The gaming world is buzzing after prominent leaker Daniel Richtman (via The Game Post) revealed that Sony’s next major AAA project—strongly hinted to be God of War 6—will shift from Norse to Egyptian mythology. According to the report, Sony is actively recruiting Middle Eastern actors for a game described as “likely the next God of War,” sending fans into a frenzy over Kratos potentially battling gods like Anubis, Ra, and Set.
Why Egypt Makes Perfect Sense
While unconfirmed, the setting aligns with franchise lore and fan hopes:
- Canonical Tease: Kratos visited Egypt in a comic series between the Greek and Norse sagas, leaving narrative threads wide open.
- Fresh Pantheon: After Odin and Thor, gods like Osiris, Horus, and chaos serpent Apophis offer new boss fight spectacles.
- Cultural Richness: Pyramids, deserts, and the Nile could deliver stunning visuals and environmental puzzles.
As Reddit user darkpyro2 noted: “He’s already been there—this is the logical next step!”
Fan Reactions: “A Dream Come True”
The r/gaming subreddit exploded with excitement:
“As an Egyptian mythology nerd, this would be my wet dream. Taking Kratos through the pantheon would be a dream come true!” – rickjamesbich
“If it’s as good as GoW 2018/Ragnarök, holy fk lol.” – *Jabarles*
“Stargate meets God of War? I’d sell my soul for this!”
Many hope Santa Monica Studio returns, leveraging PS5’s power to render Egypt’s grandeur.
Should We Trust the Leak?
- Leaker Credibility: Daniel Richtman has a mixed track record—approach with caution.
- Sony’s Silence: No official confirmation exists about God of War 6’s setting or developer.
- Logical Fit: Egypt has been a top fan-requested setting for years, making the leak plausible but unverified.
What Could Egyptian God of War Look Like?
If true, expect:
- Desert Sandstorms as dynamic combat arenas
- Tomb Raiding with Atreus (or a new companion)
- Mythical Weapons like khopeshes or ankh-based magic
- Morality Tales exploring pharaonic power and divine justice
