What if SMS next project is a reimagining of Twisted Metal? Or they go deeper into the vault with something like Everquest lol?

Ashlong has said before that he was "unsure" of how people would react to Santa Monica's next game. Jason Schreier has said that while its not an original IP, it will feel like one, and I can't imagine an Atreus spinoff doing that. 

Pretty sure Everquest doesn't belong to Sony. I don't think it ever belonged to SIE when the studio was owned by Sony.

BUT a Twisted Metal? I could see it... could be like their take on the Mad Max game with both on-foot and vehicular combat.

An Atreus game would fit both, because I certainly don't want one, for example, and it would definitely not feel like GoW without Kratos.

I sure hope it ends up being some other IP and not a third GoW...

Their main game should always be GoW but branching teams should definitely try something else.

I dunno. This is like saying Uncharted can't work without Drake and Lost Legacy proves it can as long as it's related to the source material enough. I think they've done enough to establish Atreus as a character (even being playable in Ragnarok). And his story has a lot more forward momentum going for it right now than Kratos' post-Valhalla DLC.

Maybe as an open-world based game (no realm hopping), making it more RPGish like Dragon Age Veilguard while retaining the combat style, I think can open up a lot of possibilities.
