Every so often, a leak comes along that makes you stop, stare, and remember why you fell in love with a game series in the first place. That’s what happened this week when early screenshots surfaced from a cancelled God of War multiplayer game, a game not set in the frost-bitten Norse realms we’ve come to know in God of War Ragnarok, but in the dusty marble of ancient Greece.
Instantly, I missed it. The cracked statues. The molten skies. That operatic grandeur made God of War’s original setting just feel right. These screens, while not showing anything in motion, look like beautifully stylised dioramas ripe for ripping apart, or at least, some unruly vase smashing.
