I think Santa Monica will throw everyone off. Everyone is expecting kratos to visit one pantheon next but what if he visited multiple. Kratos now being the god of hope as revealed in Valhalla could mean he next embarks on a mission to save humanity from malevolent gods in multiple realms. Atreaus’s mission to save the giants could also see him visiting multiple realms or maybe being kidnapped by his Greek ancestors forcing Kratos to return home.
Honestly for me I would love to see Egyptian Myth I think the sand dunes of Ancient Egypt would be a good refresher from The Fimulwinter covered Midgard and it’d be awesome to see the animal headed Gods and Goddesses of Egypt
@@akaalisbenjamin2093as much as I'd love to see those weird gods slayed I don't think even kratos is strong enough to tolerate the smell of those lands
I feel like Egyptian pantheon and Japanese history have been explored recently with other games (Assassin’s Creed, Ghosts of Tsushima) a game with Mayan/Aztec background would be sick to explore
For sure, and I think Mayan myth in general isn't explored much even outside of video games. It would be awesome to see that mythology come to life in God of War
See Kratos square up against Quetzalcoatl calling him out "World Serpent got beef with you!" He kill his grand papi CRONOS the fuckin king of the titans and time so why not?
I just hope Mimir and Freya join us. Their stories feel incomplete and bring so much to the whole experience, from the narrative to the general gameplay experience. I find the best addition is making downtime funny/interesting rather than just silence or repetitive music while searching the map Yes, they could just recreate the same thing with an Egyptian character but it'd feel derivative of Mimir unless they changed it quite significantly
While mimirs head is cool, I'd love it if they just gave him a humanoid golem body via magic, it's not unreasonable. I can't see them keeping him as a head on kratos' hip for another game.
@@ATthemusician the issue with that is I don't want two people to follow Kratos at all times. Mimir deserves legs but I think it'll have a negative impact on the gameplay. If Mimir gets a body it'll be Mimir or Atreus or Freya and not the three at one time like we have currently. Kratos' isn't the talkative type so we need someone the auxillary characters can talk to freely regarding lore, locations, comedic relief etc. Kratos is becoming more human and empathetic but definitely not to the point where he'll joke around with everyone like Mimir currently does. Kratos' can be a funny character but it's rare we see that and that's what makes it so great. We don't want him turning into a Marvel hero and spitting out one liners every minute.
From gamers and marketing standpoint they will go in ancient Egypt direction. If somehow, some way they decide to go to Mayan direction it will be literally HUGE as this is like area that no one has ever explored. There are lots of myths and legends about Alien interactions and ancient history. If done right it will be mind blowing…Literally!
I think the Mayan direction will give the dev team more freedom with how they explore the gods, myths, and legends compared to the other 2. Like you said, Mayan mythology has barely been explored while Egypt has a flooded market and the Japanese myths have been getting more known through games, manga, and anime. The Mayan direction would be a lot more colorful and brutal gameplay wise.
@@djholidaytv414 no but they are similar to the new gow games, I think Egypt, Mayan, African and Japanese can be the best way to go but tbh I don’t want them to milk this franchise like assassins creed😂 I do hope they remake the old ones cos Greek will always the best.
Egyptian, Chinese, and Japanese have gotten a lot of attention in other media. For a change of pace, I'd like to see an African, Native American or South American pantheon. There's a lot there to work with that doesn't get hit up much. The only one that's really hit up much of that was one season of Disney's Gargoyles and two episodes of Static Shock.
While it would be interesting, no doubt they also need to consider what is gonna sell more. Are people gonna be more hyped to see Kratos fighting Ra, Susano'o, or Quetzucotal. Or are they gonna be as excited for lesser known gods. This isn't me saying they shouldn't go with some lesser known pantheons. I'm just saying from a profit standpoint outside of Greek and Norse Mytholagies that the next most well-known are Egyptian, Shinto, and Mayan. I repeat, I am not saying Africa doesn't have a large mythos. I'm saying that not many know about it, and while yes, I agree God of War could help expand who knows about it. The question is, will it sell? And while you might say yes, you'd buy it for sure it could be possible 10 other people say no because they wanted one of the 3 big names I mentioned to see Kratos with a Katana, Kobesh, or the Aztec blade I don't know how to spell.
We've seen Egyptian environments but not so much their gods. That's what I would want to see. And yes, Asian stuff has been beat to death from top to bottom. It would just be another one to throw on the pile for the fedora wearing nerds.
What’s intriguing is that the journey is depicted to end at the Mayan area, which could also mean that Kratos might die in the franchise at that point.
If Kratos goes to Egypt then perhaps Atreus will go to one of the other lands/mythologies shown in Tyr's temple. I could totally see him learning new magics and skills in ancient Japan, fighting evil Yokai, and meeting the Shinto Gods there. Seeing if they know the whereabouts of his fellow Giants and or help him find them new bodies.
