Summary
A notable insider claims that Sony is gearing up to make an announcement related toGod of Warin the coming weeks. Several rumors surrounding theGod of Warseries have cropped up in recent memory, bringing to mind a lot of possibilities for this purported announcement.
God of Waris one of PlayStation’s longest-running franchises, with its most recent mainline entry,God of War Ragnarok, having launched just two years ago. The critically-acclaimed conclusion to the Norse saga set up moreGod of Wartitles for the future, but if recent rumors are to be believed, the series' formative Greek saga could be making a comeback.Remasters of the GreekGod of Wargamesare reportedly in the works at PlayStation’s PC porting studio Nixxes, and may be released next year to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary.
Industry insider Lunatic Ignus, the source behind the rumor of the Greek saga remasters, has now alleged in a recent tweet thatSony will make a “God of Warrelated” announcement this December. The insider is “sure” this announcement will either happen at The Game Awards or a potential PlayStation State of Play or Showcase. However, credible insider Jeff Grubb recentlyshot down rumors of a PlayStation event in December, leaving only The Game Awards for Lunatic Ignus' claimedGod of Warannouncement.
It’s Most Likely Too Early for the Next God of War Game to Be Revealed
There is some precedence for a potentialGod of Warannouncement at the 2024 Game Awards ceremony.God of WarRagnarok’sValhallaDLC was revealed at TGA 2023, so the prospect of Sony returning to the 2024 event in a similar capacity isn’t all that unfathomable. Additionally, it’s worth narrowing down whatGod of Warfans could expect from this supposed announcement. It’s quite unlikely that the next mainlineGod of Wargame, or even the rumored Atreus spin-off title, will be ready for a formal reveal right now. This leaves the alleged GreekGod of Warremasters as the likeliest candidate for an imminent reveal.
However, the rumors of the GreekGod of Warremasters have yet to be corroborated by other reputable insiders, which means they might not pan out either. There is one realistic course of action Sony and Santa Monica Studio could take to celebrateGod of War’s 20th anniversary next year, and that’s natively adding theGreekGod of Wargames to PS Plus Premium’s classics catalog. Most of the olderGod of Wargames can only be played on PS4 and PS5 via cloud streaming, so fans would no doubt appreciate the ability to play them natively.
