Recently it was announced at the Sony PS5 conference that God of War, the hit game of 2018, will have a sequel planned for 2021. But it seems that a clue had been sown on twitter well before that, more than a year ago.

God of War Ragnarok on PS5 secretly teased for over a year

The God of War: Ragnarok trailer was unveiled at the end of the PS5 conference as a "one more thing". It's a 60 second video where you don't see any image of the game or the character, but only a drawing forming and a sentence appearing: "Ragnarok is coming". However, it seems that this isn't the first time this sentence is revealed to the public.

This announcement had already appeared on Twitter in the eyes of everyone without anyone noticing it. It's nothing new for influential personalities to have fun sowing very discreet clues on the Internet through various means, as Phil Spencer was able to do with the Xbox Series S. This time we're talking about Cory Barlog, the creative director of the Santa Monica studio and director of the latest God of War, a Twitter regular who regularly shares information about life at the studio and what's going on.

In April 2019, almost a year and a half before the PS5 conference, the same Cory Barlog had shared in the form of a Twitter thread, a whole bunch of anecdotes about the realization of the first God of War on PS4. In addition to the opportunity for him to reveal the other side of his studio set, it turns out that it was also an opportunity to announce the beginning of the development of God of War: Ragnarok.

Indeed, he organized his thread in the form of a well concealed acrostic which, if one takes the first letter of each of the tweets of the thread in order, reveals the sentence "Ragnarok is coming". Too busy with the fascinating anecdotes that Cory Barlog was revealing behind the scenes of God of War, no one would have discovered this phrase, or at least, no one would have relayed it until very recently.

Someone spotted it but nobody paid attention of it:
