It would go on to win IGN's Game of the Year 2018 award, at which time the game's director Cory Barlog sat down with IGN to reflect on God of War's successes, development, and more. God of War saw huge PS4 sales success, and while it did not receive updates, it got several free post-launch updates, including New Game+ and Photo modes.
