Barlog recently left SCEA for unknown reasons. He was a keynote speaker at ECAROcon 2008 in Syracuse, NY. In an interview with website Mega64 he announced that one title he is working on is an adaptation of the fourth Mad Max film, titled Fury Road. At that time, he also stated that God of War III was in development and should be just as great as the first two, even though he was no longer working on it with SCEA. He was reported to be at Sweden to develop the title with Avalanche Studios, best known for the Just Cause series.
