Few action franchises have reinvented themselves as successfully as God of War. From its brutal Greek mythology roots to the emotionally layered Norse saga, the series has consistently evolved while keeping Kratos at its center. With millions of players following the journey across console generations, expectations around the franchise’s next move remain high.
Most recently, the universe expanded again with the release of God of War: Sons of Sparta, a side project that revisits an earlier era of Kratos’ story. The game’s shift toward a different genre and perspective has sparked mixed reactions among players. Some fans praised the nostalgic return to Kratos’ Spartan origins and the bold stylistic detour, while others felt the title’s shorter format and departure from the cinematic storytelling they associate with the series left them wanting more.
Now, attention is shifting back to the core series. Christopher Judge, the voice actor behind Kratos in the Norse installments, recently suggested that fans will “hear about what we’re doing later this summer”. While he stopped short of revealing specifics, the statement strongly implies that Santa Monica Studio is preparing an announcement related to the mainline future of the franchise.
No official confirmation has been made regarding what that reveal could involve; whether it’s a brand-new entry, an evolution of the current saga, or a completely new direction. However, Judge’s comment has reignited speculation that the next chapter of God of War may be closer than expected.
With late summer now circled by fans, the only question is what kind of war is Kratos preparing for next? Share your thoughts and stay tuned to VGNW for more updates from the gaming world. Follow us on X and keep an eye out for what comes next!
