Rumors are swirling around Santa Monica Studio, the creators of the acclaimed God of War series, hinting at a new, unannounced project. Glauco Longhi, a character artist and developer with a history on God of War (2018) and Ragnarok, recently updated his LinkedIn profile. His updated profile states that he's overseeing character development for a currently undisclosed project at the Sony-owned studio. This, coupled with the studio's active recruitment of new character artists and tools programmers, fuels speculation.
The nature of this mystery project remains unconfirmed, but whispers suggest a sci-fi setting. This aligns with previous comments from Cory Barlog, the creative director of the 2018 God of War reboot, who indicated the studio was working on multiple projects simultaneously. While a sci-fi IP, potentially helmed by God of War 3's Stig Asmussen, is a popular theory, it's currently unsubstantiated. Furthermore, Sony's trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" earlier this year adds another layer of intrigue, though the company hasn't elaborated. Past rumors of a cancelled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio further fuel the fire of anticipation. For now, fans eagerly await an official announcement from Santa Monica Studio to confirm these exciting possibilities.
