At the recent State of Play event, PlayStation Studios introduced a new installment in the God of War franchise called Sons of Sparta. Additionally, they announced plans to remake the original trilogy. However, before these announcements, there were whispers about another game in the works. A trusted leaker has now shared further insights about this upcoming title.
New Game Insights
Earlier reports suggested that Sony was creating a sequel to God of War: Ragnarok, drawing inspiration from Egyptian mythology. However, a report by Wccftech indicated that a LinkedIn profile from a former employee at Sony Santa Monica hinted the game is a “franchise within the God of War universe.” Not long after, the well-known leaker, Nate the Hate, added more context to the situation.
Character and Gameplay Details
In a post on X, Nate the Hate confirmed that the new game will take place in the God of War universe, with Faye as the main character. Faye, who is Atreus’s mother and Kratos’s second wife, was first referenced in God of War (2018) but only appeared in the 2022 sequel. Since the character passed away before the events of the first game, it’s a bit confusing how she can be the lead in this new release. One possibility is that this game serves as a prequel to God of War (2018).
Release Timeline
The leaker also mentioned that gameplay will be different from the Norse God of War titles, like God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok, with a greater emphasis on action. An important point raised is that Sony plans to unveil the game this year, aiming for a release in the first half of 2027, assuming there are no delays.
Christopher Judge, the voice actor for Kratos, previously hinted at an announcement for the next God of War game in late summer. If this upcoming title is indeed the one he referred to, fans may only have a few months to wait until the first official reveal.
