Cory Barlog’s Next Project Could Be a God of War Spin-Off Starring Faye
Fresh speculation has surfaced around the unannounced project led by God of War director Cory Barlog, with new reports suggesting the game could be a spin-off set in the God of War universe starring Faye.
According to circulating industry chatter, the rumored title may explore Faye’s past before the events of God of War (2018). While the project has not been officially revealed, the possibility of shifting focus to Kratos’ late partner has quickly captured fan attention, given her importance to the Norse saga’s narrative foundation.

If accurate, the spin-off could offer a different storytelling perspective within the franchise. Rather than continuing Kratos’ mainline journey immediately, Santa Monica Studio may be looking to expand the world through a more character-driven prequel experience. Such an approach would allow deeper exploration of the mythology and family dynamics that shaped the current timeline.

At this stage, Sony and Santa Monica Studio have not confirmed the existence of the project, and no platforms, release window, or gameplay details have been announced. As with many early reports, the information should be treated cautiously until an official reveal is made.

For now, the rumor mainly highlights continued interest in the future of the God of War franchise and if the Faye-focused concept proves real, it could mark one of the series’ most intriguing narrative directions yet.
