It seems like SIE Santa Monica Studios may have finally begun production on a newGod of Warentry based on a Tweet from one of their narrative animators. In the Tweet, narrative animator Kim Newman, included a picture of her in a motion capture suit and mentioned SIE Santa Monica Studios. There have always been rumors and purported news that thesecondGod of Warwas in development, but now it appears that this photo could be more solid proof, given Newman’s involvement with the first game.
Having said that, nothing has been confirmed or denied by SIE Santa Monica Studios or Cory Barlog, the lead director ofGod of War. The picture of Newman in the MoCap suit also doesn’t mean that the motion capture work she’s doing is necessarily for a newGod of Wargame. Not to mention thatcryptic Tweet that Cory Barlog sent outback in November teasing some kind of new game, so there’s no telling if the work that Kim Newman is doing in the photo is for that game and notGod of War.
To be perfectly honest, fans would love to see a new installment, and there’s already so many places a newGod of Wargame could take players in terms of its story and world.Not to mention the unending potential for Kratos' son Atreus, whose surface has barely been scratched in terms of character development.
God of Waris out now, exclusively for the PS4.
