Glauco Longhi's LinkedIn Profile Hints at Sci-Fi

Glauco Longhi, a character artist and developer who's worked on both God of War (2018) and Ragnarok, recently updated his LinkedIn profile. He's rejoined Santa Monica Studio to oversee character development for an "unannounced project." This cryptic update has sparked significant interest among fans. His profile states he's "Supervising/Directing Character development on an unannounced project, and also helping the studio to continually push and raise the bar on Character Development for videogames."

More Fuel to the Fire

Adding to the excitement, Cory Barlog, creative director of the 2018 God of War reboot, previously mentioned the studio was working on "a lot of different things." Longhi's profile, coupled with recent job postings for a character artist and tools programmer at Santa Monica Studio, suggests the team is expanding for a significant undertaking.

Speculation and Previous Rumors

Rumors of a new sci-fi IP from Santa Monica Studio, potentially helmed by God of War 3's Stig Asmussen, have been circulating. While unconfirmed, Sony's trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" earlier this year further fueled this speculation. Past rumors of a cancelled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio also add to the intrigue. Only time will tell what this mysterious project truly entails.
