The recent job listings from Santa Monica Studio indicate that they are actively seeking talented individuals to join their team for the development of an unannounced title. The positions they are looking to fill include an engineering manager, a senior producer, a senior technical artist, and a senior environment concept artist. The job requirements for the senior environment concept artist emphasize the ability to create realistic and believable fantasy-based props, architecture, and natural landscapes, both in 3D and 2D.
While the job listings provide strong evidence that Santa Monica Studio is working on a new game, the studio has not yet disclosed any specific details about the unannounced title. Speculations range from a sequel to God of War Ragnarok, which could further explore unanswered questions surrounding Kratos’ son Atreus, to a potential return to one of the studio’s previous franchises, such as the racing game Kinetica. Another possibility is that Santa Monica Studio is embarking on an entirely new intellectual property, forging a fresh path for their creative endeavors.
