Bruce Straley, former Naughty Dog director known for Uncharted and The Last of Us, apologized to Sony Santa Monica's God of War: Laufey team after telling Edge magazine he was 'not excited' about aspects of the upcoming game, despite praising its visuals as 'mindblowing.' The comments sparked backlash and unwanted attention toward the developers. Straley subsequently issued a public apology, clarifying his remarks brought 'uninvited and unnecessary negative attention' to the Laufey team and reaffirming his respect for the work Santa Monica Studio has put into the project.
