Longhi, who previously worked on God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, is now overseeing character development for this mysterious new title. His updated profile states he's "Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project," further fueling speculation.

The studio's active recruitment of a character artist and tools programmer in recent months also points to a significant project underway, suggesting a growing team dedicated to this new IP.

Sci-Fi Speculation Intensifies

While details remain scarce, rumors suggest the project could be a sci-fi title. This aligns with previous comments from Cory Barlog, the creative director of the 2018 God of War reboot, who indicated the studio was working on multiple projects. The recent Sony trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" adds another layer of intrigue, though its connection to this project remains unconfirmed. Past rumors of a canceled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio further fuel the speculation. Although no official announcements have been made, the possibility of a new sci-fi IP from Santa Monica Studio, potentially led by God of War 3's creative director Stig Asmussen, continues to excite fans.
