Today U.S.-based retailer GameStop revealed a new special edition for the upcoming God of War by Sony Interactive Entertainment Santa Monica Studios.

The edition is called "Stone Mason Edition," and it includes quite a few goodies on top of the game. We get a 9" Kratos and Atreus Statue by Gentle Giant. a limited steelbook case, a pair of 2" Huldra brothers carvings, an exclusive lithograph, a cloth map, the Stone Mason's ring, a Mimir's Head talking keychain, and a pair of  2" horse and troll carvings.

Digital contents are also rather solid, including the Defender of the Chosen shield, the Death's Vow armor set, the Exile's Guardian shield, #0 of the God of War digital comic by Dark Horse, a mini artbook by the same publisher, and a dynamic theme.

You can check out a picture of the edition below. I don't know about you, but I feel that the release date for the game is going to be announced very soon.

If you want to see more about God of War, you can enjoy a recent trailer, a few images from a few weeks ago, a large bunch of info on the combat system shared last month, the latest gameplay presented at Paris Games Week, a trailer showing the Dead Giant Stone Mason (which apparently gives his name to this edition), another clip showcasing the enemy creatures named Revenant, a similar video focusing on the Draugr, and one showing off the fire troll.

At PlayStation Experience, we also heard that the game will be rather long, and will last between 25 and 35 hours. Incidentally, a few weeks ago a possible March 22nd release date was leaked on the North American PlayStation Store, but Sony did not confirm it at PlayStation Experience, so that remains a rumor.

The game will launch exclusively for PS4 in early 2018.
