After revealing its new God of War game, the first not to star the Spartan ascendant Kratos, Santa Monica had to make it clear that yes, we’ll get to see more of the big guy in future installments. This one has Kratos’ late wife, Faye, as the protagonist, though that doesn’t seem to sit well with a good chunk of the fan base.
As spotted by Eurogamer, Santa Monica Studio’s creative director Cory Barlog and GoW: Laufey game director Ariel Lawrence spoke in an interview that went live not long after the conclusion of Sony’s State of Play this Tuesday. In it, Barlog said Faye as a protagonist is admittedly something “different” than what fans and the studio are used to, but nevertheless remains a “part of the larger tapestry of what we truly want to explore.”
However, Kratos stories will not go away, and more are to come with future installments in the series. “There’s always going to be Kratos games throughout the whole history,” Barlog pointed out. Lawrence reaffirmed this stance, saying that Santa Monica simply “can’t not tell stories about the big guy.”
