A circulating image shared by an industry insider has reignited speculation that Sony’s God of War franchise could make an appearance at The Game Awards 2025, though no confirmation has been issued and expectations remain tempered.
The annual awards show, scheduled for Dec. 11, is expected to feature a range of new game announcements. In recent days, rumours have intensified across social media, with talk of potential reveals spanning Tomb Raider to Star Wars. The latest discussion was triggered by an X post from user @elesnicho, showing artwork that fans believe resembles elements from God of War.
The image includes what appears to be a skull decorated with part of Kratos’ signature red tattoo. The original article noted: “In this image, it is possible to see an element that does not escape fans of God of War.” The visual cue has led some followers to believe the franchise will be referenced or featured at the ceremony.
Unverified reports over recent months have suggested that the next instalment of the series could shift to an Egyptian setting, potentially pitting players against deities from that mythology. Santa Monica Studio, the developer behind the franchise, has not commented on the rumours.

As anticipation builds, industry watchers caution that the image may not signal an imminent game announcement. If the franchise does appear at The Game Awards, it remains unclear whether the reveal would relate to a new title, a television adaptation or another side project.
For now, speculation continues as fans wait to see whether the ceremony will shed light on the future of God of War.
