Summary
According to the latest rumors, the nextGod of Wargame may finally feature an Egyptian mythology setting. The originalGod of Wargames saw Kratos take on the Greek pantheon, while the 2018God of Wargame and 2022’sGod of War Ragnarokwere all about Norse mythology. WithRagnarokbringing an end to the Norse mythology setting, many fans have been wondering what’s next for theGod of Warfranchise.
No newGod of Wargame has been announced at the time of this writing, butRagnarok’s story ended in a waythat leaves the door wide open for sequels. And considering the massive sales success enjoyed by theGod of Warfranchise, a new game is a matter of “when” and not “if.” Sony has not actually announced a newGod of War, but if rumors are to be believed, it seems as though the next game will be themed after Egyptian mythology.
According to DanielRPK, Sony is actively casting Middle Eastern actors “for an unknown AAA game” that is “likely” the nextGod of War, which will focus on Egyptian mythology.God of Warfans have wanted to see Kratos tackle Egyptian gods in the games for years now, and it seems they may finally be getting their wish. Of course, that’s assuming Kratos is the protagonist of the nextGod of War.Spoilers forGod of War Ragnarokfollow.
God of War Could Be Going to Egypt
God of War Ragnarok SPOILERS
TheGod of War Ragnarokending saw Atreus leave Kratos to search for the Giants. It’s possible that Atreus' journey will see him reach Egypt and force him to go head-to-head with the gods of Egyptian mythology without his father’s help. AGod of Wargame without Kratos as the main character would be a huge gamble, especially sinceAtreus has had a mixed reaction, but it would be interesting.
Previous rumors about thenextGod of Wargame suggest that it may be smaller in scalethan the 2018 game andRagnarok. Otherwise, there hasn’t been much leaked about the project. And like with all leaks, fans should take any claims about the newGod of Warwith a massive grain of salt. It’s best to wait for an official announcement from Sony aboutGod of War’s future before getting too excited about what may be in store.
Presumably, this newGod of Warproject is completely separate from the one that was recently canceled. While unconfirmed, it’s been suggested that Bluepoint Games was working on aGod of Warlive-service title, only for Sony to ultimately scrap the project.
