We know that Santa Monica is working on a brand new license, but new elements also seem to confirm the development of a God of War sequel.
After the excellent reboot of God of War and Ragnarok, which marked the end of Kratos’ adventures in Norse mythology, everything indicated that Santa Monica wanted to move on. In the end, however, it seems that the renowned studio is finally working on two new games at the same time, including a sequel dedicated to the God of War.
Is a new God of War adventure being written?
When Cory Barlog, director of 2018’s masterful God of War reboot, announced his return to the helm of a project in Santa Monica (but also the excellent Bear McCreary for the music), fans prayed to the gods of all mythologies that there would be a sequel. However, it was later confirmed that there was talk of a completely new license, this time involving a sci-fi RPG. However, hope is reawakening for Kratos fans as new positions are opening up at the talented studio.
He is actually recruiting a “senior heroic combat designer.” This position requires experience in ” Third-person melee action role-playing game “. To add grist to the God of War mill, the offer states that preference will be given to candidates. Be familiar with God of War Ragnarok’s combat design options, systems, mechanics, and enemies
There will soon be no rest for Kratos and Atreus
As a reminder, Santa Monica is also recruiting staff for its new license. But the offers for this require completely different qualifications. It therefore seems that the studio has a lot of work to do in the future, as it is obviously working on these two fronts simultaneously. We are therefore watching with great interest, on the one hand, the new sci-fi RPG that Cory Barlog is preparing for us, and on the other hand, what awaits Kratos and Atreus in the more or less near future. Until then, remember that the PC port of God of War Ragnarok will be released on September 19. The opportunity for the PS5 exclusivity to give us an even stronger paternal and graphic blow.
