We reported last week a new God of War was currently in development, according to a tweet made by series director, David Jaffe. At the time, it turned out he was playing a prank, but over the weekend, Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog officially confirmed what we already suspected for quite some time: a new God of War game is in development.

While Barlog was speaking during at a God of War retrospective panel, he revealed a new God of War was in the works, and it definitely would not be a prequel like God of War: Ascension was. Whether or not the next God of War would feature everyone’s favorite rage-filled protagonist, Kratos, was neither confirmed nor denied by Barlog, although he did say he hopes to share additional information regarding the title within the next year or two.
