- A former Sony Santa Monica employee’s LinkedIn page may have leaked a new god of war derivative project
- It is described as “new franchise within the god of war universe”
- This comes as a broader attempt by Sony to grow the franchise.

As captured by users on gaming forum ResetEra, the writer’s profile section detailing their time at the studio said that they “helped shape the narrative vision and creative direction” of a “new franchise within the god of war universe.”
