According to a screenshot of the LinkedIn profile of a former senior writer at Santa Monica Studios, the writer was involved in the narrative conception and creative direction of “a new series within the “God of War” universe.” Although the relevant personal files are currently unavailable, screenshots have been shared on the ResetEra forum, causing discussion among players.
The screenshot mentioned: “Help shape Sony Santa Monica Studio‘s narrative vision and creative direction for a new series in the “God of War” universe.” This news echoes what reporter Jason Schreier said earlier. He once pointed out that Santa Monica Studios’ next work will be led by Cory Barlog, who has long been involved in the development of “God of War”. Although it is not a new IP, it may give people a new feeling in terms of experience.
Further strengthening the relevant news is the whistleblower Ashhong. This source, who has accurately disclosed information about “God of War” many times in the past, pointed out that the new work will be an action RPG, and the style may be similar to the Nordic works in recent years.
There are multiple indications that this sub-series is expected to be launched in 2027 and may be set in the long-rumored region of Egypt. The news also indicates that the work is expected to be officially released at a game launch event this summer. As for the protagonist, it has not yet been confirmed whether it will be played by Kratos, Atreus, or a new character.
As for the next step in the main series, news indicates that the new mainline game will return to the Greek setting and is expected to be launched during the PlayStation 6 generation.
