Glauco Longhi's LinkedIn Profile Hints at a New IP

A Sci-Fi Game?

Glauco Longhi, a character artist and developer who worked on God of War (2018) and Ragnarok, recently updated his LinkedIn profile. His new entry reveals he's returned to Santa Monica Studio to oversee character development for an "unannounced project." His description emphasizes his role in "Supervising/Directing Character development...and also helping the studio to continually push and raise the bar on Character Development for videogames."

This, coupled with previous statements by Cory Barlog, creative director of the 2018 God of War, that the studio is working on "a lot of different things," and their recent recruitment efforts (including a character artist and tools programmer), strongly suggests a significant new project is underway.

Speculation is rife that this new project is a sci-fi IP, potentially spearheaded by God of War 3's creative director, Stig Asmussen. While Sony's trademark of "Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet" earlier this year fuels this theory, no official confirmation exists. Past rumors of a cancelled PS4 sci-fi project from the studio further add to the intrigue. The pieces are there, but the full picture remains a mystery.
