A new job listing byGod of Wardeveloper Sony Santa Monica seems to confirm that it is now makingGod of War 2. Thedeveloper has a new boss after Shannon Studstill left to join Google, but this is unlikely to have any effect on the quality of the new game.
On the Sony Santa Monica Studio site, the developer has posted a job listing for a gameplay camera designer to join theGod of Warteam on contract. The hired designer will have to “design and implement player-controlled gameplay cameras and camera systems,” “support player navigation, traversal and combat with a keen eye for the combination of composition and usability,” and will be working with other gameplay and design teams to “help create a smooth and seamless player experience.” The listing doesn’t say that the game isGod of War 2, orGod of War 5if following the series' timeline, but it seems unlikely that this is for an update to the 2018 game.

The job listing isn’t the first tease that Sony Santa Monica has put out for a newGod of Wargame. Ananimator forGod of Warposted a photo in a motion capture suit, suggesting that Sony Santa Monica is now deep into development on a new game in the series.
Cory Barlog, the game director ofGod of War, alsojoked about developing a sequel that isn’tGod of War 2. Barlog’s tweet may not have officially confirmed that the new game is in development, but it seems to many fans that the developer is treatingGod of War 2like an unspoken secret.
There have been rumors thatSony Santa Monica is developing two exciting games for PS5. One of these could be a newGod of Warand the other could be a brand new IP. The developer may be making these two games at the same time but it’s difficult to guess how far each of them are into development and which one could be released first.
It’s unclear when a new Sony Santa Monica game could be announced. Sony hasofficially revealed more PS5 featuresbut that event didn’t give fans the game announcements that they wanted and the company hasn’t announced any other streams like that. Any new game from the developer would probably be revealed at a bigger PS5 event, but fans don’t know when that could be.
God of Waris out now for the PlayStation 4.
