God of War Game Tackles Egyptian Mythology?

by

Summary

  • Next God of War game may feature Egyptian mythology.
  • The next God of War has not been officially announced at the time of this writing.

Based on recent whispers, it seems the upcoming God of War game might delve into Egyptian mythology as its backdrop. Previous installments showcased Kratos battling the Greek gods, with the 2018 and 2022 versions focusing on Norse mythology in God of War and God of War Ragnarok respectively. Now that Ragnarok has concluded the Norse narrative, fans are eagerly speculating about where the God of War series will venture next.

At present, there’s no official announcement about a fresh installment in the God of War series. However, the narrative arc of Ragnarok concludes in such a way that suggests potential sequels. Given the tremendous commercial success of the God of War franchise, it’s more a question of “when” rather than “if” a new game will be released. While Sony hasn’t confirmed a new God of War, whispers point towards the next title possibly delving into Egyptian mythology.

As suggested by DanielRPK, Sony is reportedly recruiting Middle Eastern actors for an unspecified high-end game, rumored to be the upcoming installment in the God of War series that centers around Egyptian mythology. Fans of God of War have long hoped to see Kratos battle Egyptian gods within the games, and it appears their dream might come true if Kratos is indeed the lead character in the next God of War game. However, it’s essential to note that this is speculation, as the protagonist of the upcoming game has not been officially confirmed yet. Warning: Spoilers for God of War Ragnarok follow.

God of War Could Be Going to Egypt

God of War Ragnarok SPOILERS

In the finale of “God of War Ragnarok“, Atreus departed from Kratos to seek out the Giants. It’s plausible that his voyage could lead him to Egypt, where he might find himself squaring off against the gods of Egyptian folklore without his father’s support. A new “God of War” game centered around Atreus instead of Kratos would be quite risky, given the mixed response towards him, but it promises to be intriguing.

Previous whispers hint that the upcoming God of War game might not be as expansive as the 2018 release and Ragnarok. As for details on the project, they’ve been scant so far. Just like with any leaks, it’s wise to approach information about the new God of War with a heaping dose of skepticism. It would be prudent to hold off on getting overly enthusiastic until Sony officially shares updates on what lies ahead for God of War.

As a dedicated gamer, I can tell you with confidence that the latest God of War venture seems distinct from the one that met an unexpected end. Although nothing’s officially confirmed, there’s been some buzz suggesting that Bluepoint Games might have been developing a live-service God of War title. But alas, it appears Sony decided to shelve this project altogether.
