Sony’s Santa Monica Studio announced that the next God of War game is in development with Kratos as the main playable character. The confirmation came during a panel for the upcoming God of War Laufey at San Diego Comic Con.
Santa Monica Studio head of creative Cory Barlog stated at the event that the new title will follow God of War Laufey and connect directly to its story.
God of War Laufey centers on Faye, Kratos’ late wife, and has no release date yet. Kratos appears briefly in its gameplay trailer from earlier this year.
The studio had previously indicated Kratos would return in future entries. The next game remains years away, with a God of War trilogy remake also planned in the interim.
