Poll Which mythology should the next God of War game explore? (41 votes)

Egyptian mythology 46%
Mayan mythology 10%
Celtic mythology 15%
Japanese mythology 29%

Though they've not made appearances yet, it was confirmed in GOW 2018 that Egyptian, Mayan, Celtic and Japanese gods do exist; Cory Barlog also said that the next game will likely have Kratos (and hopefully Atreus and Mimir) encounter either Egyptian or Mayan pantheons.

I'm voting Egyptian mythology because it's easily the biggest of the four though I wouldn't mind seeing Kratos, Atreus and Mimir venture to the land of the Celtic gods as Mimir has personal ties to the place.

Japanese, tbh. Egypt has been explored for like millions of times now, and Celtic aesthetic are too much like Norse.

Is there any point in making more GoW games though?

@kurt_saulenne: @boutatakeanl: There definitely won't be one for at least a good number of years, if they release a new game too often then it'll feel more routine than special. AC and COD suffered decline in quality and popularity due to their devs valuing quantity over quality.

@ghostodoofus2: Figured. I just can't see how they'd be able to meaningfully continue the story. It'd be a very tough job.

Egypt. Cause that's what's been hinted at as their next destination.

Japanese myth has too much going on depending on the era. It would require 4 or 5 games if they feel like exploring all of it down to the bone.

Mayan myth is meh. And isn't as interesting as the others.

Celtics is kind of cool. But not as good as Norse or Greek. And feels like a step-down in all honesty.

I'm positive it'll be Egypt next. The original pitch for the last two God of Wars came down to Egyptian and Norse, and it was Cory Barlog, the director, who broke the tie in favor of Norse. Now that doesn't mean Santa Monica Studio has to do Egypt next; plans change all the time, and studios are always thinking of new ideas and directions to go in. But given how close they were to doing an Egypt game, with Cory even going as far as to show some awesome concept art of it, I'm sure it's still high on their priority list after making the two highly acclaimed Norse games they set out to create.

I get the feeling we might end up passing through a few at once over the next games

Mayan. Maybe it would help Kratos become a hero rescuing people from human sacrifice.

I mean, it does canonically exist in GoW, according to Cory Balrog:

But the chances of them ever doing it is close to 0.

Christianity wouldn't fit with the tone of the game. Kratos would have no reason to fight Jesus or God.

Agreed on that.

They'll have to take some liberties with Christianity to get Kratos involved in a conflict.

Or play it off as a comedy where Kratos gets ready for the worst, only to see that Jesus is a pretty chill dude.

God is dependant on how people view the creator. Chaos is near omnipotent and cannot be beaten, is a creator just like God. How they do Christianity could be wacky

@cryolancer47: Christian fans would not buy it and sales would topple, they might have to wait another few decades before they dare make a game that's vocally against Christianity.

@ghostodoofus2: Yeah, I already considered that factor.

Which is why the chances of them ever trying out Christianity in God of War are next to 0.