I really think it might be the Japanese pantheon they'll explore. Outside of all the story hints and the spectacular last fight with Tyr with the Katana, Sony is a Japanese company and GOW could be an even bigger giant in gaming if it attracts more eyes from especially Japan, a cultural phenomenon
I really hope they have at least one game with Atreus. Maybe a spin-off “God of Mischief” game, where Atreus has a diverse few weapons similar to Kratos.
Yeah and remembering their past lives and learning what Kratos did to them, they’ll take revenge. Maybe launch an attack on the nine realms that results in the deaths of many people close to Kratos such as Freya and Mimir and others, thus bringing back the old Kratos who’ll awaken and show the Roman gods why they should be afraid of him.
Aztec would be the most interesting to me. It's so rare to see that pantheon and those myths depicted in pop culture at all, let alone a game as big as GoW. We'll see a dozen other games using Egyptian or Japanese myth, but Aztec would be a rare treat.
I honestly think they will come in the order they are shown in Try's storeroom, meaning Egypt is next. But, I'm hoping for Japanese more. Egypt had so much gods, it would definietly take 3 or more games to fetch out. On the other hand, Japanese cold come in package with Chinese and Budhism myths as they had a great influence on it and are also have presence in Japan.
If you think the number of gods in Egyptian mythology is a problem, then they sure as hell can't do Japanese. Japan made a god or spirit out of damn near everything. The sheer number of names theyde have to depict dwarfs most mythologies by a LOT. They'd have to whittle it down so much, we'd only be seeing a fraction of whats there.
I don’t think Japanese mythology would suit kratos tbh, it’ll look weird. Egypt is perfect as it reminds me of the old gow games, especially ascension😂
I vote for Egypt simply because they can link it to Greece both historically and geographically. Egyptian myth is so ancient and Assassin Creed failed miserably in exploring Egyptian history prior Alexander the Great (not alone the pantheon itself). Also, they can later transfer Kratos to Mesopotamia which is more ancient and can be linked to both Egypt and Greece as well. Japan is the least appealing option since it is well-presented in modern media. If they must go for Asian myth, they should consider India or China. Generally, I prefer more "local" pantheons at this stage
It would be quite incredible. My guess is Sindri will be seeking ways to get back at Kratos and the Norse pantheon. So he'll try to strike a bargain with the Egyptian powers and get in too deep. Or be a recurring antagonist to Atreus, on his quest to find more Giants. And their struggle will ultimately land them in Egypt, in which he will need Kratos's help.
Realistically it has to be a setting both known to players somewhat and the culture not minding having their gods killed so that leaves just Egypt I guess.
No, Týr uses a Greek shield & spear called Dory, a Mayan club called Macuahuitl, an Egyptian dual-wield sickle called Khopesh, and a Japanese sword called Katana.
It'd be crazy if tyr was the next big bad. Him Only helping kratos to take the throne in valhalla to sacrifice himself later on on purpose to gain access to the higher plane.
They need to do Japan an have him fight the first black samurai and make that the sword tye had in Valhalla, as that would be how we explain why the black samurai Yusuke still has his actual sword when yiy fight him.
If they do Atreus spinoffs then they could always split the choices between them. I wouldnt mind visiting Rome and using it as a way to explore Kratos's actions. Having the Roman pantheon being young gods who are reborn versions of the Olympus pantheon would be a cool hook.
Egypt has me the most intrigued, but Japan or Mayan centered games would be awesome as well. I think a Celtic game would look too similar to the recent installment so i doubt kratos ventures there next...but really tho, what ever is decided im sure its going to be an awesome game
If they did that they would sink the franchise I definitely ain’t buying it. They would have to have him in wars in the old testament like with the nephlim or fallen angels or help nuke sodom and gamora, the caininites.
Great audio mixing, pleasant narration, great video editing, all 10/10. But clickbait title was misleading, so 9/10 overall. Very good production and some real insights to be had, though, so I'm still glad I watched.
It would be cool to see Kratos visit Oceania and interact with the ancient gods of the Pacific Ocean. I don’t think any franchise has touched on that mythology yet.
The Alfheim Desert really makes me feel like Santa Monica is trying out a "what could be" an Egypt desert biome in the game. Also the light elf enemies are very feudal japanese like with those weapons.. and Vanaheim very much could be the jungle in Aztec mythology.. And when Kratos entered the Greek realm in Valhalla, Mimir was replaced with Helios while he was in forest, maybe teasing the Gaelic mythology! Maybe that one could become a comic series, but who knows!
