Barlog's new game for Santa Monica Studio has long been discussed by fans. The developer has been working on a fresh franchise for several years. Now there are signs that the project is related to the studio's flagship series – God of War.
Previously, there was a rumor that the studio is making not a new numbered part, but a game that expands the universe. ResetEra users noticed that one of the writers indicated an unannounced project on LinkedIn. According to the latest data, the release is scheduled for next year. This coincides with information from insider Shpeshal Nick.
The employee hinted that Santa Monica is going to turn God of War into a franchise. The official announcement is expected during the summer presentations. The game, scheduled for 2027, will offer new stories, heroes, and original lore.
