Team Behind God of War Hiring Multiplayer Programmer; For God of War 4 Online or Different Title?

In case you frequent my articles daily around here, you’ll know I’ve use the term “one of the most anticipated games” a lot. Just know my repetition comes with good reasons. This time the news about one of the most anticipated titles is God of War 4 or possibly a different game altogether. Santa Monica Studio recently put out a job listing for a Senior Multiplayer Programmer. Pretty standard right? Not quite.

The listing specifically states that this position is with the team behind the God of War games. So one would think this pertains to Kratos’ latest outing, God of War 4 (full title still withstanding). The only problem with that is at last year’s E3, we were told that this upcoming GoW would not have any multiplayer. Has Santa Monica Studio changed their mind or are they working on a separate, unannounced title?

Nothing else in the post gives away any details. For the most part it’s pretty cut and dry. Santa Monica Studios is seeking someone out with enough experience, expertise in certain areas, etc. You can view the job listing yourself below.

We’ve reached out to Sony for comment and we’ll let you know if we hear back. If this turns out to be a multiplayer aspect for the next God of War, it will join God of War: Ascension in that regard. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think God of War 4 will in fact have an online component? Or do you think this is for another game entirely? Let us know in the comments!
