I didn't write this! Just want to share it and see if you guys think that the God of War series needs to stop and they should move on to something else. IMO hell no it shouldn't stop. The games are fantastic and have some of the most epic moments. A franchise should never stop as long as it is successful and brings something new and fresh everytime.

God Of War has plenty of history to show why it’s still successful today. The formula works, the graphics are great, the gameplay is addicting and fun, and the games are excessively violent. But with God Of War: Ascension set to launch soon, one has to wonder, how far is this series going to go? Wasn’t God Of War supposed to be wrapped up with the third installment?

 

Seeing as Santa Monica Studios, the company behind God Of War, is a first party developer, the case here is most likely similar to that of Halo. The marketing potential and past sales simply outweigh the potential for fan backlash. The company has a formula down, and as long as it continues to sell and is enjoyed, why not keep pumping out the titles?

God Of War I and II launched on PS2 in 2005 and 2007, respectively. The series wrapped up in 2010 with God Of War III. There were two PSP titles, Chains Of Olympus and Ghosts Of Sparta, that were later put together and ported over to the PS3 in the God Of War: Origins Collection. Since then, we’ve received an announcement and a trailer for God Of War: Ascension, along with a mention that, for the first time in the series, will feature multiplayer.

Assuming God Of War: Ascension isn’t a flop, the series will most likely continue. I’d be shocked if there’s no Vita God Of War game, and the series will likely continue right into the PS4. How remains yet to be seen, Kratos’ story is pretty much done. But as big as God Of War is, it’s probably not going anywhere soon.

 

Definetly, Ascension is too much anyway. It just trivializes the whole franchise
