There has been an exciting development for God of War, which is seen as one of the best game series in the world. Although the last game of the action-adventure series, Ragnarök, came out at the end of last year, it was claimed that the new production entered development.
Santa Monica hiring combat designer for new God of War game
Santa Monica, the developer of God of War, seems to have started working on a new game. The Sony-owned studio posted a new job opening this week. The applicant is asked to have “knowledge of God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök (2022)”.
Santa Monica’s new job posting is titled Combat Designer. This shows that the new production can offer much different combat experiences. The candidate should be knowledgeable about combat systems, mechanics and enemies.
The job announcement is the first indication that a new GoW game is in development after last year’s Ragnarök. Ragnarök’s creative director Cory Barlog has previously confirmed that the studio is working on several projects. The advertisement specifically asks for experience with “recent God of War games”.
However, it is not yet clear what the story of the new production will be or which mythology it will focus on. With the completion of the Norse storyline, it seems likely that a new setting and mythology will be featured. Eric Williams, the game director of Ragnarök, stated that they want to run the GoW series in a similar line.
