The highly anticipated God of War III is now only a few weeks away, but fans hoping further entries in the bloody franchise will follow quickly are in for a disappointment. God of War III director Stig Asmussen doesn’t want to see future games churned out in rapid succession.
“I think there comes a time when to maintain a high level of quality… the bottom line is you can’t get burned out, and the source material can’t always be the same,” Asmussen told 1UP. “I want God of War to be one of those games where if there are more God of Wars, we’re seeing them spread out over time – it’s not like our studio’s making a new God of War every two or three years or something like that, and then the series becomes irrelevant.”
He added that he’d support the idea of letting the franchise rest for ten years before returning to it.
“Then when it comes back, it’s fresh and you remember why you loved that game so much,” he explained. “I think it would be good at this point to take that approach with God of War… For a trilogy, it’s great. Let’s put it to bed for awhile though.”
It’s hard to imagine Sony would allow one of its strongest properties to remain dormant for a decade, but it seems fair to assume we won’t be seeing another God of War in the near future.
