Kratos Voice Actor Addresses God of War PS5 Leak
▼ Summary
– Christopher Judge, the voice actor for Kratos, was recorded revealing that announcements for Santa Monica Studio’s next project would likely occur in “late summer.”
– In a subsequent statement, Judge clarified he has no involvement with a rumored God of War Trilogy Remake, which will instead feature TC Carson reprising the role of Kratos.
– The rumored remakes are said to incorporate new technology and a fresh fighting system.
– Judge’s original comments also suggested Santa Monica Studio’s next major game will “feel like” a new IP, potentially set in a new mythology like Ancient Egypt.
– Industry rumors align with Judge’s leak, suggesting this new game will be announced this year for a planned release in 2027.
The voice behind Kratos, Christopher Judge, has issued a public statement following a leaked video where he appeared to hint at future plans for the God of War franchise. This incident stems from a secretly recorded conversation during a fan meet-and-greet, where Judge discussed upcoming projects. While clarifying his remarks on social media, the actor’s comments have fueled significant speculation about a major PlayStation 5 announcement from developer Santa Monica Studio expected later this year.
In his statement on X, Judge sought to set the record straight. “Let me be crystal clear, I have zero involvement with the original games and what they involve. Full stop,” he wrote. He added that while he loves working with Santa Monica Studio, he has other exciting projects in development, with more information coming this summer. Observers note that this clarification feels somewhat deflective. While it was already evident from the leaked video that Judge is not part of the rumored God of War Trilogy Remake, his original comments seemed specifically focused on Santa Monica Studio’s work, not unrelated ventures.
The original leak, captured by a fan and shared online, featured Judge in a candid moment. He informed a supporter that fellow actor TC Carson would be returning to voice Kratos for the trilogy remakes, confirming his own non-involvement. Judge described those remakes as featuring new technologies and a completely refreshed combat system. He then dropped the key tease, suggesting fans would “hear about what we’re doing, probably late summer.”
This timeline aligns with persistent industry rumors pointing to a 2027 release for Santa Monica’s next major title. Judge further elaborated in the video, indicating this new game would “feel like” a fresh intellectual property, leading many to believe the series may explore a new mythological setting such as Ancient Egypt. The expectation is now for a formal announcement, potentially during a summer gaming event, though Judge’s mention of “late summer” could point to a reveal slightly later in the season.
Regardless of the precise timing, the situation confirms that anticipation is building for the next chapter in the acclaimed series. The combination of insider hints and now a high-profile, if accidental, tease from the franchise’s current star suggests official news may be on the horizon sooner rather than later.
