- The next God of War will star Kratos and be set in Greece.
- This spin-off adventure will launch in 2025, according to Jeff Grubb.
- The remastered collection is also in the works and will be announced near the anniversary.
Only a handful of IPs have etched themselves in the history of gaming as Santa Monica’s God of War has. The mythological action series became one of the faces of PlayStation during its rise and helped the juggernaut attain its current status. Even decades after the franchise’s initial launch, it is an essential part of gaming culture.
Unsurprisingly, there has been much talk about the next game in the series, with many reports suggesting it may explore a different mythology altogether. However, if rumors are true, God of War is set to return to its roots, with Kratos taking the reigns once again.
Why it matters: Kratos is the driving force behind God of War’s success, so it’s nice to see his return assured.
While speaking on the GiantBomb podcast, insider Jeff Grubb revealed that a God of War side story will be released this year and star Kratos, the franchise’s protagonist, once again. Grubb says that this upcoming title will be set in Greece and will not be a main entry in the franchise.
Hence, God of War is getting a side-adventure spin-off that could be similar in size and nature to Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Previous rumors regarding the new entry in the God of War franchise stated that Kratos would be heading to Egypt, with the series getting a complete shift in scenery. That may still happen with the next mainline entry, but for now, the God of War will be going back to his old hunting grounds, in line with previous leaks.
Grubb also discussed the original trilogy remaster in the podcast, saying it won’t be revealed at the State of Play but near the anniversary instead. With a TV show also coming soon, God of War fans have a lot to look forward to, and this 2025 spin-off is just the start.
