The web is awash with GIFs of a new game from Sony Santa Monica, which will presumably be officially announced at PlayStation Experience this week. The animated images – which popped up on Twitter, Facebook, NeoGAF, and Reddit – appear to show a ballerina performing some dazzling moves on a dark backdrop. What could it all mean?
In truth we haven't got a clue. While we're expecting the first-party firm to show a snippet of the next God of War this week, it's worth remembering that the company works with various external studios, so these images don't necessarily have to pertain to its next internally developed title. Whatever this turns out to be, though, consider our interest piqued.

Most likely a psn game like journey. Though I do think a short teaser trailer for God of war ps4 will be there. Maybe a GOW ascension remaster that includes demo access as well?
Hmm... Interesting.
God of War: Dancing All Combo
Godess of war? I want a god of war but i don't want kratos. I always disliked him because he could someone be so mad all the time..
@Sanquine Same here. HULK SMASH.
Meh, could do without GoW honestly, would love to see them internally develop a new IP
@Sanquine I'm assuming you meant "how could he be so mad all the time". I mean how could he not, Ares did trick him into murdering his family, i'd be a little pissed too. Also the gods were douchebags, it's fun to watch Kratos tear them to shreds, but that's just me.
I like GOW from a gameplay perspective, but I agree, Kratos is a rather shallow and unlikeable character, ditch him.
@SonyInfinity I couldn't agree more. I wish Sony didn't make them cancel the game they were working on. They were working on a brand new IP which was some sort of open world science fiction RPG. It can't be nice for a studio to constantly make the same games over and over. Its also not like we need another GOW just yet either.
Hopefully not another God of War game , never been a fan.
I know it's a stupid question, but what is Playstation Experience?
@WARDIE Sony probably realized the science fiction rpg scene is fairly well covered at this point lol. I personally am not a big fan of GoW but I know it is a HUGELY popular franchise, and it's not like Sony milks it every year like a Forza or a CoD. For the fans sake there definitely needs to be a new GoW on the ps4, just hoping that they will release something new before or after the next entry of GoW. Honestly I would be surprised if they didnt, it's just that time and Sony is generally pretty smart about not over doing a brand.
Either way I want a vikings lore GoW or nothing, lol.
@RenanKJ Sony started it last year I believe at the end of the year. It is basically a game show in the same vein as an E3 or gamescom except it is funded and staged exclusively from Sony showcasing games only playable on their systems. Will surely be a lot of info on all the upcoming exclusives(horizon, nms, uncharted) along with second and third party exclusives and popular third party games that are being exclusively advertised by sony (cod for example). Last year's was pretty good and they save a few surprise reveals for it as well, essentially making it a mistake watch, or at least check up on the next day lol.
At this year's experience I expect a few reveals, info on horizon, nms etc along with new third party deals for the future.
@SonyInfinity I just hope its not based on Greek Mythology again. If they base it on something else like Viking lore etc I might give it a go. Whatever theme they go with we can be sure it will look amazing in regards to graphics. Sony Santa Monica always do an amazing job in that department.
@RenanKJ It's basically PAX for PlayStation fans. There'll be a press conference on Saturday morning so check back for some fun announcements.
I hope Sony finally announce a price for PSVR. I also hope the price isn't something ridiculous. I know this is wishful thinking but I hope its no more than £199. If its priced at £299 I think it will struggle to sell. Only the fans of VR, the hardcore and those with deep pockets will be buying at launch if its too expensive.
If it has a good amount of games and comes with a select few a might pick it up on release. But those games need to be really good if im going to part with £199-£299.
@get2sammyb @SonyInfinity Thanks, guys! Is there some kind of streaming video?
Fairly certain that on the ps4 "live events viewer" it will be streamed. So basically anyone who has a ps4 can watch it as long as you have an Internet connection.
@RenanKJ While @SonyInfinity is absolutely correct, you'll also find a livestream with live chat and live blogging on Push Square. JUST SAYING!
@get2sammyb @SonyInfinity Hahaha! Nice, Sammy! I'll on Push Square, probably; wanna read your impressions.
I hope God of War returns...so badass gameplay
What's the time of the Game Awards show and the PS experience conference?
Psx would have been the perfect place to launch home on ps4. So much potential. I seriously think home was meant to be a now current gen title, the connectivity is all there. Maybe there sky high promises and ideas could have been envisioned on ps4. I always envisioned home taking over as the ui of a system. Well before I go into a long post about my hype/disappointment, bring on psx!
A non God of war? You got my attention. Hope it's as astounding as horizon was for us at e3.
Medievil? It's the first game I picture with those colors. Different studio if I recall, but maybe the ip got shuffled. It's all hopeful thinking at this point...
@Sanquine typy forgot what happened to him? Why wouldn't Kratos be mad. But they could have given him more character development. He's just Mr angry even in the prequels.lol
I wonder if it'll be in collaboration with a smaller studio? Either way, I'm intrigued! Bring on the weekend!
Heavenly Sword i can i only hope to see that happen.
