Multiplayer God of War Game Screenshots Reveal A Cancelled Return to Ancient Greece

The 2018 soft reboot of the God of War franchise saw Kratos face off against the gods of Norse mythology, but, as reports from earlier this year claimed, Sony was working on a multiplayer God of War game that we now know would have taken place in Ancient Greece, thanks to MP1st's insider sources . The supposed leak of screenshots of the cancelled God of War multiplayer project would have seemingly taken place before the events of God of War 3, since Hades was still supposedly actively involved in the game's events. The unreleased God of War game was being developed by Bluepoint Games, the same development studio behind Demon Souls and a handful of game remasters, including Titanfall on the Xbox 360.

Further details about the game, including how a multiplayer God of War game would look, are still unknown, but the screenshots provided by MP1st's source reveal that the game would be a return to Ancient Greece—or a territory conquered by the Greek empire. The game was seemingly still in very early development, but it is evident from the screenshots that the halls, rooms, and caverns were being designed for multiple players. Curiously, it seems as though some assets—weapons and statues that bear an uncanny resemblance to warriors and weapons from the Norse arcs—were also borrowed from the 2018 God of War reboot, although it's unclear if these were simply substitutes that would later be replaced or if they'd actually make it into the final game.
