Rumors are swirling thatGod of Warmay finally return to Greek mythology.While Kratos' adventures in the world of the Norse gods have been well-received by fans and critics, nostalgic enthusiasts have long requested that the series return to its roots and delve even deeper into the Ghost of Sparta’s war with Olympus. Despite rumors that Sony Santa Monica would release a remaster of the original Greek mythology games to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, fans are now hoping the latest round of reports is more accurate.
Over on Bluesky, reputable leaker and insiderJeff Grubbclaimed thataGod of Warside-story set in ancient Greece is slated to release in 2025.Grubb doesn’t go into any further details beyond acknowledging that his source previously said that a reveal would happen to coincide with the franchise’s anniversary: That happened to bethe Dark Odyssey Collection updateforGod of War Ragnarok, an announcement that left many fans disappointed. As with all rumors, it’s worth taking this with a grain of salt until PlayStation or Sony Santa Monica officially unveils the alleged project.
A Return To Greece Would Be Great
Even If It Is A Smaller Game
Given the popularity of the classicGod of Wargames, it stands to reason that Sony would want to provide the community with a chance to once again explore ancient Greece. With PlayStation’s upcoming line-up of exclusive games looking a little sparse, aside from a few heavy-hitters likeGhost of YoteiandDeath Stranding 2: On The Beach,having a smaller game to pad out the release schedule for 2025 would be a good move.If the rumor does turn out to be accurate, there’s a good chance the project is much more focused than something likeGod of War: Ragnarok.
Perhaps the most likely strategy for a Greek-setGod of Warside-story would be to take a similar route toMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.A spin-off that reused many assets of its predecessorMarvel’s Spider-Man, the game was much smaller in scope but introduced plenty of new mechanics and an original story to set it apart from the original experience. It’s not impossible to imagine Sony Santa Monicarepurposing some elements ofGod of War: Ragnarokto create a unique adventure.
A God Of War Sequel Could Be In The Works, And I Know The Perfect Mythology For It
God of War allegedly has another title in the works and after the end of the Norse Saga, there is one mythology perfect to move onto.
But Greek Mythology Is Especially Fun
As much as I enjoyedGod of War’s Norse Saga,I’ve always found theGreek games to be more enjoyable.They tell far less complicated stories that, in some respects,haven’t aged all that wellbutthe sheer scale of the world and enemies was unmatched. With some tweaks to the combat to make it a little more diverse, it would be a joy to once again battle the Olympians.
