Excitement is building around a new project hinted at by a God of War developer from Santa Monica Studio. Dive into the details of what Glauco Longhi, a key figure in the God of War series, has revealed and explore the possibilities of what this Sony-owned studio might be crafting next.

God of War's Glauco Longhi Hints at New IP

Rumored to be a Sci-Fi Game

Glauco Longhi, a renowned character artist and game developer known for his work on God of War, has sparked rumors of a new intellectual property (IP) being developed by Santa Monica Studio. This buzz originates from Longhi's LinkedIn profile, where he mentions rejoining the studio to lead character development for an "unannounced project."

Longhi's journey with Santa Monica Studio began with God of War (2018), where he progressed to become the lead character artist for God of War Ragnarok. His return to the studio was motivated by the opportunity to "supervise the character development pipeline" for this new, mysterious project.

"Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project, and also helping the studio to continually push and raise the bar on Character Development for videogames," Longhi states on his profile.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Santa Monica Studio's creative director, Cory Barlog, has mentioned that the studio is working on various projects. Longhi's LinkedIn also indicates that the studio is actively seeking new talent, particularly for roles such as character artist and tools programmer, hinting at an expanding team focused on this new venture.

Rumors have circulated that this unannounced project could be a sci-fi game, possibly spearheaded by Stig Asmussen, the creative director behind God of War 3. While these rumors remain unconfirmed, Sony's recent trademark filing for "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" has added to the speculation. Previously, the studio was rumored to be developing a sci-fi game for the PS4, but that project was believed to have been canceled.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to follow the developments from Santa Monica Studio and the intriguing hints about their next big project.
