A new God of War game could already be in development

It seems not to be a coincidence that in recent days it was reported that Naughty Dog is already working on a new installment of The Last of Us and that its multiplayer is in danger. It would seem that Sony's service games will be left in other hands, as well as innovative proposals, and in the case of studios recognized for their single-player titles, there will be no other way but to stick to the same thing. This could be Santa Monica's case.

A NEW GOD OF WAR GAME COULD BE IN DEVELOPMENT

According to a report from GameRant, Santa Monica has publicly expressed its interest in hiring personnel for its new video game, but the detail is that it would be the new installment of God of War. The above comes from a job vacancy in which a combat designer specialized in the use and interaction of companions is requested, just like what we've experienced in the current franchise storyline with Kratos and Atreus.

While the vacancy does not mention the franchise by name, the fact that it refers to the type of combat that has been the hallmark of God of War and God of War Ragnarök suggests that a new installment is in development and that Santa Monica could leave its new projects for another occasion.

It is known that God of War Ragnarök ended Kratos' Nordic arc, and although at one point the possibility of making a trilogy was considered, as happened with the story of the gods of Olympus, the Santa Monica team decided to make this sequel longer in order to end the story.

However, it seems that in the short term, it will be God of War or nothing for Santa Monica, and in that case, the good news is that we would see a new story with a narrative arc set in another space and time.

What do you think about this?
