Santa Monica Studio, the renowned developer behind the God of War franchise, is fueling speculation about a new, unannounced project. Glauco Longhi, a character artist and developer with a history on both God of War (2018) and Ragnarok, recently updated his LinkedIn profile. This update reveals his involvement in overseeing character development for a currently undisclosed game.

Longhi's profile states that he's "Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project," further indicating a significant role in this new title. His return to Santa Monica Studio earlier this year, coupled with this statement, strongly suggests a substantial undertaking.

Adding fuel to the fire, Santa Monica Studio's creative director, Cory Barlog, previously hinted at the studio's involvement in multiple projects. This aligns with Longhi's involvement and the studio's ongoing recruitment efforts, including searches for a character artist and tools programmer.

Rumors point towards a sci-fi setting for this mysterious project. While unconfirmed, this speculation is bolstered by previous reports, including a Sony trademark for "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" and past, unconfirmed reports of a cancelled sci-fi PS4 title. While the specifics remain shrouded in secrecy, the evidence points to a significant new IP from the creators of God of War. The wait for an official announcement continues, but the anticipation among fans is palpable.
