Christopher Judge, the current voice of Kratos, apparently revealed more than planned at a fan meeting. In a video that has since gone viral, he says that they will be “probably late summer“Hear what his team is working on.”
This aligns well with rumors that God of War developer Santa Monica Studio could release its next major PS5 project in 2027. Judge doesn't provide any specific details. But the timeframe adds new momentum, especially since it comes from a key figure involved.
God of War: Remake without Judge – new technology in focus?
In the same conversation (via RedditJudge clarifies that he is involved in the New edition of the classic trilogy He will not be involved. Instead, TC Carson, the original voice of Kratos, will return. This is a logical decision, including a motion-capture upgrade and PS5 technology.
More interesting, however, is the second part of his statement: The next project will be “like a new IP“It feels different.” Judge also mentions new technology and a fresh combat system. That sounds like more than just a cosmetic upgrade. A revised combat framework would also explain why the development time is apparently longer.
Technically, a break with the Norse saga would make sense. The engine architecture of God of War: Ragnarok It was heavily focused on tight level structures and staged boss fights. A new mythology setting – Egypt is often mentioned – could bring different design requirements: larger areas, different enemy types, perhaps even a changed progression system. Nothing is confirmed, but the direction seems plausible.
Announcement in late summer – Summer Game Fest?
The phrase "late summer" leaves room for interpretation. It could refer to a presentation after the Summer Game Fest, possibly in a dedicated PlayStation format. A larger showcase towards the end of August or in September would also be conceivable.
Officially, Sony has not announced a new release. God of War Confirmed. Everything is currently based on Judge's statement and existing industry rumors. The fact that several clues coincide in time increases the likelihood, but does not replace an official announcement.
One thing is clear: Around God of War The noise intensifies. And this time it doesn't come from anonymous leaks, but directly from Kratos' voice.
Well, if Kratos himself says so, it must be true……………………………………….
