Santa Monica Studios, the developers behind the beloved God of War series announced that they will no longer be making any more installments into the franchise. After God of War Ascension came out and did poor in sales, Sony and Santa Monica Studios both thought it to be best to end the series with the prequel. Fans of the series have revolted against the announcement, demanding that another installment be added into the franchise.
Alex Tanner, the CEO of Santa Monica Studios, replied to the mass revolt against the announcement saying: “If we were to create another God of War game it would have to be something on a mass scale, just as the original three games were. We alongside Sony believe that the franchise just doesn’t have what it takes anymore to compete against a growing market of A-List Games. Our new franchise “The Order: 1866″ will impress our core fans and will bring in new fans, we still have an element of magic added into the game as well as other elements that will bring an entire new experience never before seen in a video game.”
Though it is upsetting to see that God of War will end, analysts agree with the decision as the series just can’t compete against games such as in Famous and Call of Duty. Santa Monica Studios didn’t mention if the series could return on the PS Vita at any point in time, another God of War game made by Red Dawn Studios could be in the works.
