God of War III’s director of product development John Hight has revealed that Kratos’ latest blood bath cost a whopping $44 USD million to make.

"We are stamping discs now, so we’re effectively done, just got a couple of countries that we’re finishing up on this week, and we’ve spent $44 million on God of War III," Hight said, during a chinwag with Giant Bomb.

"Believe it or not, that’s right within budget."

All we can say is it was money well spent. Check out our review of God of War III here to see why.
