It’s been speculated that the location and theme of the next God of War could be taking us to South Asia.
The God of War series began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 and since that time, it has become one of Sony’s most popular and profitable flagship brands. In 2018 the series took us away from Greece to Scandinavia and Kratos went from an everyone must-die attitude to something more empathic now that he has a son, namely Atreus.

Don't get me wrong, Kratos is still a badass who rips his enemies to shreds, but this more mature god-slayer will at least briefly contemplate what his best course of action will be.
This new version of Kratos might not be everyone’s cup of tea and some believe that the God of War has gone soft, but for me, it was a necessary growth to help the character evolve along with the series.
Following God of War Ragnarök and its free DLC, Valhalla, fans are wondering what’s next for the series. Some believe that we could be headed to Egypt or even somewhere in South America.
However, a YouTuber named JorRaptor believes that Kratos may be headed to India and that possibility has been hinted at right under our noses. In particular, Týr, the Norse God of War is a lot more zen in Ragnarök with a calming aura and is seemingly very much into mindful meditation.
Týr’s new way of thinking has led some to believe that he now embraces the Hindu religion and philosophy. What’s more, a commentator on one of JorRaptor’s videos believes that Angrboða, a jötunn and pivotal character in Ragnarök and a crucial part of Atrea’s character development is said to have a fighting style that is inspired by India’s festival of colour.
Of course, this is mere speculation at this time but it’s nice to gossip nonetheless and hopefully, Santa Monica Studio will reveal all about the next entry of the God of War series in the coming months.
For now, at least, we can play the most recent games in the series God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök on PC and PlayStation.
