Santa Monica Studio

Santa Monica Studio is home to Kratos and God of War. Based in Los Angeles, the Western developer was founded within Sony Computer Entertainment just one year before the release of the PlayStation 2 and quickly landed on a major hit with God of War six years later.

Following this release, the studio created several sequels and spin-offs, excelling in cinematic gameplay that pushed the boundaries of visuals. It also inspired a wave of hack-and-slash games borrowed from the smooth and brutal combat system of God of War.

2018, the studio breathed new life into God of War through a soft reboot, introducing a new gameplay style and fresh stories. This game cemented the studio as one of PlayStation’s best teams in the modern era. For God of War and PlayStation, head over to the articles listed below.
