Santa Monica Studio, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1999 and employs approximately 370 individuals. Functioning as an entertainment provider, the company specializes as an American video game developer.
On March 16, 2026, the God of War series observed the 16th anniversary of one of its initial releases, with discussions noting its status as a popular franchise and the potential for a remake. Previously, on March 10, speculation indicated Santa Monica Studio might be developing a new God of War game that features Faye, Kratos's late wife, as the main character. This follows the release of version 1.007 patch notes for *God of War: Sons of Sparta* on March 9, which introduced several changes. Earlier, on March 4, a GameGPU report detailed fan division over a potential Faye-centric *God of War* spin-off, alongside creator Cory Barlog's public dissatisfaction with the Amazon TV series and a confirmed focus on Loki and Freya as future protagonists. These discussions emerged shortly after March 2 reports suggested Santa Monica Studio was prepared to shift the lead role in the *God of War* universe to Faye, Kratos’ wife.
