There Might Be a New God of War Game in the Works

A well-known leaker is suggesting that the next God of War game is already in development.

In some of my past stories, I’ve chatted about some cool gaming stuff, and you can find those links down below. But today, I wanna spill the beans on a juicy rumor that’s been making the rounds: word on the street is that the next God of War game is cooking up in the oven!

Hey, guess what? Word on the street, or rather, the internet, is that the folks over at Sony’s Santa Monica Studio are cooking up something new in the God of War universe. And who’s the messenger for this exciting tidbit? None other than a notorious leaker, of course!

Now, before we all get our hopes up sky-high about a new God of War game on the way, let’s remember that rumors are like that box of chocolates Forrest Gump talks about — you never quite know what you’re gonna get.

So, here’s the deal: The last game in the God of War series dropped in November 2022, and it absolutely knocked it out of the park, just like its 2018 predecessor. But here’s the kicker — Santa Monica Studio, the genius behind Kratos and his god-slaying adventures, has been super hush-hush about what’s next. Well, sort of.

You see, even before we got our grubby hands on God of War: Ragnarok, they were already out there on the prowl for fresh talent to work on an unannounced project. Sneaky, right?

Now, don’t jump to conclusions just yet. While the rumor mill is spinning, this mysterious game might not even be a direct sequel to Ragnarok. That’s what our trusted leaker, ViewerAnon, is telling us.

In fact, they’re not entirely sure if it’s a whole new game or a juicy piece of DLC for Ragnarok. If it does turn out to be a full game, they think Santa Monica Studio might go for what they call a “half-sequel,” something that keeps the gameplay vibes of Ragnarok, which was heavily inspired by the 2018 God of War.

Now, let’s talk about those Ragnarok DLC rumors. They’ve been floating around the web for a while now. But let’s be real, Santa Monica Studio isn’t exactly known for piling on post-launch content. ViewerAnon, however, thinks they might break that tradition this time around.

Why? Well, because the game development world is changing, my friend. AAA games are taking longer and longer to cook up, and studios need to keep that release pace going strong.

Now, here’s a buzzkill — even if we’re getting a new God of War adventure, don’t expect to be slaying gods and monsters anytime soon. We’re probably looking at a late 2024 reveal at the earliest.

Oh, and just to give you a sense of the scale of Santa Monica Studio’s operations, they’ve got about 400 folks on their payroll. That’s enough firepower to tackle a big AAA game or maybe even a few smaller ones. And guess what? Rumor has it they started working on another big project in 2022.

Some fans out there are crossing their fingers for a standalone God of War game featuring Atreus. Could you imagine guiding the young lad on his own epic journey? It’s a tantalizing thought, but we’ll have to wait and see what Santa Monica Studio has up its sleeves.

Final Words

So, there you have it, a tantalizing scoop on the next chapter in Kratos’s saga, straight from the rumor mill.

Whether it’s DLC for Ragnarok, a “half-sequel,” or something completely new, one thing’s for sure — the God of War universe isn’t going anywhere, and we’re here for every moment of it.
