God of War Dev’s New Sci-Fi IP Has Been In Development For 7 Years

Expert Verified By

Santa Monica Should Be Ready To Share Something Soon!

Story Highlight
  • The God of War director is said to be working on a new sci-fi IP.
  • New reports reveal this project has been in the works for seven years.
  • It could be one of the big games featured at next month’s PlayStation State of Play.

Santa Monica Studio continues to be one of PlayStation’s most premium developers, releasing multiple critically acclaimed titles over the last two decades.

Following two massively successful new God of War entries, Santa Monica Studio was said to be working on a new IP alongside more God of War titles. As per new reports, it seems the former project has been in development for much longer than expected.

Why it matters: The Santa Monica team has yet to deviate from God of War in its 20 years of PlayStation history. Therefore, a new IP is a massive deal.

As reported by Jeff Grubb, PlayStation is set to skip a big showcase and host a State of Play later next month.

When discussing potential big games that could show up at this event, the reputed insider discussed Santa Monica Studios’ new sci-fi IP. For context, this project is being led by Cory Barlog, the same director who revitalized God of War in 2018.

As per Grubb, the game has been in development since 2018, with the studio likely begning to conceptualize the project immediately after God of War’s release on the PS4.

This also means that the new IP has been in development for a whopping seven years at this point. However, Santa Monica Studio has split resources between the various ongoing projects till now.

The sci-fi game that he’s been working on since God of War 2018. Maybe we get a teaser for that.
