According to a Sony source, over 1 million units of the PS 2 title have already been sent out to European stores in anticipation of big demand.

The game is expected to do well given that the original God of War has sold over 1.67 million copies in the US alone.

With all the other news, the game’s creator Cory Barlog revealed that there will be a completely original PSP version of the game, not just a re-worked one as with Prince of Persia Revelations.

"We're not gonna do a port", emphasized Barlog. "This isn't gonna be God of War I on the PSP, this is gonna be an all new adventure that ties into the overarching story. So if we go on to make a God of War III, the PSP [version] will tie directly into what we're doing in the overall story ... My big strategy for this entire franchise is that there's never going to be some solo, separated thing. Everything's going to deal with the overall plot."

There have also been God of War movie rumours.

"It's just like every other Hollywood thing, it can be in development", he warned, "But does it make it out development and actually get made into a film? I hope it does".
