The familiar voice behind Kratos, Christopher Judge, recently stirred up quite the buzz with a hint about a God of War announcement. Hold on, though—there isn’t one on the horizon.
It’s been a little over two years since God of War Ragnarok hit the shelves, if you can believe that. Naturally, folks are itching to know when Santa Monica Studio might dive into another chapter. While no official updates have been released, last week, Judge hosted an Instagram live session that got fans talking. Rumors flew, suggesting some God of War news around December 1st. Judge had people guessing when he said, “The next two weeks are gonna be chock-full of announcements and all kinds of good stuff,” adding, “December 1st, we will be making a major announcement—I can’t wait because a lot of you asked me, ‘What’s coming next?'”
With their ears perked up, gamers quickly jumped to the conclusion that Sony might be ready to spill the beans on something God of War-related—even though Judge never actually mentioned the game. Fast forward a bit, and it turns out those assumptions missed the mark. Via Twitter, Judge responded to a related tweet and set the record straight: “Absolutely not true! You can’t tease something you know nothing about. I will be making announcements in the near future,” he confirmed, making it clear, “I can guarantee none of them will be about OUR beloved God of War. I am awaiting updates just like everyone else.”
So yes, announcements are indeed on the way, and yes, they involve Judge, but no, they aren’t tied to Kratos and his mythic exploits. This might still be exciting news for Judge’s fans overall, but for those hoping for God of War tidbits—sorry, not today. You might want to consider revisiting the series in the meantime; after all, I’m not here to tell you how to spend your free time.
