A few days ago, the unmistakable voice of Kratos, Christopher Judge, stirred up some buzz about a potential God of War announcement. But here’s the twist—there’s actually nothing new on the horizon for now.
It may be hard to believe, but it’s been a couple of years since God of War Ragnarok was released. Naturally, fans of the saga have been eagerly speculating about when Santa Monica Studio might unveil their next installment. While there hasn’t been any official news revealed lately, last week, Christopher Judge held an Instagram live session that sparked a flurry of rumors. Many took his words as a hint that we’d hear something God of War-related in the coming weeks, with a particular focus on December 1. During the live session, Judge mentioned, “The next two weeks are gonna be chock-full of announcements and all kinds of good stuff,” and further hinted, “December 1st, we will be making a major announcement – which I can’t wait to do ’cause a lot of you asked me: ‘What’s coming next?'”
As gamers typically do, they ran with this breadcrumb, assuming it was a direct nod towards something related to God of War, even though Judge hadn’t explicitly mentioned the game. Fast forward, Judge took to Twitter to set the record straight. Quoting a tweet that discussed his comments, Judge clarified: “Absolutely not true! You can’t tease something you know nothing about. I will be making announcements in the near future,” and assured everyone, “I can guarantee none of them will be about OUR beloved God of War. I am awaiting updates just like everyone else.”
So yes, Judge has some announcements up his sleeve. And yes, they’re coming soon. However, God of War enthusiasts will need to hold their horses, as these aren’t linked to Kratos and crew. For those who simply enjoy Judge’s work, there’s still something to look forward to—even if it doesn’t involve diving back into the mythos of God of War just yet. In the meantime, perhaps revisiting the series isn’t such a bad idea, until the real news breaks out.
