Development is suggested to already be underway, while Santa Monica Studio is continuing to work on the God Of War sequel, which is still yet to receive a confirmed release date outside of its 2021 launch window.
It was originally announced as a closing reveal for the PS5 Showcase back in September last year (2020). Little of the project is known outside of a title revealed at the time.
The original PS4 reboot of God Of War has also received some enhancements for the PS5. Santa Monica Studio has incorporated DualSense capabilities such as feeling the power of Kratos’ shield, while also ensuring game saves can be carried over with a new 60 frames per second mode.
A God Of War prequel comic is also expected to drop in March, which aims to bridge the gap between God Of War III and the PS4 reboot, seemingly merging the two story arcs together.
Kratos’ also joined Fortnite late last year (2020) as an unlockable character skin. It’s part of an initiative to introduce characters from existing IPs such as the Master Chief from the Halo series.
