Santa Monica Developing Another Project Beyond God of War Trilogy Remake — Reveal Expected This Year

Expert Verified By

Previous Reports Suggest That The Studio Has Been Working On The Project For 7+ Years!

Story Highlight
  • Santa Monica has another project to showcase for this year, seperate from God of War remake trilogy.
  • The title is led by Cory Barlog and has been rumored to be in development for 7+ years.
  • A reveal could take place during the summer season of video game showcases.

It has now been 4 years since Santa Monica dropped God of War: Ragnarök, seemingly ending the Norse saga. Now, the studio is working on several new projects, including a God of War trilogy remake announced at yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, alongside a new spin-off 2.5 side-scroller game that was shadowdropped after the event.

This may not be all that Santa Monica has to show for. Reliable insider reveals that the studio has another project to showcase, and it could be shown soon, sometimes later this year.

Why it matters: Santa Monica Studio was previously known for working on a single project at a time, but now, the developers are working on multiple other games.

In a new ResetEra thread, insider shinobi602 stated that the new God of War trilogy remake isn’t the secret project that Cory Barlog has been working on. Furthermore, he added that the announcement for the project is coming soon in the upcoming months, around the summer season of video game showcases.

It is notable to mention that the insider did add that the current schedule is for a reveal this year unless the release gets delayed or SIE decides on a shorter reveal to release window.

For reference, this new IP has been under development for more than 7 years now, and it’s a familiar IP from Santa Monica, and not a new one. Previously, Jason Schreier stated that this isn’t a new IP, but it will seem like it.

At this point, it’s just speculation what that project is, but it could very likely be a Atreus led God of War game. Kratos is already getting a trilogy remake so it would be the right move to give Atreus his own lead project. 

At the same time, it could be a title entirely unrelated to the God of War franchise. Whatever that may be, we hope to learn soon enough.
