• Sony Santa Monica Studio is NOT Working on God of War 4

    Sony Santa Monica, the team behind those amazing God of War titles, is believed to be at work on God of War IV, which will likely be outed within the next few months. However, recent job postings have raised plenty of questions: several weeks back, we heard about a job listing for a Senior Online Programmer, and that caused everyone to assume the new GoW would boast online multiplayer.

    Now, the Superannuation Twitter page has turned us onto two new job listings for the studio: a Level Designer with experience in “open world games” and a Senior Combat Designer that has experience in “both first- and third-person shooters” and “working with, developing or designing vehicle combat.” So what? A GTA knockoff? Anybody have any bright ideas?

    We all know the fourth God of War will arrive at some point, and we’re fairly certain Sony Santa Monica will develop it. But they have to be working on something else, don’t you think?

    Business website Linkedin has provided a small piece of information which suggests that God of War 4 is in development, or at least in pre-production as found by PlayStation Systemlink,

    An animator, whose name shall be withhold for security reasons, has the following entry under his work with Motion Logic Studios:

    Game Cinematic for God of War 4 Cinematic Test (PS3)


    Now gamrfeed claims that an unofficial PlayStation magazine, PSM3, has claimed that an unnamed source has informed them that God of War 4 will launch in September of next year.

    “PSM3 has heard from another source that God of War 4 is coming, and will hit in September 2012. Our source works closely with the God of War universe, and let slip he’d be working on a related project at the same time.”

    Most God of War fans are aware of the fact that God of War 3 marked the end of the trilogy. The game’s producer, Steve Caterson, stated that Kratos’ ending is “not the end of the franchise.”
