God of War Ragnarök has been a big hit and now there are talks that the developers are coming up with a new game after Sony’s recent announcement of hiring new people in order to work on a game.

At the same time, Eric Williams, the game director of God of War Ragnarok, stated that he would not mind if Sony Santa Monica became known as the God of War studio and continued the franchise in the future. Barlog’s remarks indicate that Sony Santa Monica is branching out into new projects outside of GOW, although Williams’ comments leave the door open for further entries in the franchise.

However, there is no assurance that this is just for the game as they have also spoken about the designer also knowing competitive products and various gameplay genres. this could be for some other games too as the developers could also be working on some other project other than GOW Ragnarok.
We know that the God of War Ragnarok ended the Norse saga. Even before the game was released, Williams and Barlog were adamant that the saga would be wrapped up in two rather than three games, simply because three would take far too long to develop. If a new God of War game is released, don’t expect it to return to the realms of Odin and Thor.
