1UP shares the glum news that God of War II game director Cory Barlog has left Sony Computer Entertainment America. A Sony spokesman released a statement with the news; in addition, the statement inadvertently revealed that SCEA is working on God of War III for PlayStation 3.
"We can confirm that Cory Barlog, game director for God of War II, is leaving the SCEA SM Studio and we are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise.
Moving forward, we are confident in the God of War team, as they are an extremely talented group of people that are passionate about the franchise and dedicated to creating even more epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3."
Considering that God of War and its sequel earned plenty of cash, SCEA is not letting that franchise go to waste. But other key people, who worked on the game series, are leaving SCEA too. Back in July, David Jaffe left SCEA to start his own studio. Jaffe, much like Barlog, contributed heavily to the God of War series.