I hope the next gow game takes place in Aztec mythology. Because there are already plenty of examples of Egyptian and Japanese myths and people's expectations are based on these two concepts. However, there are not many examples of Aztec mythology and it contains a lot of things that can be consumed, and there will be a difference because it will be beyond expectations.
I know it will probably never happen, but given the proximity of the two pantheons, I'd love for Kratos to visit Finland and interact with the Gods of the Suomenusko faith. The story could revolve around Lempo plotting something.
For sure to see him, battling the giant of the underworld and Egypt, like Anubis, and also see him fight the giant dragons of China and the clay Warriors and the samurai legends of Japan would love all of those❤
I know one of the comics had Kratos in Egypt, and an old man he talked to was revealed to be the Egyptian God of wisdom afterwards, talking with Athena
I personally would love to see yaldabaoth make an appearance of some way shape or form, it could definitely tie in with the mask from ragnarok and Athena’s spectral projection in previous games.
I think mayan, Egyptian and Japanese are the ones he will travel to because they are all mentioned and hinted at many times in the games and if he doesn't go there, then what's the point
I was just thinking this the other day while watching the Ragnorak Valhalla playthrough. I was thinking what other culture has enough multiple gods to make more GoW games and immedietly thought Egyptian mythology. Honestly it wouldn't be a bad idea.
I dont know why, but the Egyptian Pantheon just doesn't do it for me .The desert would be too similar to what we already had in ragnarok,im sure they can still make it fun, but I think they may venture elsewhere before they do,it would just make sense imo.
I don’t want them to milk this game like Assassin creed tbh. I’d says just stop it here and let kratos chill. I do want them to remake the old ones though.
I just hope Anubis and Osiris is not the main villain, there are 1 thousand known Egyptian gods that Egyptian worship so you can pick any of them as a main villain. The main villain in Egypt mythology is Apep/Apophis the evil god of chaos!
I know it was not hinted at all, but honestly the places I’d love to see in terms of mythology are Iroquois, Russian, Polynesian, and honestly any African country besides Egypt. I feel like Africa is never explored in videogames in a cultural sense.
I think it’s been pretty clear where the series was going next after the Norse saga. I mean they even made a comic after the Greek saga which had Kratos go through Egypt on his wash to Scandinavia. Kratos has a history with Egypt. And Sony Santa Monica has left countless breadcrumbs to let us know we are going to Egypt next.
Bro fuck off we've already had too much sand games one after another and kratos has already been to Egypt already in that comic what's the point of him going back Japan mythology makes the most sense
We had vengeance in Greece. Acceptance of who he is in norse. Acceptance of the Monster he was and his new role as the god of hope in the valhalla dlc. The next story can be about forgiveness and redemption, like how he tried to get Thor to be better for his daughter, and kratos is trying for his son. If this is the theme for the next game, then japanese or Mayan might be the best.
Got to be Egypt or Japan.. The others are just not going to be quite as visually amazing i dont think. Egypt would be the best.. but SM like doing things people dont really 'expect' (want) haha
Celtic mythology seems most likely if the next game continues with Mimir. If there's a backward time jump, then Egypt (Kratos may have travelled to Egypt before his Norse times). Forward time jumps could involve Japan or Aztecs with some magic elements of magic for him to travel the distance.
With how many pantheons they've hinted at, it'd be interesting to see multiple. If you think about it, these other pantheons are shitting bricks, kratos not only wiped out the entirety of the Greek pantheon, he also killed the All father and many others. They would probably view him as a threat. It'd be interesting to see a hierarchy of pantheons take place as well, or like a big war between them because they're scared of being conquered by the god of war.
Ive been hoping that Kratos would eventually not be the main character, or a second series is started like "God of Mischief" or something like that where Atreus is the main character and the game returns to a combo-focused hack'n'slash with the classic GoW camera. With a seperate spin-off IP we could get some Kratos focused plots, maybe even one that returns to Greece, and then with Atreues we could explore the other Pantheons in their lands while looking for Giants who traveled overseas to excape Odin.
With Valhalla, I think Ragnarok and Kratos being the new throned god of war to ensure peace and order among realms will serve as the foundation block to all upcoming sequels.
Tbh I think that the 3 mythologies seen in Tyr's temple are each going to be a single game, which may be represented by the small size of each of those 3 mythologies on the overall painting. I also think that it will be Tyr who incites Kratos to travel to these realms and that we may start learning of the origin of the Mask from GoW Ragnarok. Odin as Tyr did say that the Mask was the reason why Odin captured and tortured him, and if Odin did that to Tyr it would mean he expected Tyr to have some knowledge about it. And the only reason Tyr would be the only god who Odin would think knows about the Mask is because Tyr is the only god, as far as we know, to have actively travelled to and learned from other pantheons. So what I think is going to happen is that Kratos and Tyr will at some point touch upon the subject of the Mask and it will be the trigger to Kratos' journey to the other pantheons. And since Kratos will only be visiting each of the pantheons with a single goal in mind rather than to settle there, it would make sense for each one to be a single game.
