Overview
- God of War creator David Jaffe condemned Prime Video’s official first-look image as a “terrible” choice but said he remains confident in showrunner Ronald D. Moore and executive producer Cory Barlog.
- Kratos actor Ryan Hurst responded to the online backlash by telling fans, “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet, kids.”
- Prime Video announced more casting for the series—adding Thor’s children Thrúd, Magni, and Modi, plus Gna—while filming proceeds in Vancouver with Frederick E. O. Toye directing the first two episodes.
- Industry leaker NateTheHate2, echoed by Shpeshal Nick, claims the next Santa Monica game will star Faye with faster, action-focused combat, a planned 2026 reveal, and a target release in the first half of 2027, though none of this is officially confirmed.
- A now-deleted LinkedIn profile attributed to a former Sony Santa Monica senior writer referenced work on “a new franchise within the God of War universe,” a claim that outlets reported but cannot independently authenticate.
