Rumors are swirling that a new God of War project set in Greece is on its way this year. This news comes just in time for the franchise’s 20th anniversary, sparking excitement among fans. According to gaming journalist Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb, this will be a new side story rather than a remastered collection of previous games.
The God of War series originally explored Greek mythology before shifting to Norse themes in the 2018 reboot. While director Cory Barlog has hinted that there weren’t plans for another trilogy following the Norse saga, the ending of God of War: Ragnarok leaves the door open for more adventures.
In a recent post on Bluesky, Grubb confirmed, “There’s still a Greek God of War thing coming out this year, but it’s not a remaster collection.” He also mentioned that there hasn’t been any information about a remaster and that more details might be shared during the franchise’s anniversary celebration.
Sony is gearing up for this milestone. They plan to release new in-game content for God of War: Ragnarok and even host a physical art exhibition. Players can also look forward to the free Dark Odyssey Collection, available starting March 20.
Interestingly, this announcement follows the recent news that Sony canceled two unannounced live service games, one of which might have been another God of War title. As for the company’s future projects, fans are eagerly awaiting titles like Ghost of Yotei, a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, and Death Stranding 2.
Historically, God of War has evolved significantly over the years. The original game released in 2005 set a precedent for action-adventure games, combining thrilling gameplay with a rich narrative drawn from Greek mythology. The shift to Norse mythology was met with critical acclaim, and players appreciated the deeper, more complex storytelling in the 2018 reboot and its sequel.
As this new chapter in the God of War saga unfolds, fans are buzzing with anticipation on social media platforms. Many are discussing what this side story might entail and how it will connect to the beloved series.
