- God of War’s next title reportedly features elements from Chinese and Japanese mythology.
- The game is said to feature Faye as the protagonist, but Kratos is expected to still make an appearance.
- An official announcement regarding this title is right around the corner, according to recent reports.
The next God of War title is said to be taking a different approach from past entries, leaving behind Kratos as the main character in favor of his wife, Faye.
As PlayStation’s rumored State of Play draws near, anticipation of an official announcement regarding this title continues to grow steadily, and new reports have only added to this excitement. It is now said that PlayStation is experimenting with multiple mythologies in this game.
Why it matters: Many expected God of War to focus on Egyptian mythology moving forward, but the series seems to be headed in a completely different direction.
According to a report from MP1st via Reddit, God of War is set to incorporate elements of Chinese and Japanese mythologies in the next title.
What makes this report so interesting is that the series has typically stuck to a single mythology in the past, with the two eras of the IP focusing on the Greek and Norse mythologies.
How Santa Monica plans to merge Chinese and Japanese mythologies in the next game remains a mystery for now, but the report does suggest the team is trying something different for the series.
Elsewhere, it is said that the title features a talking sword companion named Merlin. Kratos’ appearance in the next game has also been mentioned, but the extent of his role remains a mystery for now.
Multiple insiders have discussed the possibility of Santa Monica Studio making an official announcement for the title soon, so fans won’t be waiting too long to learn about the different mythologies featured in the next God of War title.
Till then, excitement for the series’ recently announced remakes remains high as fans continue to have high hopes for what comes next.
