A CD Projekt Red dev says that Cyberpunk 2077 was "just a warm up", as development on the sequel begins. Now in a new office, narrative director Igor Sarzyński says that the team is going to "kickstart" work on the next game, which is currently known as Project Orion.
Could The Next God of War Be A Woman?

No, this is not another woke idea. It’s not clickbait. And no, it’s not meant to be controversial. Stay with me, and I’ll convince you why having a woman as the protagonist of a God of War game (after Ragnarok) would be a great idea.
Could Young Kratos Defeat Old Kratos?
Recently, I’ve been replaying Uncharted Lost Legacy (another PlayStation-exclusive title). It’s a game that takes place in the same universe as the previous Uncharted games but allows the series protagonist, Nathan Drake, to enjoy his retirement and instead focus on two female character leads, Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross. In my review of the game, I commented on how I realised that I didn’t actually miss Nathan Drake. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the smart-aleck adventurer just as much as the next person, but the two new heroines in Uncharted Lost Legacy brought a fresh take to the franchise.
Of course, this made me think: What if one of the most masculine gaming franchises out there decided to include a female protagonist? What if the God of War himself was joined by a battle-hardened, playable female character? What if the next God of War introduced a heroine to accompany Kratos and Atreus on their adventure? What if the next God of War was a woman?
Wait! Before you, all go full God of War on me. Hear me out.
Looking Back Now, God of War Ragnarok Should Have Been A Lot Better
If you have played the latest God of War games (which many believe are the best games on the PS4 and PS5), then you would be aware that, although Kratos is still the always-pissed anti-hero we all love, his anger is tempered by the responsibility and love he feels towards his son, Atreus.
This change had angered some fans of the franchise earlier on in development. But, personally, I can understand how a child can completely turn your world upside down, even if you are an angry warrior. Atreus’ introduction allowed players to see a more emotional side of Kratos.
If the father and son story is to evolve and expand in the next game, it might be a great idea to introduce another hero. Perhaps it would be a good idea to introduce someone who can become the matriarch of the group, someone who can show Atreus the less angry side of life, but that can still be just as dangerous as Kratos, should the situation call for it. Maybe it’s time for a woman to be the next God of War lead.
God of War 6: Exciting Theories About The Next Game
God of War has already hinted at the existence of multiple realms, each compromised of various different pantheons of gods. From Egyptian to Japanese mythology, these have all been teased in the games in some way or another.
One little Easter egg from the 2018 God of War game is a symbol called the Triskele, which has appeared throughout

Will the Next Mario Title Be Massively Larger Than Super Mario Odyssey?
Because we’re in a “waiting period” for Nintendo to hurry up and announce its next system, we’re going to be hearing all sorts of rumors and speculation about any and all video games that may be coming to the system at launch and close to it. This speculation has already affected The Big N as their stock prices have risen in anticipation of all that’s coming. But we’re talking about all this today because of a rumor concerning the follow-up to Super Mario Odyssey. Most agree it will likely be the launch title for the Switch successor, and one “insider” says it’s way bigger than you think.
