New God of War Game Rumored To Dump Kratos For DEI

by

A recent rumor suggests that the next God of War game, developed by Sony Santa Monica, might not feature Kratos as the main character.

So, I’m hearing through the grapevine – specifically from a user named NateTheHate2 on X – that the next God of War will actually star Faye, Kratos’ wife from the Norse games! Apparently, the gameplay is going to be a bit different too, focusing more on fast-paced action than what we’ve seen in the recent titles. It sounds like a really interesting shift!

What NateTheHate2 Claims

NateTheHate2 reports that the game takes place in the world of God of War and features Faye as the main character you’ll play as.

He adds that the gameplay will differ from the Norse God of War titles, with more focus on action.

He says Sony is currently aiming to show the game in 2026 and launch it in the first six months of 2027, as long as development stays on track.

Where This Started: “Cory Barlog’s New IP” Talk

The discussion started when a user on Wccftech shared that Cory Barlog’s previously hinted-at new game might actually be connected to the God of War series – potentially as a new franchise that expands on the existing story and world.

This aligns with previous reports from industry insiders, suggesting Sony Santa Monica’s next major game won’t be a completely original idea, though it may still feel fresh and distinct from their past work.
