Sony’s flagship action series, God of War, is growing beyond Kratos, with multiple projects bringing fresh stories and worlds to explore.
Santa Monica Studios is reportedly developing a new project set in the God of War universe. The information is based on a former writer’s LinkedIn profile, which mentions participation in an unannounced franchise within the same world. The project’s description states that its main goals are to develop a narrative vision, develop new characters and lore, and meaningfully expand the current universe. This implies it might be a spin-off or a story set in the same timeline, with distinct characters and viewpoints, rather than just another direct sequel.
Recently, rumors surfaced on X claiming that the new God of War universe game will center around a character named Faye. There isn’t any verified source to confirm this, so the characters’ further details remain unclear. What is clear is that Sony appears to be exploring a shared universe approach, expanding the franchise beyond the core Kratos storyline.
Journalist Jason Schreier has previously indicated that Sony plans to support multiple God of War sequels and spin-offs, and it looks like the studio is following through. On top of the new projects, the original God of War trilogy is being remade for PlayStation 5, a development revealed at the latest PlayStation State of Play.
Meanwhile, Amazon is preparing a live-action God of War television series.
But the initial leaked images have sparked mixed reactions. Santa Monica Studios is reportedly developing a new project set in the God of War universe. The information is based on a former writer’s LinkedIn profile, which mentions participation in an unannounced franchise within the same world.
The project’s description states that its main goals are to develop a narrative vision, develop new characters and lore, and meaningfully expand the current universe.

Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in recent games, has also hinted at more projects in the pipeline, including remakes, shows, and new spin-offs. Between the remakes, television adaptations, and potential new titles, the God of War universe is clearly becoming one of Sony’s long-term pillars, offering fans more ways to dive into its stories and characters than ever before.
With these developments, it’s evident that the franchise is expanding in multiple directions.
While the old games are being updated for new systems, fans can look forward to new stories, characters, and a deeper look into the world of God of War. There have been many remakes, spin-offs, and other media adaptations of the universe, which shows that Sony wants to keep it alive and interesting for a long time.
