God of War Spin-Off: Kratos' Brother Takes Center Stage
The game's protagonist, Deimos, offers a fresh perspective on the God of War universe, and the 2.5D Metroidvania-inspired gameplay promises a new and exciting experience. As the gaming community awaits the official announcement, one thing is certain: the new God of War game will be a fascinating addition to the series.
A new God of War game is reportedly in development, featuring Kratos' brother Deimos as the protagonist in a 2.5D Metroidvania-inspired game set in ancient Greece. The project, supervised by Santa Monica, is said to be a spin-off title and not a mainline installment, with an announcement expected this year.
The game's development is inspired by Blasphemous, and its smaller scope suggests it may be a stopgap release while Sony Santa Monica works on other projects. These include a new IP with Cory Barlog's team and a remastered Greek trilogy. Additionally, the developer is working on a live-action TV series adaptation of the Norse trilogy, which was delayed due to a change in showrunners.
Insider Gaming journalist Tom Henderson and fellow leaker Jeff Grubb have hinted at the game's 2.5D/metroidvania style, sparking both excitement and skepticism among fans. The genre shift is a significant departure from the series' usual formula, and fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, expected to be made during PlayStation's State of Play event.
The announcement of the new God of War game is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to learn more about the game's story, gameplay, and features. With its unique blend of Greek mythology and Metroidvania elements, the game is sure to generate significant interest and excitement among gamers and fans of the series.
