If confirmed, the project signals Sony Santa Monica’s strategy to expand the God of War franchise through spin-offs that explore supporting characters and new gameplay directions, potentially extending the brand’s commercial lifecycle and audience reach. A 2027 release window also frames Sony’s midterm content roadmap for a major first-party franchise.
A deleted LinkedIn post by a former Sony Santa Monica developer—widely screenshotted—suggests the studio is developing a new game set within the God of War universe focused on Faye, the mother of Atreus and portrayed by Deborah Ann Woll. Reporting and insider tips from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier and other industry sources indicate Cory Barlog is leading a project that isn’t a new IP but will feel distinct, with a stronger emphasis on action than the recent Norse entries. Insiders say an official reveal is expected this year and a planned release target around 2027. The leak aligns with comments from actor Christopher Judge, who hinted more details on Sony Santa Monica’s work will surface this year.
