• Barlog handed off directorial duties on God of War Ragnarok to Eric Williams to focus on this next project.
• Sony Santa Monica has not confirmed if the new game represents a fresh IP or an extension of the God of War universe.
• Separate industry chatter suggests a 2.5D Metroidvania-style God of War spin-off could be revealed soon, but no official announcement has been made.
