Between rumors of a remaster and a 2.5D side-scroller that never materialized, the God of War franchise has been pretty quiet since 2022’s Ragnarok. However, its next project is very much in the works, and according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier on ResetEra, Cory Barlog is back in the director’s seat.
Calling it Sony Santa Monica’s “next big thing,” Schreier said, “Last time I spoke to anyone about it (a month or two ago), it was going well.” Whether this is the next mainline God of War, the rumored Metroidvania spin-off, or something else entirely is unknown.
At any rate, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb reported that the next title in the acclaimed action-adventure series has been internally delayed to 2026. That could mean a reveal by the end of this year, though Sony has yet to officially confirm a new game is in existence.
Stay tuned for more details in the meantime. God of War Ragnarok is available for PS4 and PS5 – check out our review. It’s sold over 15 million units as of November 2023 and received numerous updates, including the free Valhalla expansion.
