- The LinkedIn page of a former Sony Santa Monica employee may have leaked a new one God of War spinoff project
- It is described as “new franchise within The God of War universe”
- This comes as a broader attempt by Sony to expand the franchise
The now-deleted LinkedIn page of former Sony Santa Monica senior writer Lauren Signorino may have inadvertently revealed a new God of War project underway.
As captured by users on gaming forum ResetEra, the section on the writer’s profile describing their time at the studio stated that they “helped shape the narrative vision and creative direction” of a “new franchise within God of War universe.”
Their work involved “developing characters, stories and original stories” with the goal of expanding “the recognized IP.” There are few details beyond this, although it is rumored that this will be directed by franchise veteran Cory Barlog and that it could be revealed in the next few months.
This is consistent with recent claims in Bloomberg’s Game On newsletter that Sony is working on “multiple sequels and spinoffs” in an effort to expand the franchise. According to the report the live service The God of War title in development at the now-defunct Bluepoint Games was intended to support this effort.
Sony clearly has big ambitions for the series and recently announced a remake of the original The God of War trilogy, which it says is “still very early in development.” Last month also marked the surprise release of God of War Sons of Spartaa 2D metroidvania prequel set before the events of the original The God of War game.