This is 100% not happening, stop fandomizing. The game ended perfectly with Ragnarok. All the egyptian/japanese stuff in tyrs vault only forshadowed the types of weapons tyr uses in Valhalla! All his weapons were from different cultures like egypt, greece and japan, that's all this is! There is not a single piece of solid evidence that says there will be a 3rd game when they've already ended the story and explained the culture depictions in tyr's vault. Nor has 1 developer/person ever said a 3rd would happen A 3rd game would be overkill and a simple money grab, they've already covered every single aspect of the previous games and wpuld have to start a complete new story on the 3rd game of this trilogy???? That will absolutely not happen
I think it would be really interesting to go into the Roman mythology, him going back to his home land with gods are very similar but also very different.
The Greco Roman gods are the exact same gods, just the names are different. Kratos killed them all already, Greece is permanently destroyed, it’s in pure chaos.
I think the future entries in GoW will be about Atreus. Kratos has his place in the world now as the God of Hope. An adult Atreus search for Giants could lead him to Egypt.
I'd love to see Kratos going in another region of the world of course, but not necessarily fighting gods. What if he instead found someone doing exactly what he did to Greece ? A God/Demi-god angry against his kind, trying to take them all down, and Kratos would have to stop him throught the game, with of course other antagonists. That would be cool imo, to have someone who matches Kratos's strenght.
Also tyr talked about sparta aand how they still speak of the ghost of sparta while they rebuilt so could he visit his land once more on his way to Egyptian or japan mythology or maya that would be dope.
In the game they say magic is tied to the land its from I really hope that doesnt mean mimir is gone next game cause he cant leave the 9 realms. I assume they'll just blow over it and pretend nothing is wrong or there will be some weird exception like well if freya is the magic source and she comes it's all good
I feel like everyone wants and expects Egypt, I think doing Mayan would be sick and unexpected. If they do Egypt, everyone will be like awesome as we expected. I hope Santa Monica throws us off and gives us the unexpected so it doesn’t burn out as fast. Doing Egypt after will be much more refreshing after not getting what we wanted
Bro fuck off we've already had too much sand games one after another and kratos has already been to Egypt already in a comic Japan mythology makes the most sense
Egypt would get my vote for the next iteration, possibly as a prequel to Gow 2018. So, we'd get to see what happen to Kratos on his way to Scandinavia. Though, I don't know the canonical time line thats written into the lore(comics). I wouldn't at all hate if they went chinese/Japanese either though as the lore and mythology of those cultures are so rich of character.
Well, nothing says we are getting the next game this upcoming year, is it? Could be another 2 or 3 years away. Depending on if they decide to overhaul the game mechanics since fans will likely wanna keel Leviathan and the Blades so the Spear will have to go to make room for a new weapon. Or 3. They would have to really work on how it plays and the style they use. Honestly, it wouldn't feel bad to me if they did as it kinda shows each mythos has its own style of combat. Granted that would probably make the game take longer but I'd say it would be worth it.
Are you on drugs? There's already a comic where it shows us what kratos was doing before he arrived in Norse mythology and he was in Egypt already in that comic ur just misinformed Japan mythology makes the most sense next
It’s not really that interesting… I would accept it as a few hours dlc game like Valhalla, if Santa Monica going to develop a new God of War then they better be staying with Kratos Atreus didn’t awe me and it wasn’t the same feeling like it is with Kratos on Ragnarok
I know we're Egypt-bound with GOW, but I prefer the characters go to Japan instead. Much more to work with than Egypt. There're plenty of gods to kill, even more monsters to slay, and add on top of that you get ninjas and samurai.
As a massive fan of Japanese anime (such as Naruto) I would love to see more of the Japanese pantheon. Naruto hints at it but doesn't elaborate as it's not part of the show's remit. However, I've never read or seen anything about the Mayan pantheon so that would be super novel and interesting for me! While the ancient Egyptian pantheon would be very interesting it feels like a bit of a broken record and has been covered extensively in films like the 'Mummy' and 'Gods of Egypt'. It also feels too similar to the Greek pantheon given that the ancient Greeks were influenced heavily by the ancient Egyptians. I'd like to see other pantheons within the African continent. For example, I know there's a rich number of stories from the Yoruba culture in Nigeria. These deities are still celebrated today in places like Brazil. Even the Starbucks logo is based on the Yoruba deity called 'Yemọja'. Nonetheless, I have every confidence that Santa Monica studios will make the right decision.
