Who directed the 2007 video game God of War II?

Cory Barlog directed the 2007 video game God of War II.

God of War II continues Kratos's Greek mythological saga after he has become the new god of war. The story begins with Zeus betraying Kratos, setting up the warrior's attempt to change his fate with help from the Titan Gaia and the Sisters of Fate.

Barlog was a key creative figure at Santa Monica Studio during the game's development. He had also worked on the original God of War and later returned as creative director and director of the 2018 God of War. His work therefore connects the second major Greek-era installment with the later Norse-era reinvention.

David Jaffe directed the first God of War, which makes him a plausible but incorrect answer here. Stig Asmussen directed God of War III, while Shannon Studstill was an important producer and studio executive rather than the credited director of God of War II. The sequel was released for PlayStation 2.
