A new God of War may already be in development, and Cory Barlog is at the helm again. This was reported by an insider considered reliable in PlayStation matters.
If the information is confirmed, this will be an important return of a key figure in the series and may mean the cancellation of a new franchise that Barlog has reportedly been working on in recent years.
We are talking about the creative director of Santa Monica Studio, Sony's internal team responsible for the franchise. It was Barlog who rebooted the series in 2018, changing the tone, narrative, and combat system.
The rumor arose after a discussion on X: user JorRaptor suggested that Barlog is working on a new project in the God of War universe. Insider Shpeshal Nick replied briefly: "He is." Without details, but as a direct confirmation.
If this is true, Sony may focus resources on its strongest franchise, abandoning risky new brands. After the finale of God of War Ragnarök, a possible transition to Egyptian mythology is being discussed, but this is just speculation. There is no official confirmation yet.
