Forums - Sony - Job Postings Hint At Sony Santa Monica (God of War Team)'s Two New Projects

So, we know from previous statements made by Sony Santa Monica that they're working on two new projects, one for a more immediate release and one a few years out.

Recently, however, Sony put up a bunch of job postings for the "God of War team" that give us some insight in to what they might be building.

The first two postings point to something that sounds a lot like an action adventure game with puzzles, navigation challenges, and platforming, not unlike God of War.

The third posting points to either a God of War sequel/genre successor getting some very new features, or points toward a new series that's rather different.
