The God of War series nearly made a major shift, and now, we’ve got a glimpse of what could’ve been. Leaked images from a canceled multiplayer entry suggest Sony and Bluepoint Games were exploring new ground… by going back to the beginning.
God of War multiplayer project was set in Ancient Greece
MP1st recently shared several early-development screenshots tied to the scrapped God of War title. What stands out? The architecture and statuary clearly point to Ancient Greece, not the Norse setting of the most recent games.
This visual pivot hints that the canceled game might’ve returned to the mythological roots that defined Kratos’ original rampage.

Bluepoint’s God of War spin-off hinted at mythic cameos
Although the build was early, some details in the images fuel speculation. Given the Greek backdrop, it’s easy to imagine classic gods returning. Characters like Poseidon, Hades, and Hercules could’ve featured in quests, fights, or even as playable avatars.
A strange red curse was spreading across the map
One detail has fans especially curious: in several screenshots, reddish patterns crawl across terrain, suggesting a curse or spreading infection.
It’s unclear how this mechanic would’ve worked in multiplayer, but it may have affected player zones, objectives, or even combat dynamics.
Other details spotted in the leaked footage:
- Ruined Greek temples and monuments
- Large-scale environments suggesting open maps
- Minimal UI, likely due to early build state
- Hints of co-op or competitive structure
God of War multiplayer mystery remains unsolved
Despite the leaks, no official confirmation has surfaced. Bluepoint has stayed silent, and Sony hasn’t acknowledged the project publicly. Even so, the concept has stirred interest and some fans are now asking for a remake of the original God of War instead.
Could this canceled project lead to something bigger?
If anything, these leaks remind us how flexible the God of War formula still is. Whether this concept stays buried or comes back in another form, one thing is clear: Olympus might not be done with us yet.
