Sony has confirmed the cancelation of two previously unannounced live-service PlayStation games. This follows a round of canceled live-service games for the PlayStation 5, and it was also confirmed that one of these live-service games was a spinoff.

As spotted by Polygon, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier first reported that Sony was canceling live-service games from in-house developers Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games.

The DLC left hints for future stories but was mostly an epilogue for Kratos' journey across both games. Developer Sony Santa Monica Studios announced its focus on new IP, but a possible Atreus-focused spin-off was rumored.
