Every mythology eventually demands a new chapter, and the God of War franchise stands at one of those thresholds — its past being carefully restored through remakes while its future takes shape in rumor and anticipation. Sony's June 2nd State of Play has become a focal point for fans who sense that the next story, perhaps one centered on the enigmatic Faye, may be closer to announcement than the silence suggests. Whether the reveal arrives in June or drifts toward late summer, the deeper question is what kind of hero — and what kind of myth — the series chooses to tell next.
