What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

So far only Polygon has run it, but that's a newsroom that checks what it publishes. God of War came out in 2005 and never left: that's 21 years of turning up in every conversation about it. The previous God of War trailer came out 22 days before this story. This just came out and people are already talking.

Bottom line: You can treat this as firm, just keep an eye on updates.
