Cory Barlog, the author of the success of the Kratos saga, has been leading the work on a new game for several years. There is no official name yet, but insiders claim that the game will bring a breath of fresh air comparable to a new franchise. The most popular theories suggest that Barlog may rework the series again, moving the action to other worlds – most often Ancient Egypt is mentioned.
An even more interesting piece of news is the release time. After Shinobi602, who pushed the premiere to 2028, another insider NateTheHate stated that the game could be released as early as 2027. He also noted that the official show will take place before 2027, and the release window is currently planned for this year. It is assumed that the announcement will take place in the summer of 2026.
If the forecasts come true, 2027 will be the "year of hits" for PS5 owners. In addition to the new Santa Monica project, another major exclusive is expected – Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Sony seems to be saving its strongest projects for the second half of the console's life cycle, and Cory Barlog will be one of the main architects of this success.
