Half-sequels are becoming more common due to the extended development time of modern AAA games. The demand for advanced graphics and expansive game worlds means games take longer to create. Half-sequels provide a way to maintain player engagement between major releases. Sony has previously released half sequels, like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Infamous First Light. These games are smaller in scale but continue the story of the original title, offering players a standalone experience.

Gamers are open to half-sequels, realizing they’re not just add-ons but substantial content during extended development gaps. Some fans are hoping for a standalone God of War game featuring Atreus. There have also been rumours of the franchise taking on Egypt next. While more games adopt the new half-sequel trend, it is likely that we see this more in upcoming games.

In the end, it is important to note that all this information is still just rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt. Will all the information that is available, what are your thoughts? Solo Atreus? Solo Kratos? And where will the next location be?
