Santa Monica Studio is reportedly planning to release its next major PlayStation 5 exclusive in 2027, according to a Push Square report. The project is said to be in development alongside the studio's recently announced God of War Trilogy Remake and has been led for several years by veteran director Cory Barlog.

Sources cited by Push Square indicate the game is intended to “feel” like a new intellectual property rather than a straight continuation of the existing God of War line, with a common industry consensus suggesting the project may explore a radically different mythology such as Ancient Egypt. The outlet adds the 2027 target remains in place “unless a major delay happens.”

The report follows Santa Monica Studio's public confirmation of the trilogy remake and comes amid broader speculation about the studio's post-Ragnarök plans. Cory Barlog, who directed the 2018 God of War, has been linked to the unannounced project for several years, according to the coverage.

Santa Monica Studio's track record includes the critically acclaimed 2018 reboot God of War and the 2022 follow-up God of War Ragnarök. Details on the unannounced PS5 project remain limited, and no official release window has been confirmed by PlayStation or Santa Monica Studio beyond the reporting of a 2027 aim.
