Sony Santa Monica’s next game will reportedly feature Kratos’ wife as the main character

For years now, fans have been wondering what Sony Santa Monica’s Cory Barlog has been working on, with previous leaks and rumours suggesting that it would be a new IP in a Sci-Fi setting. As we get closer to the project’s supposed reveal, insiders have claimed that Barlog’s upcoming game is in fact still set in the God of War universe – but will instead focus on Faye as the main character.

As reported by multiple insiders, the next project set to be announced by Sony Santa Monica will in fact be another God of War game; albeit not starring Kratos.

According to Wccftech and NatetheHate, this new project will serve as its own franchise, though will not include Kratos nor Atreus as the lead. Instead, this new franchise will follow Faye – Kratos’ wife and Atreus’ mother – presumably prior to her death.

Narrative-wise, very little has been shared, with Faye herself being a pretty mysterious character throughout the events of God of War Ragnarok. With regards to gameplay however, the insiders have suggested that it would “differ from the Norse God of War games with more of a focus on action.”

While much of the project remains a mystery, we hopefully won’t have to wait long to learn about the game officially, with the current plan reportedly being a reveal this year, followed by its launch in the first half of 2027.

While many were hoping to see Sony Santa Monica take a step away from God of War (at least temporarily), Faye as a character presents the team with tons of opportunities to take the series to new and unexpected places.
