God of War fans rejoice, it appears that a new title for this franchise is being developed. Apparently the news was let slip by the director of God of War II, while it seems that it wasn’t the time nor the place for this information to be made public. Cory Barlog, the director, told a panel at the PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas that Sony Santa Monica Studio is developing another God of War title.
When asked during the God of War Retrospective Panel, Barlog replied “Yes, we are making another God of War.” Since this information was made public, the studio tried backing away from Barlog’s comments.
Barlog didn’t provide any major details about this title except saying that it won’t be a prequel. While Barlog’s response first appeared on Santa Monica Studio’s twitter account, and was later pulled, IGN was present for the panel and reports that he did indeed make this statement.
Sony Santa Monica then tweeted “Don’t tell anyone what @corybarlog just said #PlayStationExperience #GodofWar” which may be a vague confirmation about the upcoming title.
It really wouldn’t surprise anyone if a new God of War title was being developed. It goes without saying that this is one of the most marketable franchises that Sony has and it would make sense to release a new title that would be compatible with PlayStation 4 as well. The last God of War title came out in March 2013, titled Ascension.
