Insiders Reveal God of War Creator’s Next Game Aiming for 2027 Release
Renowned game director Cory Barlog, known for his work on 2007’s God of War II and 2018’s God of War, is set to unveil his next project. While the highly-anticipated game did not appear during the February 2026 State of Play event, credible insiders suggest a reveal is planned for Summer 2026, aiming for a 2027 release.
Cory Barlog’s Next Game: Anticipated Details
Insider NatetheHate, through a post on X, indicated that Barlog is directing his own game. He mentioned that he expects to share more information soon. According to his assessment:
- The game is likely to be announced in Summer 2026.
- Provided there are no major delays, the release is planned for 2027.
Another respected insider, Shinobi602, echoed similar sentiments on the ResetEra gaming board. The discussion revealed conflicting timelines, with some speculation around a possible 2028 release. Shinobi602 remarked that this timeframe seems too far-fetched, confirming that a reveal will likely occur within the year, possibly at major events like the May State of Play or the Summer Game Fest.
Previous Projects and Current Endeavors
In September 2021, Barlog had confirmed he would not be directing God of War Ragnarök, leaving that responsibility to Eric Williams. Although he retained the title of Creative Director and Producer for Ragnarök, he is currently engrossed in developing his next project, which remains largely under wraps.
The nature of Barlog’s upcoming game has spurred speculation. Some rumors suggest a sci-fi theme, though details remain unverified. A notable report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier in July 2025 reassured fans that while not a wholly new intellectual property, the project may evoke the feeling of an old PlayStation title returning to the forefront.
What Lies Ahead
With analysts and fans eager for updates, the gaming community is abuzz with anticipation. If the insiders’ claims hold true, an announcement could be just around the corner. As we await more information, it seems clear that Barlog’s next game is poised to generate excitement within the gaming world.
