I'm not too familiar with mythology chronology. After Norse, is it still possible to go do Egyptian (Edit: Of course it's always possible to reboot it any which way, I'm just wondering if the timelines would make sense), or was Egyptian in an era before Norse mythology? Both sound rad though. I'd still like to see a dark Egyptian setting, whether it's God of War, or a different series.
It definitely would've been cool to have it in a non-white culture for a change.

Fuck that, Norse is so much better and there have been so little games with Norse mythology. Im glad they decided for the best choice
Why, just why. Nordic is so overused, they should've kept Egypt.
I am not well versed in these mythologies. What do we have in Egypt versus Norse? Thor vs. Gods of Egypt?
At least it would have looked less like The Last of Us, Horizon, and Days Gone this way.
AnubisI don't think anything is more rad than fighting Odin
Say they do go to Egypt next... what comes AFTER that? Greek, Norse, Egyptian Mythology.... are there any other "well known" mythologies?
Odin rides the eight-legged horse Sleipnir. Sleipnir is the son of Loki - Loki is the mother. Norse mythology isn't considered strange because the general public is only exposed to the sanitized version. It's just that lots of the goofy and strange stories don't get told. Other things like Dwarfs, Elves, and Dark Elves all come from Norse Mythology.Egypt from what I know (and I know nth about Norse, lol) is a bit more gruesome and strange. But that may be because I often associate Norse with Santa Claus and Trolls. :")
I'm personally looking forward to their take on the Jörmungandr.
I read this so many times as a kid:
Japanese Gods, Aztech, hell even Indian would be interesting.
Kratos vs. All the Mythologies would be interesting. And when Kratos runs out of Gods they can all be revived and then he must fight every single one of them at once.
Yeah, you don't really want to do that with extant religions, especially if it's meant to be a game for a mass audience. And it's ridiculously easy to screw up with religions as complex as Hinduism - just look at Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.The problem with Indian Gods would be that the religion is still pretty alive and kicking. While Hindus are kinda nonchalant in general, you can't have Kratos fighting and killing Gods of 1 billion people.
The new Sony has no gamezThe hell is this? lol
I dont know... Anubis is a pretty rad god.I don't think anything is more rad than fighting Odin
Only the greates fucking gods evaaar!!!
I preferred Egypt initially, but honestly, after thinking about it, we haven't really had a lot of Norse mythology in games either (besides a few names or stereotypes of vikings here and there).
Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is that mythological Egypt would probably be too reminiscent of mythological Greece, given that they are both Mediterranean cultures. The Norse setting is a large enough departure to be interesting from an environmental art perspective, and thematically Kratos seems to fit nicely as well.
According to the original script by David Jaffe and Cory Barlog the series is supposed to take place in all 3 regions: Greece, Egypt and Scandinavia. If they still follow it, the next part of the saga will be set in Egypt after Kratos is finished in Scandinavia. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter if Scandinavia is before Egypt.
So Týr vs Anhur:Have they said the "big bad" would be Odin? Otherwise the norse god of war is Týr.
Can we get Kratos vs the Aztec Gods of Fitness and Gains instead? Would be the dopest crossover yet
