It seems the next God of War game might be revealed sooner than we think. However, it may not be exactly what everyone would expect after the last two entries in the beloved PlayStation series.
The next God of War game is reportedly a metroidvania
In a recent X (formerly Twitter) thread from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, @GamerUPGaming asked if they would see the rumored God of War spin-off during the recently revealed PlayStation State of Play on June 4. According to Henderson, they believe it will be at the show, and that they’ve heard a lot of “scuttlebutt” about a 2.5D metroidvania based on the popular franchise.
“Hearing a lot of scuttlebutt about the 2.5D/metroidvania game or whatever it will be, yeah,” says Henderson. “Seems to be much smaller in scale than what I initially thought.”
Additionally, the original question also tagged Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who had also mentioned a God of War spin-off in the past. Grubb simply answered, “Yeah,” to the posed question.
Outside of that conversation on X, Blessing Adeoye Jr. of Kinda Funny predicted a God of War metroidvania would be shown during Summer Game Fest. A recent thread on ResetEra seems to believe he may have knew something about the game at that point. However, it should be noted that Kinda Funny has said in multiple prediction episodes throughout the years that their predictions are not based on inside information they already know or that isn’t already out there.
In that same ResetEra thread, user Thisiserfan claims they have collected some information regarding the project recently. They claim it is a cross of God of War and Blasphemous. While a specific developer isn’t named, Santa Monica Studio will supervise the project. Lastly, they claim it will be set in Greece before Kratos becomes a God, and that Deimos will return.
Henderson had previously reported that the next entry would return to Greece. At the time of those rumors, it seemed God of War would maintain its 3rd person combat from the past two entries. However, as Henderson said in his reply, this metroidvania project is much smaller in scope than he initially thought. This could be the project Henderson was initially referring to in that previous report.
