Sony’s God of War universe is expanding. A at Sony, whose profile on LinkedIn was briefly visible, listed a new franchise within the God of War universe among their projects before the post was removed. While details remain scarce, this development aligns with previous hints from industry insiders and suggests Sony is exploring fresh narratives beyond its established characters.
This isn’t the first time Sony has hinted at branching into new directions for the franchise. Last year, a post on Resetera referenced an interest in spinning off properties within the God of War universe, though no concrete details were provided. Additionally, reports indicate that Bluepoint Games, now defunct, had been working on a co-op spinoff centered around Atres before its closure. Whether this new franchise is related to those efforts or represents something entirely different remains unclear.
What Could This New Franchise Be?
The speculation has already begun, with some leakers suggesting a potential game starring Faye, the warrior from God of War (2018). If true, this would mark another significant shift for the series, which has traditionally focused on Kratos and his journey. However, without official confirmation, it’s difficult to say how much weight these rumors carry.
Sony’s Long-Term Vision
Sony has shown a willingness to reimagine its franchises, from the original God of War trilogy—known for its brutal combat and mythological themes—to the more family-oriented narrative seen in later entries. The series has also ventured into television with Amazon’s upcoming God of War show, further expanding its reach. Whether this new franchise follows a similar path or introduces something entirely novel remains to be seen.
For now, fans can expect more updates as Sony continues to build out its God of War universe. While the exact nature of this new project is still uncertain, one thing is clear: the series shows no signs of slowing down.
