We also get glimpses of various assets that would have littered the areas of the game, like pots, as well as a location that could seemingly change its appearance.<\/p>\n<p>In one image, a place supposedly called Hades&#8217; Armory would look different when in a &#8220;cursed&#8221; state. The outlet reports all these environments are quite wide and open, owing to the fact they&#8217;d need to accommodate multiple players.

It was supposedly scrapped as a result of a &#8220;recent review&#8221;, and in the aftermath, Sony would work &#8220;closely with Bend and Bluepoint to determine what are the next projects and plan to do everything we can to ensure there is minimal business impact&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Bluepoint Games has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/10\/sonys-bluepoint-studio-recruiting-for-third-person-melee-action-game\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recruiting for positions<\/a> with experience in &#8220;third-person melee action&#8221; games. &#8220;Work alongside animation, character artists, vis dev, level design, engineers, etc to design enemy and boss-type characters and refine engaging combat systems and mechanics,&#8221; the job advertisement revealed earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>As for the returning Greek setting, there&#8217;s speculation the time period will still make a comeback in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/06\/god-of-wars-rumoured-metroidvania-now-due-in-2026-on-ps5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 2.5D God of War game<\/a>.
