History buffs can reportedly look forward to multiple mythologies appearing in the next God of War from Sony Santa Monica.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The unannounced game will feature elements from various mythologies rather than solely focusing on a single setting \u2014 such as the Greek and Norse sagas seen previously. That’s according to a new report by MP1st<\/a>, which specifically mentions Chinese and Japanese elements being in development. <\/p>\n

That same report also references online scuttlebutt over Mayan elements, too, though does not go on to verify this particular claim. Still, it sounds like there will be plenty going on in the next chapter of the God of War universe, which Sony is expected to unveil in the near future. <\/p>\n

Last month, notorious video game leaker NatetheHate claimed that the game would center on the character of Faye<\/a>, Kratos’ deceased wife played by Daredevil’s Deborah Ann Woll in God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/a>. IGN also understands this to be accurate. The leaker claimed that Sony’s current plan is to unveil the game this year, ahead of a launch in 2027.<\/p>\n

Previous whispers of the project have descibed it as more of an action-focused take on the veteran franchise, with a tease<\/a> by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier that the studio’s next project was “not a new IP but it might feel like one.”<\/p>\n

Had these leaks not occured, the game’s announcement would likely have come as a major surprise for God of War fans amid a busy time for the franchise. February’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast<\/a> included confirmation that Sony Santa Monica had begun work on a God of War Trilogy Remake<\/a> project, and there was also the surprise shadow drop of a side-scrolling spinoff \u2014 God of War Sons of Sparta<\/a> \u2014 that arrived to a mixed response<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The existence of another major God of War project at Sony Santa Monica makes sense, however, considering the fact it’s been nearly four years since the launch of Ragnar\u00f6k, Sons of Sparta was developed elsewhere, and the studio’s work on remaking the series’ classic Trilogy appears to be just beginning.<\/p>\n
