God of War Ragnarök News

Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge says he hopes the next God of War is set in Egypt while making a hypothetical sequel sound pretty unhypothetical: 'I have no doubt that no matter what pantheon it is, it will be great'

During this weekend's MCM London Comic Con, Kratos voice actor and videogames' foremost barker of the word "boy" Christopher Judge shared his hopes for where God of War might be heading next. And in the process, he may have inadvertently hinted things are already in motion towards another entry in the series—even if Sony isn't ready to share its plans (via GamesRadar)...

Former God of War exec says the blockbuster games industry needs to steer away from spectacle and focus on what matters: 'if it's not fun, it's not worth the investment'

It's no secret that Western games development is in the doldrums: the industry has laid off over 45,000 jobs since the COVID bubble burst in 2022, and publishers and studios are scrambling for ways to adapt to rising costs and shifting player priorities. Meanwhile, viral hits from smaller teams—ranging from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 through to Peak—make those billion-dollar companies look old hat, almost like dinosaurs (though it's also true that neither were made by a company whose CEO makes more than $29,000,000 in a year)...

I probably don't need to remind you of that whole Helldivers 2 fiasco, where they tried to make logging into a PSN a requirement for those on PC and later scrapped this because it went down horrendously. However, there has been one other snag that came with all this PSN nonsense: region locking.

PlayStation's bigwigs are content to stick with their current approach to multiplatform releases for now, making it unlikely we're going to see a sudden switch to day-and-date PC ports of Sony's big single-player games anytime soon.

SlayPtation have been bringing their studios' multiplayer and live-service games to PC at release for a while now, it making sense with the likes of Helldivers 2 and, er, Concord, to try and ensure the maximum potential player base possible right out of the gate. On the other hand, for single player stuff like God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima they've been content to wait a year to bring over to the other video game boxes.
