What's Happening?
Leaked screenshots have surfaced, revealing a cancelled God Of War game by Bluepoint Games. The images showcase work-in-progress environments featuring Ancient Greek architecture, suggesting the game was set before God Of War 3. The project, reportedly
cancelled by Sony earlier this year, was part of a broader cutback on live service games following the failure of Concord. The screenshots hint at a game that would have included Hades as an armory master, with environments depicting cavernous settings and platforming elements.
Why It's Important?
The cancellation of this God Of War project reflects Sony's strategic shift away from live service games, a decision influenced by recent market failures. This move could impact Bluepoint Games' development trajectory and influence future project decisions. The leaked images also highlight the ongoing interest in the God Of War franchise, suggesting potential demand for new content set in its mythological universe. This development may prompt discussions about the viability of live service models in the gaming industry and influence future game development strategies.
