Game news PS5: The creators of God of War on a new game written by a famous fantasy writer?

As a successful author and author of several books such as The Elantris, Fils-des-brumes or Warbeaker, Brandon Sanderson made fantasy his favorite genre and is now one of the most popular literary actors in the world. Necessary, when the american officially declares that he has been working on the creation of a new video game for several years, we are curious

… especially since it would be unveiled in 2022.

Excluded PS5 or Xbox?

Obviously, nothing more was needed for the hypotheses to flourish. After much debate, research and theories, the dedicated topic on Reddit poses two hypotheses : The first is that the game would be a PlayStation Sci-Fi exclusive and developed by Santa Monica, the studio behind the saga God of War. Cory Barlog would be involved in the project: As a reminder: It is the director of God of War from 2018 who has given up exactly his directing position to Eric Williams for the next episode Ragnarök. This suggests that he would de facto be working on a new project, possibly a new franchise as we know that Kratos’ next adventure will be the last in Norse mythology …

The other guessis that this enigmatic title is entrusted on behalf of Microsoft InXile Entertainment, the company to which we owe the wasteland. The game would take the form of a title in the steampunk universe planned exclusively for the Xbox series and directed by Brian Fargo (specifically the founder of Interplay, the publisher of the first Fallout and Baldur’s Gate).

Two rooms, two atmospheres. And it was without counting Brandon Sanderson’s latest statement …

A project that is wanted

It’s up to him website that the author has given in to some confidentiality. First of all, he claims that This secret video game is not an adaptation of any of its franchises, but rather a new IP specially developed with this famous partner

. And above all, he declares that it is so “From a video game company that many of you know” (Note that it is aimed at its original audience, the literary community, suggesting that the company would be known to the general public). Yet, This one here “Probably wouldn’t be the one we’re thinking about and the other either”. This contradicts the previous theories somewhat, unless it is a bluff.

It seems that way for the record Sanderson was approached by Square-Enix some time agoto make a new video game again. However, the negotiations would not have been successful: many believe that it was actually Forspoken, new franchise set in exactly a fantasy universe.

We imagine that over the next year we should see more clearly or at least we hope so.
