Sony will launch a God Of War ‘facet story’ in 2025, based on a supply, because the sequence seems to be set to return to Ancient Greece.
The way forward for God Of War was left on an open-ended notice after God Of War Ragnarök and its Valhalla DLC, with no clear indication of what might come subsequent.
The ending of God Of War Ragnarök left open the opportunity of a separate journey led by Atreus, with rumours of a half-sequel, however different prospects have additionally been advised, like a pivot to Ancient Egypt or a return to Ancient Greece with a younger Kratos.
A brand new hearsay has given additional credence to the latter, claiming {that a} new recreation set in Greece will launch this 12 months.
The information comes from notable insider Jeff Grubb, who posted an replace on Bluesky after God Of War’s twentieth anniversary glided by with none information of a brand new recreation, or the rumoured remastered assortment of the unique trilogy.
Returning to his personal put up concerning the rumours of a remastered assortment, Grubb wrote: ‘Everyone retains asking about this, so I’ve tried to seek out out extra: there’s nonetheless a Greek God Of War factor popping out this 12 months, nevertheless it’s not a remaster assortment. It’s a brand new facet story undertaking.’
He added: ‘I used to be by no means informed a couple of remaster assortment, however I requested a supply concerning the rumours (that I noticed have been centered on a group) and so they informed me that nothing God Of War would occur on the State Of Play however one thing might present up on the anniversary.’
In the replies to the put up, Grubb clarifed this undertaking is a ‘online game’ which is ‘separate’ to God Of War Ragnarök, so it received’t be further DLC. He doesn’t have any info on when it might be introduced, however whether it is out this 12 months, the following possible chance is a future State Of Play or throughout Summer Game Fest in June.
The facet story description makes it sound like a standalone spin-off much like Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
The earlier hearsay round a return to Ancient Greece – the interval of the unique God Of War trilogy – advised it might revolve round a ‘youthful Kratos’ in a storyline about ‘the connection along with his father’, aka Zeus.
While this new hearsay doesn’t make any point out of it being a prequel or involving Kratos in any respect, it’s maybe the logical assumption, if true.
Kratos’ historical past has been fairly nicely lined in numerous prequels already although, between God Of War: Ascension and 2008 PSP recreation God Of War: Chains Of Olympus, so it’s tough to think about what new floor they might cowl.
The soar again to Ancient Greece does make some kind of sense after God Of War Ragnarök’s Valhalla DLC although, which featured a number of callbacks to the Greek trilogy.
Also, a brand new God Of War undertaking would fill a major hole in Sony’s 2025 launch slate, with solely Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Ghost Of Yōtei confirmed for this 12 months.
