I played God of War 3 and God of War Chains of Olympus (PSP) and loved that style!
Santa Monica Studio has 24 open positions for their unannounced game, which seems to be a new God of War

Atreus’ stages were without question an absolute killjoy. Ragnarok would’ve been a better game if that was all cut. Ruined the pacing of the game and honestly his gameplay was … boring. Doesn’t help that he’s totally unlikeable too.
An Atrues spin-off … no thanks. I loved both those games but I’d nope the frick out of that instantly.

GoW Ragnarok was good but I didn't feel good about the direction they took things with the IP, seemed like they rushed it.
After seeing the responses here for my desire to have an Atreus spin off, I do apologize for my shortcomings. I do not wish that pain on any of you. For my punishment, I will go back and play only the Atreus parts of God of War Ragnarok on Story difficulty and pretend to kiss the girl, thinking of biceps and taints.

Love it and I actually think both styles should exist. GOW 3 BTW imo was the most epic and has the most epic boss fights in any game.
Santamonica is held as high regard in Sony internally, due to high quality, consistency in upgrades, and taking budget seriously.
It was shown in the Behind the Scenes, they were talking about not going over-budget as an important path to success.
Also we shouldn't act like all the PS Studios didn't double or even triple over past 4 years. They PS studios have still increased headcount by alot, since they're main franchises hit probably (Returnal, DeS remake, GoW reboot, Horizon, Ghost, Spidey, etc.)

I just hope they make sure to have a plan from the get-go and we don;t end up with another rushed game, like GOWR.
No way God of War: Ragnorok was a masterpiece, it wasn't rushed for me, I tried to do everything in a area more so often, so I got really used to the game, and the story was quite long. Rushed isn't how I would describe it personally, every realm had so much detail and secrets.
Game play wise, no. Exploration, weapons, enemy variety, world, and locations are all an improvement.
But the story is rushed. A lot of plto points are either dropped or rushed through to the conclusion. Cory wanted the game to be a trilogy when the first game was made but decided to go with two games because "he didn't want players to wait for another 5 years to see the story end.".

I've already said this on Reddit, so may as well put it here, too:
I hope people here are smart enough to understand they might just be looking for people who "understand" "how" SSM make games. Mentioning God of War doesn't necessarily imply they're working on a new one, but referring to it as a design philosophy.
