God of War is one of PlayStation’s most successful exclusive franchises, and players have been eagerly anticipating what the next chapter in the saga will reveal. The story of Kratos and Atreus is legendary, and with years passing since the release of God of War Ragnarök, fans feel it’s time for the next installment to arrive soon.

However, a new rumor has fans marking their calendars for a potential surprise release of a brand-new God of War game. Spanish YouTuber Revenant suggests that the heavily rumored 2.5D God of War Metroidvania game set in Greece is likely to be announced after the main PlayStation State of Play event concludes this Thursday, February 12 (via PushSquare).

God of War Fans Are Convinced A Shadow Drop Is Coming

You May Want To Stick Around After The State Of Play

According to rumors from Spanish YouTube content creator and journalist Revenant, who is reportedly collaborating with Sony to broadcast the event, players should remain tuned in after this week’s State of Play for a massive God of War shadow drop. Recently, there have been reports about a brand-new God of War Metroidvania-style game set in Greece, and it seems likely this would be the project to stealthily release, assuming the rumors hold true.

This heavily rumored God of War project, according to leaks from several insiders, would act as a prequel to the original game, although no details about it have been officially confirmed. Insider Jeff Grubb (via YouTube) mentioned that the project was initially scheduled for release last year but was postponed to 2026, which adds to fans’ anticipation for a surprise reveal or shadow drop this week.

Undoubtedly, it’s an exciting time to be a God of War fan, with a new Amazon television series in development alongside various rumored projects taking place behind the scenes.

It’s Just Rumors For Now

While the new God of War project could potentially shadow drop, and the PlayStation State of Play is an ideal venue for such an announcement, it’s important to note that all the information presented is currently speculative. There has been no official confirmation regarding whether the 2.5D side-scroller God of War game is indeed in development, but if these rumors are accurate, it would be a significant win for fans.

That said, there remains silence regarding an official new mainline entry in the God of War series, and players are understandably hoping that a surprise announcement could provide insight into what’s next for Kratos and Atreus.

The PlayStation State of Play is set for tomorrow, Thursday, February 12 at 5:00 PM EST, and will likely be about an hour-long broadcast. If you want to verify whether the rumors are true, you might want to stay tuned until after the show concludes for a possible God of War shadow drop.
