God of War Devs Head to the Future with New Sci-Fi Rumored Game

Rumors are swirling about a new, unannounced project from Santa Monica Studio, the creators of the acclaimed God of War series. Glauco Longhi, a character artist and developer who recently rejoined the studio, offers a tantalizing clue on his LinkedIn profile. He describes overseeing character development for an "unannounced project," fueling speculation about a new IP.

Longhi's impressive resume includes work on God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, solidifying his credibility. His LinkedIn update explicitly mentions "supervising/directing character development" for this mystery title, and helping the studio elevate its character development standards.

This news aligns with previous statements by Cory Barlog, the creative director of the 2018 God of War reboot, who hinted at the studio's involvement in multiple projects. Further supporting the expansion, Santa Monica Studio has been actively recruiting new talent, including character artists and tools programmers, in recent months.

While speculation points towards a sci-fi IP, potentially led by God of War 3's Stig Asmussen, nothing is confirmed. Previous rumors, including a possibly canceled PS4 sci-fi project and a Sony trademark for "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet," add to the intrigue, but remain unverified. The mystery continues, leaving fans eagerly anticipating an official announcement from Santa Monica Studio.
