Will God of War and For Honor cause a resurgence in AAA hack and slash games?

Not hack and slash games sadly, hopefully the next Ninja Gaiden is going to be like Ninja gaiden 1 and 2

How?

How? Both games seem to have hack and slash gameplay. Different from the norm, but that hardly means its not a hack and slash game.

 

Going by that definition  - you can say The Legend of Zelda is a hack and slash just because you can hack and slash with a blade.

Zelda has never been one though, God of War has always been one.

There will probably be even more weapons that play differently, if you've played any God of War game before.

Its just changing the core gameplay, not moving to a different genre from what I've seen.
