This.
Also, although I'm not a huge fan of the series, I'd love to see God of War explore new mythologies - but I'd rather see Sony tackle underrepresented ones, like Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec or something. As awesome as Norse mythology is, it's been portrayed quite a few times already.

Norse Mythology?
That makes the eventual Kratos as main character pill much easier to swallow.

I hope it's both; he's killed all the Greco Roman Gods On Mount Olympus now it's time to take on Valhalla and all the religions of the world.
Logical extension of the franchise culminating with an ultimate Jesus throw down.

This guy(s) has been teasing a God of War 4 leak all day, not sure if reliable https://twitter.com/Nerd_Leaks

I say no to this. I think God of War is a great beat em up with an interesting setting, however I found Kratos to be too blood thirsty to have a good story. He just blames everybody for something he did out of rage and goes on a killing rampage. I think they can pull off a much better story if they leave Kratos behind them. I think game story telling has come a long way since the original God of War.
Just my opinion, but ill likely buy God of War 4 either way.
Please don't let the protag be bald. Or have short generic hair.
Let them (he or she) have flowing locks. Show me the true next gen of hair.
It would suck to get glitched and be stuck at punching his face

Dropping Kratos could be the shot in the arm the franchise needs

I hope we play as Týr and you get your hand bitten off in the beginning of the game and get it replaced with a weapon. Or they could just make up a character.

This is the best rumor I could possibly hope for... :')
How do people not realize this he is the God of War he is the main character and he is very popular they are not going to change him.

I knew I would get something out of those Thor movies

Was hoping for a new mythology. Now just leave Kratos out of this and I'll seriously think about getting this.
Lemme get some Bathory tracks up in there.

Make it poetic and dark (not just violent).

Who's ready for the twist that your helpful guide is actually Loki in disguise and the main antagonist?

Hmm "Beard" is the word. Definitely not Kratos.

Great choice. Now either reinvent kratos or replace him with an entirely new character.
Oh my god(dess), I didn't know until now how badly I want to play a game like this.
Just finished GoWIII Remastered last night, probably my fifth or sixth playthrough in total, so I am super pumped for a new GoW. Norse mythos is perfect. Give me a new take on Kratos or a neewcharacter, I don't mind either.
GoWIII's ending sets up a lot of ways they could change him a bit after the release of Hope. I could see a situation where he's trying to settle down in a new land and the ghost of Athena conspires to turn the new gods against him.

I'm tired of God of War but my interest may yet be rekindled with a new setting and characters. (New MC is a must.)
I mean, Halo 5 has you only have what, 3 playable levels as Master Chief? Switching or changing up popular heroes isn't that unprecedented.
Certainly not getting Shepard back in Mass Effect 4 either.
There's no good reason to drop Kratos.
The god of war working his way through time and countries opens up the whole series to so many new ideas, and lets them keep the iconic character and name.
I'd bet Kratos staying.
Now, changing up the weapons and the gameplay? That makes more sense.

Thank you for saying that the story isn't done, because it clearly isn't. Been saying the same thing for a while now. Not sure if people even saw the after-credits scene.
