1UP has received word from Sony that SCEA Santa Monica game director Cory Barlog, famous for his work on God of War II, is to leave the studio to pursue other opportunities. However, Sony remains confident in the God of War team.
“We can confirm that Cory Barlog, game director for God of War II, is leaving the SCEA SM Studio and we are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise,” said a Sony spokesperson. “Moving forward, we are confident in the God of War team, as they are an extremely talented group of people that are passionate about the franchise and dedicated to creating even more epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3.“
As you’ve probably already spotted, the Sony statement also confirms the development of God of War III. It’s no secret that the game is in development, but this is the first time the platform holder has explicitly mentioned the title.
