- Insider states that the new God of War spin-off title is a 2.5D/Metroidvania game.
- Another insider backed this claim, and a reveal could potentially come at the upcoming State of Play.
- The Metroidvania approach worked quite well for Prince of Persia and will likely work for God of War as well.
Now that the Norse saga is finally over, many are speculating which direction the God of War franchise will head towards. Recent rumors have suggested that the next entry would be a spin-off title, much like God of War: Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus.
While details on the project are scarce, an insider has now suggested that the spin-off would be a 2.5D/Metroidvania game, much smaller in scale.
Why it matters: God of War spin-off titles have been amazing, telling more stories about the Ghost of Sparta. It’s been more than a decade since the last spin-off was released, and a new one is needed more than ever.
This claim comes straight from Tom Henderson, who previously revealed that a God of War spin-off title was in the works. Jeff Grub, another insider, has backed this claim in a reply.
Aside from this spin-off title, a remaster/remake of the original trilogy was also reported to be in the works. However, it’s been a while since that rumor sparked, with no further information to support the claim.
PlayStation has announced a State of Play for 4 June, ahead of the Summer Game Fest, so expect a few notable announcements from the gaming giant then. As such, the said God of War spin-off title could be unveiled there.
With regards to the metroidvania genre, God of War could really benefit from such an approach. Many doubted Ubisoft for making the new Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown a metroidvania game. However, they were proved wrong with the title’s immense success.