Out of all weapons tyr took out the katana with the instrumental was emphasized more plus it was the hardest and last fight , another thing that might not be related but in Ghost of Tsushima there’s a GOW Reference and Skin
I think Santa Monica will throw everyone off. Everyone is expecting kratos to visit one pantheon next but what if he visited multiple. Kratos now being the god of hope as revealed in Valhalla could mean he next embarks on a mission to save humanity from malevolent gods in multiple realms. Atreaus’s mission to save the giants could also see him visiting multiple realms or maybe being kidnapped by his Greek ancestors forcing Kratos to return home.
I could see him fighting Seth
That be pretty goddam epic ngl
@@legendsonmobile6827 perhaps he ventures to other lands with Mimir to establish diplomatic relations with the gods there
or what if other pantheon gods become paranoid and they go to Scandinavia to kill Kratos in hopes he doesn't kill them too?
Yeah hé took tyrs role as god of war again. Not (hope)
Honestly for me I would love to see Egyptian Myth I think the sand dunes of Ancient Egypt would be a good refresher from The Fimulwinter covered Midgard and it’d be awesome to see the animal headed Gods and Goddesses of Egypt
Can't wait to see him have a buffet slaughter of the endless & infinite currie Hindhu pantheon🙂
Could maybe introduce a plot involving Serapis, who was a greek god introduced into the Egyptian pantheon by the Ptolemy's

The idea of Kratos adding a flawless Japanese katana to his arsenal and fighting a Japanese dragon makes me geek my boxers a lil bit.

Yes i agree. Love Mimir and Freya. They must join Kratos, no matter where he goes..
I honestly loved Mimir lack-of but interest in Greek culture from Kratos stories. So to see his reaction to other cultures would be a treat.

@@aadn. yea after Ragnarok he does deserve his own game similar to how the Spider Man did Miles Morales.
Calling it now: Aphrodite has relocated and is hanging out with Hathor, settling into Egypt
Mimir going back to Celtic lore makes sense for Atreus as well in his hunt for the giants. Plus it doesn't have to discard Norse mythos to do so.
Imagine if they did the Roman gods as a re-awakening of the Greek gods but in a different form.
Yeah and remembering their past lives and learning what Kratos did to them, they’ll take revenge.

I've read somewhere that the next god of war is going to be a spinoff w atreus as the main character and his journey
It'd be crazy if tyr was the next big bad. Him Only helping kratos to take the throne in valhalla to sacrifice himself later on on purpose to gain access to the higher plane.
They need to do Japan an have him fight the first black samurai and make that the sword tye had in Valhalla, as that would be how we explain why the black samurai Yusuke still has his actual sword when yiy fight him.
Really hoping they consider Japan at some point
If they do Atreus spinoffs then they could always split the choices between them.
I wouldnt mind visiting Rome and using it as a way to explore Kratos's actions. Having the Roman pantheon being young gods who are reborn versions of the Olympus pantheon would be a cool hook.
Good thought! Would love to see Roman myth in a GOW game
Egypt has me the most intrigued, but Japan or Mayan centered games would be awesome as well. I think a Celtic game would look too similar to the recent installment so i doubt kratos ventures there next...but really tho, what ever is decided im sure its going to be an awesome game
Good call!
I can’t wait to see him fight Christian bible characters
😂😂😂😂😂💀💯💯💯 take that, Jesus! 😅
So cool
Not gonna happen
If they did that they would sink the franchise I definitely ain’t buying it. They would have to have him in wars in the old testament like with the nephlim or fallen angels or help nuke sodom and gamora, the caininites.
A lot of people would be offended if that ever happened
Great audio mixing, pleasant narration, great video editing, all 10/10. But clickbait title was misleading, so 9/10 overall. Very good production and some real insights to be had, though, so I'm still glad I watched.
It would be cool to see Kratos visit Oceania and interact with the ancient gods of the Pacific Ocean. I don’t think any franchise has touched on that mythology yet.
Honestly, I think that would be my preferred setting for the next game in the GOW series.
The Alfheim Desert really makes me feel like Santa Monica is trying out a "what could be" an Egypt desert biome in the game.
Also the light elf enemies are very feudal japanese like with those weapons.. and Vanaheim very much could be the jungle in Aztec mythology..
And when Kratos entered the Greek realm in Valhalla, Mimir was replaced with Helios while he was in forest, maybe teasing the Gaelic mythology!
Maybe that one could become a comic series, but who knows!
Kratos is gonna travel to different realms like Týr! Im SO excited!🎉😁😁😁
🔥🔥🔥
If you think about it when Kratos was training with tyr used weapons from each myth to attack kratos meaning he will follow that order.
Tyr having supposedly been to greece is interesting
I hope the next gow game takes place in Aztec mythology. Because there are already plenty of examples of Egyptian and Japanese myths and people's expectations are based on these two concepts. However, there are not many examples of Aztec mythology and it contains a lot of things that can be consumed, and there will be a difference because it will be beyond expectations.
