The prospect of a God of War Trilogy remake has generated significant excitement, with new details emerging from an unexpected source. While official confirmation from Sony Santa Monica remains pending, actor Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in the recent Norse saga games, recently offered intriguing insights. Speaking at an event, Judge clarified that he would not be involved in the remakes, confirming that TC Carson, the original voice actor for Kratos in the Greek era games, will reprise his iconic role. More notably, Judge indicated the project is not a simple remaster, stating it will utilize new technology and feature a completely new combat system, suggesting a substantial overhaul for the classic titles.
Judge’s comments extended beyond the trilogy, hinting at a broader reveal timeline for the studio. He suggested that fans would “be hearing about what we’re doing, probably in late Summer.” This timeline aligns with recent reports from industry insiders, who claim that Cory Barlog’s next project at Sony Santa Monica is slated for a reveal this summer, targeting a potential 2027 release. Given the mention of “late Summer,” a reveal during events like Gamescom or a dedicated State of Play presentation appears more probable than an appearance at the earlier Summer Game Fest.
Speculation continues regarding the nature of Barlog’s new game. According to credible sources, this project is not another installment in the God of War series. Previous reporting has described it as an original endeavor that, while not based on a brand-new franchise, will “feel like it,” a description that consciously distances it from the established God of War universe. This information, corroborated by multiple insiders, strongly suggests Santa Monica Studio is preparing to unveil a major new intellectual property alongside the significant remake of its foundational trilogy, marking a pivotal period for the acclaimed developer.
