^ Sony are hiring across the board and expanding their SIE studios. Its the same with Insomniac etc.

I definitely would expect that amount of hiring for Insomniac because the studio just has so many projects, but Santa Monica takes at least 5 years before releasing their next game. Hopefully it's for a future project then that Cory Barlog is working on.

With Ragnarok being the end of the Norse story, I personally would love if Santa Monica takes GoW into Egyptian mythology next!

Since Cory is busy with another game they are probably gearing up for that and most likely another God of War game after Ragnarok. Maybe they want two teams on full production working on games. Iirc Insomniac have two full teams, and so do Naughty Dog. They (SMS) have around 250 employee's atm. Insomniac 400+, ND undisclosed but they hired out a lot of studios for TLOU 2. I'd assume they are pretty big too.

But yeah backing a winning horse especially after the big success of GoW (2018) wouldn't do much harm one should think.

For the next GoW.. I'd also love that, I really like the ancient egypt setting.. and going by the first game its a high possibility that could happen. Another one would be ancient Japan. Though with Ghost of Tsushima that's kinda already covered xP
