millions of views—developers Santa Monica Studio have issued a statement asking everyone to be considerate of fans who don’t want the game to be spoiled, but also to try and stay off much of the internet for the next week. ‘You know, right now, I can definitely see the advantage of having only one installer on the physical disc.’ ‘SMH,’ Ragnarok producer Cory Barlog tweeted in response to the leak. Twitter is mostly just people stating stuff like “be careful, God of War spoilers are out,” but the real cesspool is YouTube, where folks with early copies are uploading entire fights and sequences of the game.

While previous leaks occurred earlier in the month, this latest batch is more larger and pertains directly to the game’s main, epic narrative.
