Christopher Judge, the voice actor for Kratos in recent God of War games, has confirmed he will not reprise the role in the upcoming Greek trilogy remakes. Instead, original actor T.C. Carson will return. Judge hinted at news on his next project with Santa Monica Studio coming late summer.
Sony Santa Monica Studio announced remakes of the original God of War Greek trilogy during a State of Play presentation last week, marking the franchise's 20th anniversary. The project details remain limited, but insights emerged from actor Christopher Judge at Fan Expo Vancouver 2026.
Judge, who has voiced Kratos since the 2018 God of War, stated he will not lend his voice to the remakes. "I have zero involvement with the original games and what they involve. Full stop," he posted on X on February 19, 2026. He confirmed T.C. Carson will reprise the role, adding that the remakes will feature a new fighting system.
During the event, captured in a now-deleted video by streamer Fuzhpuzy, Judge teased future developments. "You'll be hearing about what we're doing probably late summer," he said, referring to work with Santa Monica Studio. However, his X clarification emphasized excitement for other projects, not necessarily tied to God of War. "As much as I would love that everything I do in the future would involve SSM and GofW, I have other projects that I am super excited about. More info this summer," Judge wrote.
This follows the 2022 release of God of War Ragnarök. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier previously noted the studio's next major project, led by Cory Barlog, is not a new IP but might feel like one, dismissing sci-fi rumors. The remakes align with ongoing franchise activity, including the recent spin-off God of War: Sons of Sparta and an upcoming Amazon TV series.
