Blasphemous is a fantastic Metroidvania and I can totally see God of War working in this style. I just hope that the writing is decent, because Kratos was kind of a dick during most of the God of War games set in Greece.
The only Metroidvania I’ve really enjoyed was the Ori games. But I trust Santa Monica to make something amazing, and it’s never not fun slinging the blades of chaos around.
So they are going with the Prince of Persia approche?
Hppefully the game is good
It was also supposed to be announced during this not-e3 period but jeff grubb said due to it being pushed to 2026 they’re holding off on talking about it. An insider on resetera also claims part of the reason to delay it was to add voice acting, so now I’m wondering if we’re going to get chris judge trying to emulate angry kratos or will they go back to TC just for this game.
Finally, a normal Kratos in a normal gow setting!
2.5D Metroidvania doesn’t really scream Triple AYYY.
This isn’t exactly news, this rumor has been floating around for months at least.
niceee, RP’ing as a single dad was getting old.
Wasn’t this supposed to be an outsourced project right now? Pretty sure SSM is currently working on Barlog’s game and the next big GoW one.
Ascension almost killed the franchise because it was a prequel. They are back to making the same mistakes.
Real ones will remember the mobile GoW game that was kinda like this
Wasn’t the main character supposed to be his brother Deimos?
