Which mythology should the next God of War game explore?

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

Shinto

Is there any point in making more GoW games though?

Will there be any more? At least with Kratos?

@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.

While i love egiptian mythos they have less "material" in the way of interestin stories

Don't get me wrong they have like thousands o f gods and some interesting places and concepts but not compared to greeks or norse imo

Whatever mythology Journey to the West follows.

@pyrofn: That’s Chinese mythology

@nassergrant19: Right. Thanks!

Egyptian seems most interesting for him to go to imo

Aztec, I'd love to see a boss battle with Quetzalcoatl or Xolotl

Chrystian should be an option.

@gaoron:

How would that work?

@crunch5481: it wouldn’t

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

@ghostodoofus2: @boutatakeanl: @kurt_saulenne: Considering Ragnarok ended with Kratos new story path only just starting that answer is quite clearly yes

Jesus is a pacifist and God is too powerful.

Why the Japanese hard? 🤨

Christianity

Bruh.

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

Hindu or Islam.

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.

Not what I meant but I agree

@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.

@ready_4_madness: lmao

Aztec/Mayan...

then Egyptian, where his journey should end! :)
