God of War Sequel Update: Kratos Actor Teases Next Game and Reveal Timing
The new God of War game could be revealed as early as this summer, according to Christopher Judge, the voice and motion actor for Kratos in Sony Santa Monica's recent titles. This exciting news comes amidst a busy period for the franchise, including announcements of remakes and a surprise 2D metroidvania release.
Christopher Judge's Hint at Summer Reveal
Speaking to a fan at the recent Fan Expo in Vancouver, Judge hinted, "You'll be hearing about what we're doing probably late summer." This suggests that information about the studio's next project, likely a sequel to God of War Ragnarok, is imminent, despite its absence from last week's State of Play event.
Separate Projects: Sequels and Remakes
The project Judge refers to is distinct from Sony Santa Monica's work on remakes of the original three God of War games. In those remakes, Kratos will be portrayed by TC Carson, reprising his role from the classic titles. Judge, while not involved in the remakes, has shared insights, mentioning a new fighting system and new technology for the reboots, though it remains unclear if they will adopt the over-the-shoulder perspective of newer releases.
Rumors and Future Directions
Sony Santa Monica has remained silent on whether Kratos's journey will continue past Ragnarok, but the game's open-ended story leaves room for both Kratos and Atreus to explore separate paths. Rumors speculate that the next adventure could shift from Norse mythology to Egyptian or see a return to Greece, though nothing is confirmed. With Judge's tease and ongoing developments, it's clear that Sony Santa Monica has ambitious plans for the God of War series, with more details expected later this year.
