If you’ll recall, late last month we gave you a look at the top 10 most expensive video game budgets of all time. Well, it seems that God of War 3 would have come in at a close 11th place according ot recent reports.

Director of production development, John Hight has said that God of War III cost the studio $44 million to develop. This may seem like a lot but according to Hight it was “right within budget”. He then went on to tell us that the work was done by 132 staffers, up from about 60 that worked on the previous title.

Since God of War III‘s March 16th release date is just around the corner we’ll have to wait and see if sales will top the budget.
