Why The Next God of War Might Shake Things Up Just as Much as 2018 Did

God of War received more than just a reboot. When creatives in any medium set out to revive a franchise, the goal is most often to recapture what made the original great and to give fans more of what they love. God of War‘s revival, on the other hand, set out to be much more than just more of the original franchise. Santa Monica Studio reimagined every piece of the experience. Combat is more methodical, the scale of the story is much more personal, and the presentation was adjusted to make the experience more intimate. God of War and its sequel God of War Ragnarok are unique from the original franchise, and whatever comes next needs to do the same.