I know it will probably never happen, but given the proximity of the two pantheons, I'd love for Kratos to visit Finland and interact with the Gods of the Suomenusko faith.
The story could revolve around Lempo plotting something.
Perkele as one of the main bosses
That's a great thought! I'd love to see something like that happen
8-15 hours of Kratos simping to Freya.
For sure to see him, battling the giant of the underworld and Egypt, like Anubis, and also see him fight the giant dragons of China and the clay Warriors and the samurai legends of Japan would love all of those❤
Sign me up for all that!
Mimir also hint at a sixth mythology "The Celtic" as Oberon his former master is King of the Fae and a key part of celtic mythology.
If the next mythology has been revealed, then why is it "well have to wait and see"?
Click bait
I know one of the comics had Kratos in Egypt, and an old man he talked to was revealed to be the Egyptian God of wisdom afterwards, talking with Athena
I personally would love to see yaldabaoth make an appearance of some way shape or form, it could definitely tie in with the mask from ragnarok and Athena’s spectral projection in previous games.
I think mayan, Egyptian and Japanese are the ones he will travel to because they are all mentioned and hinted at many times in the games and if he doesn't go there, then what's the point
Man I'm still sad about boulder
All these miths 1st the greek pantheon then the Norse mow talk of the Egyptian pantheon my question is when do we get to see kratos kill Jesus
Seeing kratos fight it out against a bunch of yokai would be f****** awesome.
For real!
Yes it's possible to be in Egypt
I was just thinking this the other day while watching the Ragnorak Valhalla playthrough.
I was thinking what other culture has enough multiple gods to make more GoW games and immedietly thought Egyptian mythology.
Honestly it wouldn't be a bad idea.
It's gonna be fun to see kratos fail at trying to not kill every god in whatever religion he goes to next
We may go to eastern mythology next, they’re very specific with tyr’s animations.
I dont know why, but the Egyptian Pantheon just doesn't do it for me .The desert would be too similar to what we already had in ragnarok,im sure they can still make it fun, but I think they may venture elsewhere before they do,it would just make sense imo.
Kratos visiting his
homeland, and dealing with some of his old enemies, like the berserkers would be quite good
I don’t want them to milk this game like Assassin creed tbh. I’d says just stop it here and let kratos chill. I do want them to remake the old ones though.
I just hope Anubis and Osiris is not the main villain, there are 1 thousand known Egyptian gods that Egyptian worship so you can pick any of them as a main villain. The main villain in Egypt mythology is Apep/Apophis the evil god of chaos!
Absolutely. Having Anubis and Osiris being the primary antagonists would be incredibly underwhelming
I know it was not hinted at all, but honestly the places I’d love to see in terms of mythology are Iroquois, Russian, Polynesian, and honestly any African country besides Egypt. I feel like Africa is never explored in videogames in a cultural sense.
Good thought! I especially like the idea of a Polynesian one.
If its Egypt I want to see him battle horus and set. If Japan obviously I want to see him battle asura
I want to see the Greek Mythology Games remade using the same Format the Norse Games used
I'd love to see God of War set in ancient Babylon. It's a mythology that hasn't been explored much in gaming.
I’d like to see him go into the Hindu pantheon and of the of ancient Sumerian pantheon with an, enlil and enki.
@@GlobalWave1
Exactly
I think it’s been pretty clear where the series was going next after the Norse saga. I mean they even made a comic after the Greek saga which had Kratos go through Egypt on his wash to Scandinavia.
Kratos has a history with Egypt. And Sony Santa Monica has left countless breadcrumbs to let us know we are going to Egypt next.
Bro fuck off we've already had too much sand games one after another and kratos has already been to Egypt already in that comic what's the point of him going back Japan mythology makes the most sense
Actually God of War 2018 was going to be Egyptian, there was a 50 percent chance of it happening but it ultimately changed to Norse mythology.
Maybe in one pantheon Kratos can visit spirits of his old family an in the second mimir gets back his body and in the last Freya can meet baldur
We had vengeance in Greece.
Acceptance of who he is in norse.
Acceptance of the Monster he was and his new role as the god of hope in the valhalla dlc.
The next story can be about forgiveness and redemption, like how he tried to get Thor to be better for his daughter, and kratos is trying for his son. If this is the theme for the next game, then japanese or Mayan might be the best.
Sounds like a pretty logical step for the franchise
Hear me out Celtic myth
Got to be Egypt or Japan.. The others are just not going to be quite as visually amazing i dont think. Egypt would be the best.. but SM like doing things people dont really 'expect' (want) haha
Celtic mythology seems most likely if the next game continues with Mimir. If there's a backward time jump, then Egypt (Kratos may have travelled to Egypt before his Norse times). Forward time jumps could involve Japan or Aztecs with some magic elements of magic for him to travel the distance.
