- The next God of War game is reportedly set in Greece.
- Kratos is expected to wield a scythe in the game.
- The God of War trilogy remake is expected to bridge the gap heading into the new entry.
Aside from remaking the original God of War trilogy, Santa Monica is also working on a brand-new mainline entry.
The next God of War game is reportedly headed to Greece, returning to the series’ roots. Moreover, Kratos is also expected to wield a scythe in the game.
Why it matters: The God of War Greek saga ended more than a decade ago, and fans have been divided over the Norse saga. They’ll be excited to see the series return to its roots now that Kratos’ character has completely evolved.
On Insider Gaming’s weekly podcast, Tom Henderson briefly talked about the next mainline God of War game. He dismissed the earlier rumors of the next game taking place in Egypt and stated the following:
There are a lot of rumors about Egyptian mythology, but I have a feeling we’ll go back to Greek. Maybe that’s why they’re remaking the original trilogy.
This lines up well with Santa Monica’s decision to remake the first 3 games. The studio seemingly wants to introduce the newer fans to Kratos’ original story. As such, the remakes could bridge the gap leading up to the new release.
Further in the podcast, he said that he expects Kratos to wield a new weapon in the next mainline entry.
Someone’s also told me about that there is like a scythe in the game as well as the weapon i talked about previously.
Previously, the insider also mentioned Kratos wielding an Egyptian Sword, so this could be him reaffirming his earlier claims. How the Egyptian sword will be connected to Greece is unknown.
At the end of God of War Ragnarok, Kratos was titled the God of Hope, a far cry from what he used to be. After purging the Greek realm of the Olympus gods, it’ll be exciting to see what journey brings the Son of Sparta back home.
Currently, the God of War trilogy remake is in early development, so expect this next mainline game to take some time and possibly be even released in the next generation.
Before that, however, the game’s director, Cory Barlog, has a secret AAA project planned for next year.
