According to the latest rumors, the God of War spin-off will not be released this year. As well-known insider Jeff Grubb reported in a recent episode of the Last of the Nintendogs podcast, the game’s release has been internally pushed to 2026.
Little is known about the new project: the game will reportedly be a 2.5D metroidvania set in Ancient Greece. Judging by the rumors, the project is not on a massive scale, so fans shouldn't expect a complete overhaul of the gameplay formula introduced in God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök.
