Whispers of a new, unannounced project from Santa Monica Studio, the minds behind God of War, are swirling. A recent update from a key developer sheds light on this intriguing possibility.

Glauco Longhi, a veteran character artist, hints at a new IP in his LinkedIn profile.

A Sci-Fi Speculation

Longhi, who rejoined Santa Monica Studio earlier this year, describes his role as overseeing character development for an "unannounced project." His previous work includes significant contributions to God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök. His profile states he's "Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project," suggesting a substantial undertaking.

Adding fuel to the fire, Cory Barlog, creative director of the 2018 God of War reboot, previously indicated the studio was juggling multiple projects. Furthermore, Santa Monica Studio's active recruitment of a character artist and tools programmer hints at a growing team and expanding project scope.

The Sci-Fi Buzz

Rumors point towards a new sci-fi IP, possibly helmed by God of War 3's creative director, Stig Asmussen. While unconfirmed, Sony's trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" earlier this year adds to the speculation. Previous reports of a cancelled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio further fuel the ongoing intrigue. The truth, however, remains shrouded in mystery until an official announcement.
