God of War Director Cory Barlog Angered by Faye Game Leak

God of War director Cory Barlog publicly reacted after a tipster identified as NateTheHate posted details about a rumored Santa Monica Studio PS5 game focused on Faye, Kratos’ late wife.

The leak describes the title as centering on Faye and shifting toward more action-focused gameplay than recent God of War entries. It also claims the game will include settings drawn from several mythologies, including Chinese and Egyptian, and that an official reveal could arrive this year with a target release in 2027. The tipster has previously posted accurate early information about another high-profile franchise.

Barlog engaged with the online conversation by reposting a user comment and adding, “I totally support that.” Barlog is credited on God of War Ragnarök and has been linked to a new project since the 2018 God of War reboot.

Sony and Santa Monica Studio have not confirmed the leak or announced a reveal date. Game publishers often coordinate announcements around industry events and company showcases; early leaks can change how studios plan those reveals.

Responses from fans have been mixed. Some users expressed interest in a Faye-led story and new mythological settings, while others noted the absence of screenshots or gameplay footage and said they would wait for official material to assess the project.

At present, the only verified facts are that the leak circulated under the NateTheHate account and that Cory Barlog reacted publicly. Further details and any official announcement must come from Santa Monica Studio or Sony.
