Over an hour of broadcast time gives Sony room for major announcements, and Kratos fans have long been waiting for a sign from the team. Insider Shinobi602 noted that Santa Monica's appearance at the show would not be a surprise. Although he clarified that his words are not an official confirmation of the show, such a scenario seems very likely. Sony needs a powerful boost to fill the release schedule for the second half of 2026 and the end of the PS5 generation (2027/2028), and Santa Monica is one of the strongest teams.
Speculation has divided fans into two camps: the first is waiting for a God of War spin-off about Greece, the second is a new ambitious franchise that Santa Monica has been working on for several years, possibly in a science fiction setting. If the rumors are true, the show could become one of the most important announcements of the generation.
