Sony Santa Monica's Next Major God of War Game Reportedly Features Multiple Mythologies

The unannounced game reportedly adds Chinese and Japanese lore, with Mayan elements also rumored, and shifts the lead away from Kratos.

  • A new report from MP1st claims the upcoming God of War spin-off will feature Faye and the Norse God of War, Tyr, as dual protagonists, exploring Chinese, Japanese, and Mayan mythology.
  • Last month, video game leaker NatetheHate reported that Sony Santa Monica's next project centers on Faye, Kratos' deceased wife; IGN verified this claim, confirming Kratos will not lead the title.
  • Players will reportedly control Faye, accompanied by a "gelatinous cube" and a "talking sword" said to be Merlin, marking a departure from the franchise's traditional Greek and Norse focus.
  • Veteran journalist Tom Henderson recently reported Sony may announce the title this month, April 2026, though Sony Santa Monica has not officially confirmed these details.
  • Moving beyond the series' established history, the project aims to explore diverse mythologies in an action-focused experience, aligning with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier's tease that the work feels like a departure from established intellectual property.
