Sure, let’s dive into this with some real human quirks. Here goes:
—
You ever find yourself just scrolling through job listings, like it’s some kind of future-telling? Okay, maybe not, but I stumbled on this one from Santa Monica Studio—yeah, those God of War folks. They’ve got a posting that’s got people buzzing, talking about “martial arts, acting, or dance.” Weird, right? So, obviously, my brain’s off to the races thinking about what in the world they’re cooking up next. Something way different from Kratos smashing his way through mythology, that’s for sure.
I mean, think about it. Santa Monica Studio has been the God of War machine for like, 20 years! (Isn’t that longer than some folks hold a single job?) They kickstarted this whole thing back in ’05 with the first game, somehow keeping it fresh right through to the latest valkyrie-whatever DLC. So, now we’re all wondering: what’s next? It’s like they’re teasing us on purpose.
And okay, side note, isn’t it bizarre that they might drop a totally new IP? With those job requirements, sounds like it’s less about swinging axes and more about some artsy-fartsy, performance-heavy combat. Dance-fighting, maybe? Or everyone suddenly decided dance-offs are the new epic battles. Imagining Kratos in ballet shoes… ha, what a picture.
But hey, hold up. Maybe these kinds of requirements are just par for the course and I’ve been too quick to jump on the hype train. You know how it is with cinematic artists. They tumble into making those jaw-dropping cutscenes that almost trick you into thinking games are cinema. That’s like, everything from sketching it out to pressing all the right buttons in some fancy game engine. But still, martial arts? Sounds more Jackie Chan than Kratos to me.
Also, let’s dish on how they’re supposedly aiming this new project for the PlayStation 6. I didn’t even know the PS5 that well yet! Crazy to think we might be seeing something in 2027 or 2028. Feels like predicting the future, and I can barely plan my weekend without things going off the rails.
Oh, and hear this. Cory Barlog, the mastermind behind those intense battles in God of War, is leading this mystery project, too. Dude knows how to spin a saga, so it’s anyone’s guess what’s coming. Maybe next year we get a peek—fingers crossed.
Santa Monica Studio seems to revel in secrets. Whatever they’ve got up their sleeves next, whether it’s ballet warriors or something else entirely, I’m all in to take that ride. Until then, guess I’ll keep refreshing for more glimpses into this secret world. Funny how a job listing can turn into such a spectacle.
