The New God of War Is Set After The 3rd Game + More

In a post conference interview with YouTube Live at E3, Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog revealed several new details about the new God of War game. Barlog confirmed that God of War is set many years after God of War III and you'll play as Kratos the entire game. The big change with this next God of War is the gameplay, which has been completely redone "The main thing we're doing is we're reimagining the gameplay, kind of tearing it down, rebuilding it from scratch, and continuing the storyline," Barlog said. "We're carrying the mythology we've created with God of War and bringing it into Norse mythology." When asked about if the game has an open world or not, Barlog said, "It's open, but it's not an open world."
