— Rino (@RinoTheBouncer) June 18, 2025Rumours are circulating about a new God of War project, which could either be a full sequel or a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game set in Ancient Greece. This would shift away from the Norse mythology explored in recent entries. Santa Monica Studio’s last major release, Ragnarök, followed the 2018 reboot and was developed over four years. This timeline suggests that a reveal in 2025 would align well with their typical development cycle. Another anticipated title, Saros by Housemarque, may also be in development.
According to The Verge, PlayStation’s State of Play events are usually finalised just before the broadcast, making leaks unreliable. After its launch, the support provided for Ragnarök suggests that a new project is possible, but plans could change. The absence of official confirmation highlights the importance of caution, as leaks can be misleading.
