According to a recent Twitter post from insider NateTheHate, the long-rumored upcoming God of War title in development is set in the God of War universe and will feature Kratos’s wife, Faye, as the lead character. According to Nate, the game will focus more on action compared to recent God of War titles and is planned to be revealed this year and released by the first half of next year.
Here's what I have heard:
Yes, the game is set within the God of War universe & the lead character will be Faye. Gameplay is said to differ from the Norse God of War games with more of a focus on action.
Current plan: Reveal this year/release first half 2027 – barring any delay https://t.co/LGm9hsppNN

According to insider Shinobi602 in a ResetEra thread last month, Barlog’s new game is expected to be revealed this year and could appear during a State of Play in May or at Summer Game Fest, citing “given the quarter they’re targeting,” though they noted they are unsure. If the game is not revealed during that window, the insider suggested the release may have been pushed back or that it could have a “shorter reveal to release” window. It is worth noting that these are unverified claims and not official information.
