While Sony Santa Monica has officially confirmed that it is developing the future of God of War, fans have speculated about the direction of the series since November 2022. After more than three years, unconfirmed reports suggest a new installment without Kratos as the main character. TheMorse, a member of the rGodofWarRagnarok subreddit known for discovering details about Ragnarok within 2018’s God of War game files, has returned with new information. TheMorse’s findings point to a God of War game set in Egypt, starring Atreus. This speculation aligns with a Sony Santa Monica job posting seeking an expert in the combat design of 2018’s God of War, which suggests the studio may be building upon those established mechanics.

Atreus in Egypt? God of War’s Potential Shift and New Protagonist Reveal

According to TheMorse’s findings, God of War: Ragnarok files contain a secret cutscene featuring a hooded figure (labeled “Robed Figure”) speaking in Greek, saying, “The white snake will devour you.” Additionally, TheMorse reports discovering dialogue from another scene in which Atreus walks with an entity named Mau, who only says its name, but Atreus seems to understand. Given that “Mau” is Egyptian for “cat”—a form associated with the Egyptian god Ra—this may further indicate that Atreus will be the protagonist of a God of War game set in Egypt. Adding to this speculation, an insider named Ashhong claims to have information about Santa Monica’s upcoming God of War project, suggesting that the game will not be a brand-new series or a licensed property. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has stated that Ashhong’s information appears credible. The claims from TheMorse and Ashhong support the possibility of a God of War game set in Egypt, which has been circulating for years. More recently, actor Christopher Judge alluded that the next God of War might be viewed as a new IP, even though Kratos may not be the protagonist, according to sources.
