There are details that support the theory that the next God of War would be in Egypt
The epic God of War saga has taken Kratos to challenge the most powerful entities of mythology. From the titans of Olympus in the first titles, to the Norse gods of Asgard In the last two installments, God of War has shown us the great conflicts of the Ghost of Sparta throughout its existence. Now that a little more has passed two years since its launch on consoles and this year God of War Ragnarok will come to PC, fans are beginning to wonder if in a while we will see it again another title in the franchise.
Among many of the requests that followers have made over the years since This new saga began in 2018there is one that has caught the attention of many and that is to position the protagonist in the land of pyramids and pharaohs, where he would face the most relevant gods of Egypt. Considering the plots of the latest games, the rumors and clues given by the studiothis would not be such a crazy idea and here we will tell you more.
The Gods of Egypt would be a new challenge for Kratos
After the latest releases, it is possible that Kratos look for a new challenge elsewhere, as it has been confirmed that there will only be two God of War titles set in Viking culture. The director of the saga, Cory Barlog, has stated that the gods that Kratos will face in the future They will depend on where you are and that this would be the beginning of a series in which the God of War would be involved in other religions in addition to hedeism and Norse mythology.
“After this one, maybe we'll see 'Kratos' in the Egyptian, Mayan or other eras” – Cory Barlog.
In addition to this, a while ago a clue was revealed which hints that the next God of War would be based on Egyptian mythology, while on several occasions it has been mentioned to the Egyptian Gods in the God of War games, such as the following:
- God of War (Game-2005): Ares has a fight against Poseidon next to the Lighthouse of Pharos on an Egyptian coast.
- God of War II (Game-2007): When the God Hermes was exiled, he had to go to an Egyptian oasis.
- God of War – Ascension (Game-2013): There is a reference to someone who died when Kratos travels to the Oracle of Delphi, a message says “Pharaoh's land”.
- God of War – Fallen God (comic series – 2020): Thoth, the Egyptian God of wisdom and knowledge, manifests himself through creatures and appears directly in the story.
- God of War (Game-2018): Egyptian treasures such as a scarab, a pschent, and the staff and flail appear in the vaults of the Temple of Týr. On the other hand, Mimir mentions that Egypt is very far from the Nordic lands.
- God of War Ragnarök (Game-2022): The Ankh of Egypt is one of the treasures stolen by Midgard.
- God of War Ragnarök – Valhalla (DLC-2023): Týr uses two khopesh, a weapon originally from Egypt.
Also, in the maps of God of War Ragnarök – Valhalla you can see the pyramids of Egypt looming in the distance like a wink, although it is not known if it is to the comics or to the future of the saga.
This makes the theory that the next video game is much more accurate than many think, since officially the territory of the Egyptian Gods exists in the God of War universe and is known as the Land of the Pharaoh or the River Empire. With its imposing temples and secret tombs, it would be an impressive environment to explore, as Kratos could sail the Nileclimb pyramids and discover new mythological creatures like Ahopis himself Of Egipt. At the same time, the setting would offer a visually rich experience full of opportunities for exploration.
Although it has not yet been confirmed possibility of a God of War in Egypt, the idea has captivated followers and has become a hotly debated topic in the community. However, for now we just have to wait for let developers show details about the next installment of the saga.
