Santa Monica Studio's narrative animator Kim Newman has posted a picture on Twitter in a full motion-capture suit, which could mean that the long-rumoured 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War sequel is in production.

It's the latest trickle of evidence that suggests the studio is working on a sequel. Last year, it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:posted job listings recruiti﷽ng 💖for a senior combat animator with a "knowledge of God of War (2018)." 

There was also a role for a "Facial Blend Shape Character Artist" that also mentioned knowledge of next-gen, suggesting that Sony Santa Monica is in fact working on a sequel to God of War which will land on the PS5. A next-gen title makes total sense when you consider Sony's next-gen console is slated to release at the end of this year, although should be noted that on their careers site specifically mention working o𝔉n PS4, so there's a chance we could get another adventure on Sony's current console. 

A short while after, as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GamesRadar+ reported, more job postings wer🍌e advertised that appeared to hint at where the next God of War game could take place. Interestingly, the postings were looking for an assistant cinematic director and a cinematic artist who had experience in "martial arts and dance." This r🍃equirement could be taken in a number of ways, but suggests the next God of War could take place in Eastern Asia. 

Nothing official has been revealed about our reunion with Kratos, but outside of the job listings, there have been plenty of hints and rumours circulating about the sequel. Early last year, an interesting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War PS4 theme also hinted where the series could be heading. The theme saw Kratos and Atreus in a boat with Nordic Runes etch💖ed on the side♔ that translates to "Ragnarok is coming," which could spell that the sequel will go in the direction of the Norse apocalypse. 

Of course, Sony Santa Monica might be working on an entirely new thing, which is an exciting thing in and of itself. With more evidence mounting that production is picking up pace on whatever their next project is, we can't wait to see more.

I sta🧔rted out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, oไr drinking far too much tea for my own good.
