One month before the release of one of the biggest Sony exclusives of the year, the details surrounding the much anticipated God of War keep on coming. Recently the game director, Cory Barlog, told GameInformer that some bosses in the game will be optional, which suggests that the adventure is not as linear as it used to be; it seems that the developers decided to offer players the choice to explore alternative paths.

He also provided details regarding the evolution of the character, the health bar, and the ability to jump. In God of War on PS2, Kratos poured his anger into air combos that are no longer set to feature, but Barlog emphasised that the players won't miss the ability.

The game is due out on PlayStation 4 on March 20, meaning there's little more than a month left before our questions get real answers.
