Whispers of a new, unannounced project from Santa Monica Studio, the minds behind God of War, are circulating. A recent update from a key developer sheds light on this intriguing possibility.
Glauco Longhi, a veteran character artist and developer, Hints at a New IP
A Sci-Fi Venture?
Glauco Longhi, who recently rejoined Santa Monica Studio, revealed on his LinkedIn profile that he's overseeing character development for an "unannounced project." His past work includes significant contributions to God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, solidifying his expertise. His profile states he's "Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project, and also helping the studio to continually push and raise the bar on Character Development for videogames."
This cryptic message, coupled with statements from Santa Monica Studio's creative director, Cory Barlog (who mentioned the studio's involvement in "a lot of different things"), and their active recruitment of a character artist and tools programmer, fuels speculation.
The Sci-Fi Speculation
Rumors point towards a new sci-fi IP, possibly spearheaded by God of War 3's creative director, Stig Asmussen. While Sony's trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" earlier this year adds fuel to the fire, no official confirmation exists. Past rumors of a cancelled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio further contribute to the ongoing intrigue. The puzzle pieces are there, but the complete picture remains elusive.
