A job opening at Sony’s Santa Monica Studio for a combat designer might hint towards the development of a new God of War game. The role mentioned in Sony’s job listing is on a contract basis and requires candidates who are knowledgeable about the combat designs used in recent God of War games, including God of War Ragnarok.
The job announcement came at a hectic moment for Sony and their ventures. While no new “God of War” games are planned for 2025, work persists on an alleged spin-off. This upcoming game is said to reconnect with Kratos’ Greek roots, offering a stark contrast to the recent Norse backdrop. The last time the series was based in Greece was in 2013 with “God of War: Ascension,” a prequel that offered additional background for Kratos’ conflict with Ares. Although fans appreciated it, “God of War: Ascension” wasn’t re-released beyond its initial launch on the PS3.
Sony’s New Combat Designer Job Listing Asks for God of War Experience
Despite persistent speculation about Santa Monica Studio’s future projects, a recently posted job opening might offer some clues about their development plans. A job advertisement on Sony’s Greenhouse platform hints that the studio is seeking a Senior Combat Designer for a contract position on an as-yet-unnamed project. This role would involve designing and implementing enemy and boss characters, with instructions coming from other designers when necessary. The Senior Combat Designer would also collaborate with Sony’s animation and art teams. Interestingly, the job listing stipulates that candidates should be able to discuss the combat systems and mechanics for one or more third-person melee action RPGs. Additionally, those who excel in combat design mechanics and systems used in God of War Ragnarok and its 2018 precursor are highly preferred.
Although Santa Monica Studio hasn’t publicly confirmed the details of the next God of War game, the focus on combat systems from Norse saga titles in a job listing might hint at the direction the developers are taking. Moreover, openings for artists and quality assurance contractors suggest that the main sequel to God of War is currently in its early stages of development. Consequently, fans should manage their expectations during this phase of development.
With the new job openings and the ongoing production of the God of War series on Amazon TV, the franchise continues to shine brightly. However, when Santa Monica Studio will reveal details about their future projects is still unknown.
