Sony Reportedly Working On God of War Game Based On Egyptian Mythology

Expert Verified By

Sony Hiring MIddle-Eastern Actors For The Project!

Story Highlight
  • A new leak suggests Sony is hiring Middle-Eastern actors for a new AAA title. 
  • The report points to a new God of War game that explores Egyptian mythology. 
  • It could potentially be a prequel to the Norse era that ended with God of War Ragnarok.

God of War: Ragnarok marked the end of the franchise’s Norse mythology era. A new report now suggests a brand-new setting, as the next God of War game reportedly explores the Egyptian mythology. 

According to a job listing, Sony is hiring Middle-Eastern actors for its next AAA project which has been slated as the next God of War game. 

Why it matters: Santa Monica originally considered it an Egyptian setting, when the franchise was revived in 2018. So, this isn’t the first time we have heard about the move to the Middle East. 

God of War Greek Saga
The next God of War could introduce Egyptian Mythology to the franchise.

DanielRPK shared on Patreon that Sony is searching for Middle-Eastern actors, possibly hinting at a God of War game set in Egypt. This would also make sense considering it starts a new era for the franchise

God of War 3 FT
The Egyptian setting was also considered in 2018 with the franchise’s revival.

The earlier games explored Greek mythology, which was then shifted to Norse, and now it’ll head into another new direction. The report doesn’t reveal any further details whether Kratos and Atreus will return, or anything else regarding the plot. 

Nevertheless, take this news with a grain of salt as neither Sony nor Santa Monica has confirmed anything. However, Sony recently canceled a God of War live service project, so a new mainline game does make sense next.
