Santa Monica Studio has announced it will not be producing a follow-up to its Raising Kratos development documentary that focuses on God of War Ragnarok. Confirmation comes from the developer's Twitter account, where it responded to a tweet that claimed such a documentary actually is in the works.
Twitter account Millie A (@millieamand) — which has posted questionable rumours in the past — tweeted that "Filming took place during the development of #GodofWarRagnarok that will cover the pressure to follow up on God of War, the impact of Covid and more". They said the footage will be part of a "full-length feature" similar to Raising Kratos. Santa Monica Studio responded very simply: "There is no documentary in the works."
Instead, the team sees its weekly development diaries as the "look into development for GoWR". At nearly two hours in length, the Raising Kratos documentary for God of War presented a phenomenal look behind the scenes that's still considered to be one of the best deep dives into development to this day. While a lengthy look at the production of God of War Ragnarok would have been welcome, we imagine a lot of it would be recordings of Zoom calls and file transfers at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gutted! Finally watched Raising Kratos a week last Thursday and it got me even more excited to start Ragnarok (when that didn’t even seem possible prior to me hitting play on YouTube). Best gaming doc I’ve seen.
That's sad ...Raising Kratos is not only an undeniable masterpiece but also refreshingly transparent by industry standards. I rewatched it recently and was blown away and hooked all the way through yet again.
This from the same woman who claimed Sony cancelled a showcase because of the Activision deal lol.
Raising Kratos was a amazing, still cant believe the showed actual concept art for the canceled Stig Asmussen game. Sad a follow up isnt happening but I purposely avoided the dev diaries for spoilers so I guess that will have to do
This does suck for people not wanting to watch the weekly dev diary episodes.
Cool.Kratos the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑.word up son
A shame. Raising Kratos was magnificent, both highlighting the hard work that has to be put in to make a game like this and the devs themselves.
Raising Kratos is just a glorified BTS that used to be on disc with most GoW games and the weekly dev diary are soulless PR videos!
