It looks like Sony wants to release God of War III in its current financial year, so that means that we should be seeing it before March 2010. Most God of War games were released at the beginning of the year in Europe, so that would mean that God of War 3 will come out in February/March 2010. The Portugese version of Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM) reports that God of War III will come out in Autumn 2009 in Europe. Sony will announce the God of War III release date info during its E3 press conference.
