The most recent God of War release took five years to develop. (Too late!) So God of War 5 is almost certainly in an early development stage, so gamers will probably have to wait a long time before they get their hands on it. This suggests that the original position was filled or Santa Monica removed the snippet to avoid stirring up any rumors. The position is still available as of March 2020, though the line that required knowledge of God of War (2018) appears to have been removed. To top that off, Santa Monica also posted a job opening for a “Senior Combat Designer” in June 14 that required applicants to have “knowledge of God of War (2018) and be able to speak in-depth about the combat system, mechanics, and enemies.” He later clarified on Twitter he was speaking candidly and that Santa Monica doesn’t actually have plans for five more games, but it seems that Barlog has more than enough material to work with for God of War 5 and might already be developing the next game. He told Kotaku in April 2018 that he had brainstormed enough God of War story ideas for five new games.

But Barlog has long teased that a God of War 5 release is imminent. Santa Monica is still keeping quiet about the future of the series, however. Cory Barlogīarlog’s brief tweet riled up hundreds of God of War fans that tweeted back at him begging for some kind of official announcement for the title. Barlog's juicy response to IGN's tweet on Tuesday.
