God of War Future Revealed: Remakes, Latest Combat and a 2027 Release on the Horizon
The future of the God of War franchise is taking shape, with recent revelations from voice actor Christopher Judge hinting at exciting developments for fans. Judge inadvertently shared details regarding the upcoming God of War Trilogy Remake and Santa Monica Studio’s next major project, potentially slated for a 2027 release.
TC Carson Returns as Kratos in the Remakes
A significant change is coming to the voice of Kratos. Christopher Judge, who brilliantly voiced the character in the recent God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, will not be returning for the God of War Trilogy Remake. Instead, TC Carson, the original voice of Kratos in the first two God of War games, will reprise his role. Judge revealed this during a recent meet and greet, confirming that he won’t be involved in the remakes.
The remakes aren’t simply graphical updates. Judge too indicated the games will feature “new technology” and a “fresh fighting system,” suggesting a substantial overhaul beyond a simple remaster. This points to a significant investment from Santa Monica Studio to modernize the classic titles for a new generation of players.
New God of War Project: A Fresh IP Feeling in Late Summer Reveal?
Perhaps the most intriguing news is the hint of a new God of War game from Santa Monica Studio. Judge stated that fans will “hear about what we’re doing, probably late summer.” This aligns with existing rumors suggesting a 2027 release for the studio’s next major PS5 exclusive. The game is expected to “perceive like” a new IP, leading to speculation about a potential shift in mythology, with Ancient Egypt being a popular theory.
This move towards a new mythology could represent a strategic decision by Sony and Santa Monica Studio to expand the God of War universe beyond Norse mythology, while still retaining the core action-adventure gameplay that defines the series.
What Does This Mean for the Future of PlayStation Exclusives?
The timing of these announcements is noteworthy. Rumors have circulated about Sony’s plans for major PS5 exclusives in 2027, and Judge’s comments lend further credence to those reports. A potential reveal during Summer Game Fest or a dedicated State of Play seems likely, given the “late summer” timeframe mentioned.
This also highlights the importance of voice actors in generating hype and leaking information. While unintentional, Judge’s comments have ignited excitement within the gaming community and provided valuable insight into the future of one of PlayStation’s flagship franchises.
