Cross launch or PS5 exclusive my estimate would be the latter since Sony cam sell a lot of PS5 consoles early with a megaton hit as God of War. A new god of war game will at least take 3 full years, this one took 5 years so my estimate would be early or late 2021. The new god of war game is going to be a PS5 exclusive, unless they can somehow easily port it to the PS4.

Cory rejoined SSM at the end of 2013, game started development after feb 2014 so 4 years..

According to this article SSM stated that the game was in development for 3 years on November 2016. So their might have been some pre work done on God of War before Corey got involved. Although it could very well be just building the engine.

Anywho if they want to release God of War on PS5 they probably need to update the engine again and God of War games are generally quite big, especially this one. So I really doubt the new god of war game can be developed in 2 years. The Dev team was approximately 3 times the size of GOW2 (ps2) is team and counted 270 heads. So I doubt they can speed the process by increasing the size of the team.