I think a game in Egypt could be used to bring back the older gameplay style with a fixed camera and more hack and slash combat.
With how many pantheons they've hinted at, it'd be interesting to see multiple. If you think about it, these other pantheons are shitting bricks, kratos not only wiped out the entirety of the Greek pantheon, he also killed the All father and many others. They would probably view him as a threat. It'd be interesting to see a hierarchy of pantheons take place as well, or like a big war between them because they're scared of being conquered by the god of war.
Ragnarok was already cramped enough and the whole Norse saga should have been a trilogy. Why have everything in one game?
2:42 you see the Anubis figure in , a god with shakal face
What if the three wisemen are the 3 Gods of War? Kratos, Tyr, and Anhur?
Ive been hoping that Kratos would eventually not be the main character, or a second series is started like "God of Mischief" or something like that where Atreus is the main character and the game returns to a combo-focused hack'n'slash with the classic GoW camera. With a seperate spin-off IP we could get some Kratos focused plots, maybe even one that returns to Greece, and then with Atreues we could explore the other Pantheons in their lands while looking for Giants who traveled overseas to excape Odin.
I know it's a popular mythology, but I still really want to see Egyptian mythology next. The others would be great, but Egyptian would be fantastic.
Absolutely. I really hope Egyptian myth is heavily considered again
With Valhalla, I think Ragnarok and Kratos being the new throned god of war to ensure peace and order among realms will serve as the foundation block to all upcoming sequels.
Kratos should fight YaHWeH & hindu deities like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, bhima, parashurama etc.etc.
It would be cool to see him in ancient Rome. A new twist of the old gods he served.
Right? I would absolutely love to see that
Tbh I think that the 3 mythologies seen in Tyr's temple are each going to be a single game, which may be represented by the small size of each of those 3 mythologies on the overall painting. I also think that it will be Tyr who incites Kratos to travel to these realms and that we may start learning of the origin of the Mask from GoW Ragnarok. Odin as Tyr did say that the Mask was the reason why Odin captured and tortured him, and if Odin did that to Tyr it would mean he expected Tyr to have some knowledge about it. And the only reason Tyr would be the only god who Odin would think knows about the Mask is because Tyr is the only god, as far as we know, to have actively travelled to and learned from other pantheons. So what I think is going to happen is that Kratos and Tyr will at some point touch upon the subject of the Mask and it will be the trigger to Kratos' journey to the other pantheons. And since Kratos will only be visiting each of the pantheons with a single goal in mind rather than to settle there, it would make sense for each one to be a single game.
This is 100% not happening, stop fandomizing. The game ended perfectly with Ragnarok. All the egyptian/japanese stuff in tyrs vault only forshadowed the types of weapons tyr uses in Valhalla!
All his weapons were from different cultures like egypt, greece and japan, that's all this is! There is not a single piece of solid evidence that says there will be a 3rd game when they've already ended the story and explained the culture depictions in tyr's vault. Nor has 1 developer/person ever said a 3rd would happen
A 3rd game would be overkill and a simple money grab, they've already covered every single aspect of the previous games and wpuld have to start a complete new story on the 3rd game of this trilogy???? That will absolutely not happen
Also in the Valhalla dlc tyr uses weapons from all of those places as well
Loved that nod to the other mythologies he's been to
That Celtic mythology symbol is interesting
Truth be told, I'd rather the next villain be Oberon, the fairy king and Mimir's (Puck) former master.
I think it would be really interesting to go into the Roman mythology, him going back to his home land with gods are very similar but also very different.
The Roman gods and the greek gods are the same...
Same gods, just a different name. Kratos already killed the Greek pantheon, Greece is destroyed permanently, it’s in chaos.
The Greco Roman gods are the exact same gods, just the names are different. Kratos killed them all already, Greece is permanently destroyed, it’s in pure chaos.
I think the future entries in GoW will be about Atreus. Kratos has his place in the world now as the God of Hope. An adult Atreus search for Giants could lead him to Egypt.
More like God of Soy.
I'd love to see Kratos going in another region of the world of course, but not necessarily fighting gods. What if he instead found someone doing exactly what he did to Greece ? A God/Demi-god angry against his kind, trying to take them all down, and Kratos would have to stop him throught the game, with of course other antagonists. That would be cool imo, to have someone who matches Kratos's strenght.
That's a good thought. The developers are definitely shaping Kratos to be like what you mentioned.
To me it make sense to go to Egypt
Also tyr talked about sparta aand how they still speak of the ghost of sparta while they rebuilt so could he visit his land once more on his way to Egyptian or japan mythology or maya that would be dope.
