Rumor Suggests Next God of War Could Dive Into Egyptian Mythology

It’s been nearly three years since God of War: Ragnarok wrapped up Kratos’ Norse saga, and fans have been eagerly speculating about where the franchise will head next. Now, a fresh rumor suggests that Egyptian mythology could be the backdrop for the next mainline entry, bringing an entirely new pantheon and setting for Kratos — and potentially Atreus — to explore.

🏺 Kratos May Wield an Egyptian Sword

According to a reputable insider, the next God of War will feature Kratos wielding a “curved Egyptian sword.” While no official details have been confirmed, this weapon is speculated to resemble a scimitar or the ancient khopesh. The presence of such a weapon strongly suggests that Kratos’ next adventure may unfold in the deserts and temples of Egypt.

🌍 Why Egypt Makes Sense

Fans have long requested Egypt as a setting, and interestingly, Santa Monica Studio originally considered Egypt for the 2018 reboot before ultimately choosing Norse mythology. Hints toward Egyptian lands have appeared throughout the series:

• Tyr wields dual khopesh swords in the Ragnarok Valhalla DLC.

• Artifacts referencing Egypt have appeared in both recent titles.

• The comic God of War: Fallen God explicitly depicted Kratos in Egypt between the Greek and Norse eras.

With this groundwork, an Egyptian saga seems like a natural evolution for the franchise.

👥 Will Atreus Take the Lead?

One lingering question is whether Atreus will step into the protagonist role after the conclusion of Ragnarok. Kratos could remain central as a mentor or supporting character, while Atreus’ journey drives the story forward in the next era.

⏳ Still Years Away

The rumored Egyptian setting has fans buzzing, but it’s important to remember that the next God of War is still years from release. Until Santa Monica Studio makes an official announcement, fans can only speculate about what’s next for Kratos, Atreus, and the gods they’ll face.

For now, the idea of battling alongside Kratos with a khopesh in hand has reignited excitement for the franchise’s future.
