Tom Henderson and Jeff Grubb suggest a 2.5D Metroidvania-style God of War spin-off is in development, set in Greece before Kratos becomes a god.
The alleged God of War game that is said to be set in the Greek mythology is rumored to have had its release postponed to the year 2026.
no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.

Maybe their first crossgen game between PS6 and PS5?
I´m also expecting Cory´s new game to be crossgen at this point, while GT8 to be their first true next gen only game at launch.
Obscure
Everything will be cross generations. There won't be many games which will be just next generation only. As we move forward tech isn't going to give a huge jump when it comes to consoles. So why cut off part of your install base whom are easier consumers to target
We still see games being released on PS4. Sony might be looking at finishing strong going into PS6 with a lot of momentum. In 2026/2027
ND new IP
Sony santa Monica 2 games
Sucker punch 2nd team
Insomniac games wolverine and ratchet and clank
At launch of PS6 we may see Spiderman 3 day one with the console
How can this game be postponed if it was never announced to be launching in 2025? It hasn't been announced at all in fact.
ps6 has never been rumored for 26. lol. where do you get your 'facts' ? this gow game has not been announced either so no one expected a release in 25.
I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.
Exactly...
Even if this game exists it obviously never had a 2025 release date since we're halfway through the year and it hasn't even been announced yet.
Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.
mhh i dunno, i like the old games, but they were rly just one note.
still very fun tho
Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?
wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?
edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Former PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida saw God of War as a "problem" when he first played it, and advocated for its delay.
And it became one of my most favorite games of all time and I still like it more than the sequel.
Well if a game/movie/project needs fixing, especially something with the legacy that god of war does. Delay and fix it, don’t ruin the legacy by releasing crap.
Way to go.
Like Miyamoto famously said.
“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”
Not what I expected at all.
I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.
🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.
This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.
Actually sounds good as hell in my imagination. Definitely interested.
