After months of speculation, it seems we finally know the mythology the next God of War game will delve into.
Having touched upon Greek and Norse mythology, God of War fans have been hoping for a fresh set of legends to be explored as Kratos and Atreus continue their journey.
It’s an adventure that will purportedly see the duo visit the Middle East, as Sony’s award-winning franchise shifts its attention to Egyptian folklore.
This claim comes from Daniel Richtman, as per Insider Gaming; due to Richtman’s Patreon being behind a paywall, we can’t confirm these details for ourselves.

In this leak, it’s said that Sony is casting for “Middle Eastern actors”.
Kratos has finally made his way onto your PC in God of War Ragnarök.
“Sony is casting Middle Eastern actors for an unknown AAA game,” the report reads. “Which is likely to be the next God of War that explores Egyptian mythology.”
This would align with the potential settings teased by the ending of God of War Ragnarök, which suggested several viable locations.
What is more, fans have wanted to see Egypt play a significant role in the series, believing it to be the “most badass setting” for the next game.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also know that Santa Monica thought about setting the last God of War adventure in Egypt before it eventually pivoted to Norse mythology instead, as mentioned in the documentary about the development of the game.
Still, while the report supports previous theories, it’s the “unknown AAA game” bit that we need to bear in mind.
Without knowing specifically which title is casting these actors, we can’t say with 100 percent certainty that this new game is God of War 6.
Therefore, we need to view this claim like any other unofficial announcement: false until proven otherwise.
Now all we can do is sit and wait for Kratos’ return, wherever that may take him.
