The legendary voice behind God of War’s recent iteration of Kratos, Christopher Judge, has teased that we’ll likely get more news about the franchise in “late summer.”
According to a recording from streamer and YouTuber Fuzhpuzy at Canada’s Fan Expo, Judge, who may not have known he was being recorded at the time, confirmed that while he would not be “playing in the remake” — that role is for Kratos’ original voice actor, TC Carson — “you’ll be hearing about what we’re doing probably late summer.”
The suggestion here is that Judge is back working with Sony Santa Monica on a separate God of War project unrelated to the studio’s early work beginning to remake the franchise’s original trilogy (and the new side-scrolling spin-off Sons of Sparta, which was largely made elsewhere).
Interestingly, Judge also explained that the recently announcement remake starring TC Carson will boast “all the new technology in it, add more stuff, a new fighting system.”
It’s our biggest clue yet that an all-new Sony Santa Monica God of War game is on the way. It’s been pretty quiet ever since 2022’s God of War: Ragnarök in which Kratos and Atreus set out on a mythic journey for answers before Ragnarök arrives, visiting each of the Nine Realms in the brutal and epic sequel.
There had been a live-service multiplayer game in the works, but at the beginning of 2025, Sony canceled two unannounced live-service projects that had been in development at Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, with the latter thought to be a multiplayer God of War game. Then, towards the end of the year, details and images of the canceled game leaked online, confirming the rumors had been true.
As for Amazon’s upcoming adaptation of Sony Santa Monica’s God of War series? The live-action Prime Video TV series based on the popular ancient mythology-themed video game is picking up speed. Ryan Hurst will play Kratos, Callum Vinson will play Kratos’ son, Atreus, and Teresa Palmer, Max Parker, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Alastair Duncan, and Mandy Patinkin join as Sif, Heimdall, Thor, Mimir, and Odin, respectively.
