QuoteSony's Santa Monica Studio is hiring in a major way. The team wants to bring in upward of 50 people across all disciplines to work on their next big game for PlayStation 4. Their project is well into production, and they're hiring fast. So, why Santa Monica Studio?

Argh you beat me by a minute!

So is this a sign it's not releasing soon?

I hope not! I can't wait to get some more God Of War action!

I think its good that they're hiring. Shows they want to get their games out faster and that Sony still has lots of faith in them.

I think Santa Monica wanted to make sure their next game will work before going all out in its development. Basically, they don't want to have a repeat of Stig's game.

Depends on what you mean by soon, even at the earliest I think the game won't come out before march of next year. But SSM is already 200 people strong, so it is pretty interesting that they are seeking to hire upwards of 50 more people for their next AAA game, could mean that development is entering a more crucial phase now and that maybe (hopefully) Sony is just sick of all their studios missing dates as well.

So this could mean an E3 reveal from them will happen after all, then again, there's still that tweet.

God of War 3 was my first God of War; it was so so so good! Whilst most people are tired of them I want another one as I have no interest in playing God of War or God of War 2. I have no doubt SSM will push the benchmark on PS4 but there is really no need for this game to come out in 2016. Heck they do not even need Horizon so the devs can take their time for me. It must be announced at E3 though or we will have gone through 3 E3's with a Santa Monica game which is unacceptable to me.
