\"God<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s somewhat of an open secret at this stage that God of War<\/a> is going back to Greece<\/a> in a 2.5D-style Metroidvania game, perhaps similar in style and scope to last year\u2019s critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the summer of not-E3<\/strong><\/a> announcements has come and gone without mention of the release, leading many to ponder whether it really exists at all.<\/p>\n

According to well-connected Giant Bomb<\/a> co-owner Jeff Grubb, the title\u2019s still very much still on the way, but has been internally delayed into 2026 at this point.<\/p>\n

It tallies with various other rumours that have been swirling around this unannounced project, which suggest the scale of the title has increased. One supposed source claimed that the outing had been postponed in order to add full voice acting, as the release previously relied on text boxes.<\/p>\n

Assuming this is all true, then you can expect the final adventure to be of a pretty high quality \u2013 as you\u2019d perhaps expect from the God of War franchise.<\/p>\n

One thing worth noting here is that Santa Monica Studio isn\u2019t making this one, although it\u2019ll likely be involved in some capacity. Mega Cat Studios, the maker of various pixel art-style titles \u2013 including Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s: Into the Pit<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 is one name we\u2019ve heard potentially associated with this title, so make of that what you will.<\/p>\n

Either way, we perhaps wouldn\u2019t expect this to be announced until next year now, unless it\u2019s slated to release early on in 2026.<\/p>\n
