God of War Multiplayer Back From the Dead? Leaked Screenshots Tease a Return to Greece

So that rumored God of War multiplayer thing? It was real, it was Greek, and it was Bluepoint... until Sony pulled the plug earlier this year. Sony still has not acknowledged the project publicly, but new images that surfaced make it pretty clear what it was going to be.

What leaked and what it points to

MP1st published screenshots from what they say was an early, in-progress build made at Bluepoint Games (yeah, the Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls remake studio). The images plant us firmly back in classic God of War territory:

• Grand Greek temples and ornate pottery
• Cavern systems that look built for traversal and arena-style fights
• An armory stuffed with shields and weapons, labeled in-game as Hades' Armory

Leaker SynthPotato also shared the shots on X on October 26, 2025, adding two key claims: the game likely took place before God of War III, and it was axed at the start of the year.

"Sony lost confidence in the long-term viability of this project and cancelled it in January 2025."

Timeline clues baked into the art

The Hades' Armory tag is not subtle. MP1st's source said Hades himself was meant to oversee the location, which would put the story before his death in God of War III. One image even shows the same armory in two states: a normal version and a version warped by a mysterious curse. That suggests some kind of environmental corruption mechanic or match-wide status effects were in play.

The live-service plan that never reached daylight

Internally, this was part of PlayStation's push into live-service. It never even made it to an announcement before it was cut. The timing tracks with Sony scaling back two live-service projects at first-party teams earlier this year; this unannounced Bluepoint title was reportedly one of them. Given how rough Sony's live-service experiments have gone — capped off by the failure of Concord — it is not hard to see why leadership cooled on the long-term prospects, even if these screenshots show real work was happening.

So where does that leave Bluepoint and God of War?

Bluepoint is not sitting around. Recent job listings say the studio has moved on to a new third-person melee action game. Pure speculation here, but if they hang onto those Greek assets, they feel tailor-made for a full remake of the original God of War — and that is exactly the kind of thing Bluepoint is trusted to do.

As for the franchise itself, the Amazon Prime Video series is in production. And Christopher Judge has said he would love the next mainline game to head to Egypt — not a confirmation, just where he wants Kratos to go next.

Bottom line: the multiplayer spin looked like a real return to the old mythic sandbox before it got shut down. Not announced, now canceled, but at least we got a peek at the road not taken. Where do you want the series to go — Greece redux, Egypt, or somewhere wilder?
