Sony’s Santa Monica studio may have just shipped God of War: Ragnarok but it looks like they have no plans to slow down thanks to the many projects in the works.
Talking to Los Angeles TimesSanta Monica creative director Cory Barlog said the studio is “spread out on a lot of different things,” likely including the project he moved on to after leaving God of War.
However, it is not clear exactly what these projects are, as Barlog has refused to give anything away. Santa Monica also has an outside development team that publishes third party games (such as Hohokum and Twisted Metal) so they can also be included in said projects..
However, Santa Monica has over 200 employees, and while the majority of those were likely working on Ragnarok, the long-awaited sequel was completed about a month before its November 9th release.
Since this was only last week, Santa Monica hasn’t yet announced what it’s working on next, but it’s possible that it has at least one or two major projects for the game in the works.
One such game could very well be the next God of War, though Santa Monica has been very clear that the Norse saga that began the 2018 iteration has ended with Ragnarok.
In our 10/10 review, IGN said: “God of War: Ragnarok is a great achievement and creates a new level that makes many of its peers seem human by comparison.”
