The Sony development studio behind 2018's God of War, and the upcoming sequel to God of War: Ragnarok, appears to be working on an unannounced title, if a new job posting posted to Twitter is anything to go by. The official Santa Monica Studio Twitter account posted an opening for an art director, explicitly for an "unannounced" game, and we're already in a frenzy about what that could be.

The listing invites applicants to "join the award-winning team that created God of War" to "coordinate large teams of artists in multiple fields to execute on the creative promise of a large-scale new project."

Ragnarok and a difficult place
God of War: Ragnarok was announced in September 2020, with a vague 2021 release window, which means it's coming soon. The short trailer released so far suggests the game isn't quite ready to show, which means we're probably looking towards the end of 2021 rather than the start of 2021, and it'll likely land after Horizon Forbidden West, which we're looking at.

It will be hard for the studio to match the acclaim of the 2018 God of War game, which managed to blend the franchise's bloodthirsty violence with a quieter, more introspective characterization than many would have expected from a franchise entry. series. Ragnarok will have to be bigger and better as a sequel, likely augmenting the sets and action with the capabilities of a new PS5 console, capable of displaying more detail, more enemies, bigger environments, and more. - while focusing even more on the heart of its destructive protagonist. If it can do that, we might consider it one of the first must-play PS5 games. Via DualShockers Today's best God of War deals God of War Hits - PlayStation... God of War Greatest Hits - PS4
