God of War to get surprise spin-off this year, claims insider

God of War’s 20th anniversary has officially come and gone, and while we did get a couple cool new things in celebration, the rumoured remaster for the OG trilogy was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, it does appear a God of War game is in fact slated for launch in 2025 – though it’s said to be a Greece-based spin-off.

Taking to BlueSky, known industry insider / leaker Jeff Grubb offered some tangentially-hopeful news for fans who were waiting for a GoW Remaster announcement, writing:

“OK. Everyone keeps asking about this, so I've tried to find out more: There's still a Greek God of War thing coming out this year, but it's not a remaster collection. It's a new side-story project.”

Offering further context, Grubb added, “I was never told about a Remaster collection, but I asked a source about the rumors (that I saw were focused on a collection) and they told me that nothing God of War would happen at the State of Play but something could show up at the anniversary. ”

As mentioned, the anniversary for God of War 1 has just come and gone (in the US at least). That said, the EU region didn’t see the game until months later on the 8th of July 2005. As such, there remains some time still for PlayStation / Sony Santa Monica to unveil this rumoured project in a timely manner.
