A fresh take on the God of War universe? If you're still recovering from the emotional overload of God of War Ragnarök, news of another game will send an additional jolt through your system. Even though Santa Monica Studio has not said much yet, an industry insider has nevertheless stirred the pot by stating that a God of War spin-off is in development for PlayStation 5.
A new chapter in the God of War universe?
Unlike a remaster collection, it is actually going to be something new altogether, laying to rest the rumors that this would be just another rehash of the old titles. Grubb is relatively well-respected in gaming circles and has quite a good reputation for leaking scoops, but has been wrong before, so oftentimes. Afterwards, per his sources, the new game is expected to have a completely unique side-story like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, perhaps placed somewhere between a sequel and an expansion just as it will offer a full-fledged experience extending into the series' rich mythology.
Remaster or brand new-Either way, it's definitely being worked on
As suspicions fly of a possible remastering of the older God of War collection, Grubb explained that such a project is not on the table. Instead, a whole new chapter would be targeted, one that could have traces of Kratos's Greek past. Fans of the old God of War may well be treated to an exciting return from familiar territory but with an altogether distinct narrative spin.
Also key to note is the timing of this leak. Just days back, God of War Ragnarök received a surprise update to add a series of cosmetics inspired by the earliest God of War games. While this update might delight existing fans, there seems to be an insatiable hunger for new content from the community, and Santa Monica Studio is poised to feed it.
What could this new spin-off include?
While any specifics are being kept under wraps, just the thought of a God of War spin-off opens up a world of exciting possibilities. Would the game go back to Kratos' past, perhaps through Greek mythology, or will it focus on his son, Atreus? The latter seems a likely candidate, with God of War Ragnarök having introduced new enigmas concerning Atreus' heritage and future.
Whatever else the new game will bring, one thing is clear: Santa Monica Studio is set to expand the God of War universe in new and exciting ways. Fans waiting with bated breath for the next move in Kratos' saga won't have to wait too long for answers.
A new age for God of War fans
Although unofficial, the leak for the God of War spin-off has given hope that this iconic series will keep carrying on its journey on the PlayStation 5. If indeed the rumors stand true, Santa Monica Studio is about to offer yet another homegrown feeling, which could become something that would entirely alter the future of God of War. With no remaster announced, fans can only wildly speculate what exciting narrative twists and gameplay innovations the studio will include.
