God of War, is one of Sony’s biggest franchises as it has sold around 22 million units since the first game launched in 2005.
This past Playstation Experience, Cory Barlog, creative director of God of War 2 has confirmed that they are working on a new God of War game. Though no details were revealed other then that the game will not be a prequel. The game is still heavy in development as Barlog has announced that they Santa Monica wouldn’t show the game for another “year or two”. This could range from us getting our hands on the game from 2016 to 2020. The game is still a while away though Barlog did reveal that he was working on something “freaking huge” in the past year which could mean his work on the new God of War game.
The last God of War game that was released was “God of War: Ascension” in 2013. This was a prequel to the main series and it was a critical success though disappointed it’s commercial success as the game. Ascension was the first game in the series to also include a competitive multiplayer mode. With a movie adaption in development as well, could we see the next installment in the God of War series releasing alongside the feature film? We’ll have to wait and see in the next couple years.
The next entry in the God of War series is currently in development though no release date was given.
