Cory Barlog, the veteran Santa Monica Studio director behind all-time PlayStation classics like God of War 2 and 2018’s God of War reboot, is toiling away on the studio’s “next big thing”.
We’ve known for some time that the developer has been plotting a fresh intellectual property, as Barlog stepped away from directorial duties on God of War Ragnarok, passing the baton to Eric Williams.
But in a brief update from Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, writing on the ResetEra forums, progress is going well on Santa Monica Studio’s new game.
He wrote in response to a fan query:
“Cory Barlog’s game is Sony Santa Monica’s next big thing. Last time I spoke to anyone about it (a month or two ago) it was going well.”
We’d assume this project has become the focus of the studio’s attention since it shipped God of War Ragnarok in 2022, so it’s possible this will be officially revealed soon – assuming development is, as Shreier alludes, going well.
As for what it entails, that’s anyone’s guess. Barlog has alluded to the idea of a sci-fi game in the past, but it’s unclear whether that’s what he’s working on.
Between the likes of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Saros, Marvel’s Wolverine, and whatever this turns out to be, it’s looking like there’s a unique and exciting end to the PS5 generation ahead.
