nope not 3 to 4 years, I say Max 2 year, just because the first game took 3 to 4 years develop, its not necessary sequel will take the same amount of time. The majority of the development time goes behind researching writing a story, building a world, making assets from scratch and also building a new engine. Almost every sequel has a very fast turn around time and Sony Santa Monica is not a small studio. 

Take A look at Uncharted on Ps3 2007, 2009, 2011 only Uncharted 4 was exception to the rule coz of development issues, but that was offset by a year later with lost legacy. Same goes with Horizon zero Dawn frozen wild and Infamous First light both of them fairly big DLC but was released in the same year. 

So I wont be surprised if we see god of war 5 teaser along with HZD2 at next years PSX ready to launch with PS5

Lol @ max 2 years,then hzd2 needs to come out in begin of 2019,never gonne happen,and so wil gow.

you do realize HZD had a huge expansion at the end of 2017??? beginning of 2019 makes it just one year!.. again check the dates of any past direct sequels Watchdogs 2014 - 2016, Batman Arkham Series! the division! Forza! Gears! Insomnaic team who made sunset overdrive finished spiderman a new Ip in just 4 years coz they already had an engine. I can keep going! every studio as large as santa monica and guerrilla games are capable of churning out games in couple of years. 

To give you even more context, God of War really began its development in 2014, when their space sci fi game was cancelled and the studio was shifted on to god of war, before that cory had only 10 people who were drawing concept arts.  thats roughly under 4 years! Guerrilla games started horizon Zero dawn in 2011 and went gold in Jan of 2017, so 6 years, and in 6 years they also managed to develop Killzone Shadow Fall and had cancelled another project to work on HZD. 

Make no mistake sony will want these games as PS5 launch titles and 2019,2020 is perfect release window and development time to hit the launch. And I predict that the announcement of these games will be at the reveal event of PS5 and will release whenever the PS5 launches