In the game they say magic is tied to the land its from
I really hope that doesnt mean mimir is gone next game cause he cant leave the 9 realms.
I assume they'll just blow over it and pretend nothing is wrong or there will be some weird exception like well if freya is the magic source and she comes it's all good
I mean Kratos in samurai armour fighting Yokai would be unreal
Absolutely. Japan would be such a great location for GOW
I feel like everyone wants and expects Egypt, I think doing Mayan would be sick and unexpected. If they do Egypt, everyone will be like awesome as we expected. I hope Santa Monica throws us off and gives us the unexpected so it doesn’t burn out as fast. Doing Egypt after will be much more refreshing after not getting what we wanted
Bro fuck off we've already had too much sand games one after another and kratos has already been to Egypt already in a comic Japan mythology makes the most sense
Teal’c is back at it, killing Egyptian gods.
Was Tyr a fragment of Odin again? All a way for him to get to a higher place
It would be cool if he went to Japan, fighting someone with masamune, and the monkey king and stuff.
It would be a great way to enhance Atreus's magic through Egyptian mystery schools
Egypt would get my vote for the next iteration, possibly as a prequel to Gow 2018. So, we'd get to see what happen to Kratos on his way to Scandinavia. Though, I don't know the canonical time line thats written into the lore(comics). I wouldn't at all hate if they went chinese/Japanese either though as the lore and mythology of those cultures are so rich of character.
Agreed, only problem is we are getting one chinese mythology big game this year, maybe thats why they will focus on Celtic or Egypt
Well, nothing says we are getting the next game this upcoming year, is it? Could be another 2 or 3 years away. Depending on if they decide to overhaul the game mechanics since fans will likely wanna keel Leviathan and the Blades so the Spear will have to go to make room for a new weapon. Or 3. They would have to really work on how it plays and the style they use. Honestly, it wouldn't feel bad to me if they did as it kinda shows each mythos has its own style of combat. Granted that would probably make the game take longer but I'd say it would be worth it.
@@2495781 Yes sure, but if Black Myth becomes huge, then still God Of War Chinese would be little bit underwhelming
@worlddd7777 you say that, but let me point this out. With Chinese, we could face Sun Wukong. The Monkey King himself.
Are you on drugs? There's already a comic where it shows us what kratos was doing before he arrived in Norse mythology and he was in Egypt already in that comic ur just misinformed Japan mythology makes the most sense next
I think we’re gonna get a solo Atreus game finding all of the giants
It’s not really that interesting… I would accept it as a few hours dlc game like Valhalla, if Santa Monica going to develop a new God of War then they better be staying with Kratos
Atreus didn’t awe me and it wasn’t the same feeling like it is with Kratos on Ragnarok
I know we're Egypt-bound with GOW, but I prefer the characters go to Japan instead. Much more to work with than Egypt. There're plenty of gods to kill, even more monsters to slay, and add on top of that you get ninjas and samurai.
Kratos with a katana and one of those high-status top knots in Japan 😂
I'm here for Kratos vs. Sukuna
As a massive fan of Japanese anime (such as Naruto) I would love to see more of the Japanese pantheon. Naruto hints at it but doesn't elaborate as it's not part of the show's remit. However, I've never read or seen anything about the Mayan pantheon so that would be super novel and interesting for me!
While the ancient Egyptian pantheon would be very interesting it feels like a bit of a broken record and has been covered extensively in films like the 'Mummy' and 'Gods of Egypt'. It also feels too similar to the Greek pantheon given that the ancient Greeks were influenced heavily by the ancient Egyptians. I'd like to see other pantheons within the African continent. For example, I know there's a rich number of stories from the Yoruba culture in Nigeria. These deities are still celebrated today in places like Brazil. Even the Starbucks logo is based on the Yoruba deity called 'Yemọja'.
Nonetheless, I have every confidence that Santa Monica studios will make the right decision.
Gtfo with yo naruto🤣🤣🤣 and anime. If thats the reason u a fan of Japanse "culture" damn boi go read some Japanse history. Lol
It would be a fun Easter egg if Kratos has to kill Egyptian gods like Apostles. I would also love to see him go to Rome.
myan mythology would be genuinely epic although maori mythology would also be a very interesting take
Out of all weapons tyr took out the katana with the instrumental was emphasized more plus it was the hardest and last fight , another thing that might not be related but in Ghost of Tsushima there’s a GOW Reference and Skin
Yeah, I loved those references, especially the Bloodborne one from Ghost of Tsushima
I honestly think an Aztec/Maya themed game would go hard
Theyre moving off norse mythology too quickly. Greece saga had around 6 games, 2 were portable but yeah. At least one more wouldnt have been bad.
Imagine if the next GOW is a goddamned farming game
I would play the shit out of it.
