Going into the PS5 games showcase event, one of the big rumored games was the God of War sequel, presumably in development at Sony Santa Monica Studio. Unfortunately for PlayStation fans, the PS5 event came and went with no sign of God of War, but a new rumor suggests that the wait to see Kratos's next adventure will be shorter than some may have expected.

According to YouTube Channel Moore's Law is Dead, Sony decided to hold off on revealing God of War for PS5 until after Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase. Citing an unnamed source, Moore's Law is Dead believes that Sony will be revealing the new God of War PS5 game at some point in August, with it set to have photo-realistic graphics. Apparently, the God of War PS5 release date is slated for fall 2021, so it would be Sony's big holiday game for next year.

As for what God of War on PS5 will entail, that remains to be seen. It's possible that God of War on PS5 will feature Thor as the main villain, or it may have players confront other Nordic Gods instead. Hopefully rumors about a PS5 games showcase event in August turn out to be true so God of War fans can learn more about the new game soon.

This isn't the first time we've heard of Sony having a PS5 event in August. Previously, rumors have indicated that Sony plans on hosting a State of Play-style event to showcase PS5 games on August 6, though Sony itself has yet to confirm or deny any such plans.

Besides the God of War PS5 game, another big game rumored for the Sony event is none other than the Silent Hill PS5 exclusive game. First leaked months ago, the Silent Hill PS5 exclusive was expected to be at the PS5 games showcase event, only for it to come and go with no mention of the title. However, the game has been leaked by reputable industry insiders and is supposedly far along in development, so the reveal is expected to take place sooner rather than later.

If fans are lucky, Sony may even use the August event to reveal the PS5 price and release date, but fans should keep their expectations in check. It's possible that Sony doesn't plan on having a PS5 event in August at all, let alone one that is going to have such a big announcement as God of War on PS5.

God of War 2 is rumored to be in development for PS5.
