With God of War Ragnarok having ended the series’ Norse mythology saga, we’ve been wondering for a while what mythological setting the next instalment will head to. We may now have an answer to that question.
Known insider Daniel Richtman has claimed in a report on his Patreon page that the next God of War game features an Egyptian mythology setting. As per the leaker, Sony is currently casting Middle Eastern actors for an unannounced AAA action-adventure title, which is likely the next God of War game.
This would be far from the first time an Egyptian mythology setting has been broached by the developers of God of War. Early on during the 2018 reboot’s development, Egypt was strongly favoured, before the team decided to settle on Norse mythology. Meanwhile, following the reboot’s release, director Cory Barlog suggested that the series could head to Egypt next.
Of course, leaks have claimed that Sony Santa Monica is currently working on a new IP, which might be the project that the aforementioned Barlog (who took a backseat for God of War Ragnarok) is leading. What that would mean for the immediate future of God of War is unclear.
