Whispers of a new God of War adventure are echoing through the gaming world, with industry insider Jeff Grubb suggesting a potential 2024 release. This unexpected project appears to be a standalone title set within the series' Greek mythology era, distinct from the long-rumored remaster collection.

The speculation follows Grubb's comments on social media, where he downplayed rumors of imminent remasters, stating they were 'jumping the gun' and would likely align closer to the franchise's anniversary celebrations.  Instead, he hinted at a smaller-scale 'side-story' set in Greece, designed to be more manageable for a quicker release following God of War Ragnarok.

This news comes as a surprise to many fans, who have been eagerly awaiting information about the future of the series.  Recent speculation focused on job listings at PlayStation and the relative silence from Santa Monica Studio, leading to theories about a new game being in development.

Grubb clarified that this project is not the game Cory Barlog, director of God of War (2018), has been working on since then, nor is it DLC for Ragnarok.  He advised fans to 'set their expectations lower,' suggesting a scope perhaps akin to The Last of Us: Left Behind or Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales – a concentrated experience bridging the gap between major releases.

The prospect of returning to the world of Greek mythology has ignited excitement among fans.  Grubb's initial comments were in response to an art piece created for the God of War 20th-anniversary show, further fueling speculation about the franchise's future direction.

While details remain scarce, the possibility of a new God of War game in 2024, revisiting the iconic setting of ancient Greece, has certainly captured the attention of the gaming community.  As always, it's important to treat rumors with caution until official confirmation arrives.
