David Jaffe—the creator of God Of War and Twisted Metal—has revealed that his new project is a single-player horror game.
The new details, though brief, extend on the earlier information that he is aiming to create a short, story-focused title. Jaffe shared the news on Twitter, alongside mentioned that he is trying to do something different with storytelling in games:
I'm designing/writing something new these days. It's a single player, horror game that is attempting something new with in-game storytelling and I am in love with it.

He also admits to being scared that people will not like the game and has no idea how the reception will be, but he will show the game at a later, undisclosed date. For the time being, no one has yet had the chance to see the pitch, so Jaffe has no interest in it yet.
I have shown NO ONE what I'm working on. And thus I have no funding and no interest in the project.
When I DO show the world,it MAY be that everyone hates it and no one wants to make it.
Or it may become the next big thing.
At this stage, I don't get to know. 2/3

Jaffe’s last game, Drawn To Death, was a paper cut-out arena-shooter that got mixed reviews (siding more on the negative end).
For his work in writing and character development for God Of War 2, Jaffe won a BAFTA Game Award for best story and character.

The best of luck to him ! The guy is no-nonsense brutality-loving maniac. If he was still at the helm of God of War we would’ve never gotten that boring touchy-feely embarrassment of a God of War game. God of War is about testosterone-filled plunge into madness and motivated vengeance, a tale about a man who is just THAT too stubborn to die and in the end is alone worth of the entire world. Awesomeness in the flesh.
Here’s hoping that horror game is angry and pissed off. We need more of that.
