Sony Santa Monica has had a crazy year. From the confirmation of the cancellation of its rumoured sci-fi project right through to moving offices, the first-party outfit has definitely entered a new era. And we now know that, in addition to its various external projects, the organisation's working on a new God of War title under the leadership of industry veteran Cory Barlog. The question is: when will we get to see it?
It's been almost two years since the release of God of War: Ascension, and we're now fast approaching the franchise's tenth anniversary. To mark that occasion, the studio will be holding a "special anniversary celebration for [...] fans". While we're reading between the lines heavily here, it seems likely that we'll get our first look at the project during this event. "We're looking forward to [the party]," is all that honcho Shannon Studstill would say.
In a blog post on the forthcoming year, the aforementioned executive remained secretive about what it's got in store internally for the PlayStation 4, but did hint that the title will put a "major stamp" on the next-gen machine. We're expecting a reboot of kinds for Kratos and crew, and given this team's output over the years, we suspect that it'll blow your socks off when it's finally unveiled.

I'm ready for some GoW on PS4, oh yes!
I know people "hate" remasters...but I've skipped most PS3 games (sold mine a few months after launch in '06) so I would love a GoW 3-pack on PS4. (+ Beyond Two Souls, the FF and KH packs and Uncharted etc etc)
If I hadn't spend 500+ euros on RockBand and Guitar Hero+DLC on xbox360 or bought a Wii U and PS4, I would've gotten a new PS3. (and the fact a PS4 is only 50-100 euros more expensive than a PS3 over here)
I adore the God of war games, ascension was the weakest of them imo but I have high hopes for the next one
God of war 123 remastered please
Still thinks God of war 2 was by far the best one .
God of war collection please!! All remastered games on one disc for ps4, including the psp titles!! It would be great!!
Should be interesting to see if the team wil follow on from 3 . Let's hope so
Plus wouldn't buy remastered no need when I still got all of the originals . Just the same game so no point really
@AyeHaley Totally agree with the KH, Beyond Two Souls, and Uncharted's for remasters
I too would like a God of War Collection for PS4.
Wouldn't surprise me. Every God of War comes out in March, so they announce it this March with a teaser, gameplay trailer at E3, launch in March of 2016.
I remember beimg blown away by the first gow for ps3. I can only imagine the scale of the gods they will have on ps4. It will be amazing!!!
I'm hoping it's either a reboot or another sequel...still need to play the previous games though.
Man, I don't know what will Santa Monica Studio do to Kratos. After that ending in GoW 3, the phoenix thing and a look at the horizon thing... meh. What's next? Kratos is revived because of his curse as the "Ghost of Sparta"? And the gods forgave Kratos (except Athena) for freeing them of the curse that came from Pandora's box? Athena was killed by Kratos and she didn't really die... she said something about a higher level of being or something. Maybe? Hope is given to the souls that have been released from Hades but what'll they do about that? They're souls, really. Man if Santa Monica Studio plan to revive Kratos I just wish that the story will blow us away. GoW 3 is great but it's just sad to see Kratos go away like that.
@ReigningSemtex Yea... drop the multiplayer too please...
