Sony has revealed to 1UP.com that Mr. Angry himself - Kratos - is currently being prepared for a third home console God of War outing, this time on the PlayStation 3. The announcement came at the same time it was confirmed that God of War director Cory Barlog is leaving the company:

"We can confirm that Cory Barlog, game director for God of War II, is leaving the SCEA SM Studios and we are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise," said a spokesperson for Sony.

"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."

Understandably there were no firm details on God of War's first next-generation outing, but we'll keep you posted.
