10 PlayStation 5 Exclusives We Know Are In Development
7. God Of War 2
A sequel to 2018's God of War might very well be the most highly-anticipated game out there right now. Well, that or Grand Theft Auto 6.
The soft-reboot of the franchise was received with endless amounts of praise and awards from the industry at large. What Sony Santa Monica achieved with God of War should set the template for all other developers looking to reinvigorate a franchise; honour the past but have the balls to strip away just about everything to begin anew.
The story of Kratos and Atreus was powerful and left incredible impressions upon everyone who touched it, but it also left things wide open for a sequel. We have to revisit that world to find out more about Atreus' real identity, if the painting of Kratos' death will come true, who called the world serpent, and we still have the little matter of Thor to deal with. Suffice to say, Sony Santa Monica knew full well that it was crafting much more than one game.
So a sequel to God of War is sure as Hel in development. It's unclear if this new story is meant as a trilogy or more, but we'll be there day one regardless. And we're thinking 2022.
