No God of War fan, but...
Season 7 Reaction GIF by The Office

An action side-scroller is exactly what I was asking for upon hearing those rumors earlier this year, instead of basically God of War: A Quest For Booty/First Light/The Lost Legacy/Miles Morales.

I prefer that to Santa Monica wasting time on a full blown AAA sequel. I'd much prefer a new IP instead, they have been doing GoW since PS2 days, come on we need new ideas at some points.

Bigger budget Metroidvanias are always welcome. Sounds similar to Prince of Persia. I'd be fine if they used this chance to make a new IP though honestly instead of more God of War. Game will probably be pretty good though.

I'd be okay with that. I played the last two God of War games, and they almost didn't even feel like the same IP, lol. So, it'd be neat if this felt more like a return to form.
 
I love Metroidvania genre but a big part of what I love is platforming puzzles, which lends itself very well to Prince of Persia but not something God of War has ever been known for. So, we'll see. I'd be interested for sure.
 
2.5d Atreus game where the first half Kratos refers to him as BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and after the big trans scene the 2nd half he refers to him as THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

They have been working on a new AAA IP for at least 5 years now. So this 2.5D game will be a good switch up.
 


  • The project is basically GOW X Blasphemous
  • It's being developed under supervision of Sony Santa Monica
  • Set in Greece before Kratos becomes a God
  • Deimos will return
  • "Better art style than Hades"
  • Mega Cat Studios (FNAF: Into The Pit) could be involved in the development.

God of War has never been known for platforming puzzles? Tell me you never played God of War without telling me you've never played God of War.

Also:

GAF: Sony should do more AA games
GAF: LMAO @ Sony doing AA games

bet you this spinoff will come out on Switch 2 as well.

Cannot see this happening unless Sony considers Switch a different market in the same way PC is.
But with Switch 2 Nintendo returns to competing with the more traditional consoles by bringing big third party games to their system.
With PS5 sales still going strong, Sony doesn't have to do what MS does, they don't have to release anything on competing platforms.
