The voice behind the iconic Kratos has hinted that major updates for the beloved God of War franchise could be revealed in the coming months. Christopher Judge, who has portrayed the character since the 2018 series reboot, indicated during a recent fan event that news regarding the future of the series might arrive by late summer. This has sparked widespread speculation about a potential sequel to 2022’s God of War Ragnarök or another significant project from developer Sony Santa Monica.
During a signing session at Canada’s Fan Expo, Judge’s comments were captured in a video. He clarified that he would not be involved with the recently announced remakes of the original Greek trilogy, confirming that the original voice actor, TC Carson, would reprise his role for those projects. However, Judge teased that fans would “be hearing about what we’re doing probably late summer”, suggesting that an official announcement from the studio could be imminent. While this points toward a new mainline entry, it remains possible that Judge is involved in a different capacity, such as for a spin-off or other related content.
This latest tease aligns with previous hints about the studio’s direction. Last year, journalist Jason Schreier reported that Sony Santa Monica’s next major project, led by veteran director Cory Barlog, would not be a completely new intellectual property but might “feel like one”. Schreier dismissed long-standing rumors about a sci-fi setting, calling them nonsense, which has led to theories about a radical reinvention of the God of War universe itself. The studio has also previously hinted at working on a new IP, adding another layer of mystery to its upcoming slate.
With multiple possibilities on the table, from a sequel to a bold reimagining, the late summer timeframe could bring much-needed clarity. In the meantime, fans have the recently released spin-off Sons of Sparta to enjoy, along with the anticipation of a live-action God of War television series currently in development. The coming months promise to be an exciting period for followers of Kratos’s saga, as Sony Santa Monica prepares to unveil the next chapter in its storied franchise.
