New God Of War rumour says Sony is casting for an Egyptian setting

The future of God Of War remains unclear but a trip to Egypt is still the best bet for Kratos’ next outing. There have been plenty of signs already that Santa Monica Studio has begun work on its next God Of War project, but officially they’ve said nothing about it or its setting.

However, the studio has ruled out another Nordic themed entry, with 2022’s God Of War: Ragnarök and its DLC epilogue concluding that particular saga. So, any subsequent game will have to pit Kratos against a new pantheon of gods. A popular theory amongst fans is that the series will head to Ancient Egypt and if the latest God Of War rumour is true, that’s exactly what’s happening.
The new rumour comes courtesy, not of any of the usual gaming sources, but from DanielRPK, who more commonly shares rumours and insider info on movies. That said, he has dabbled in gaming related rumours before. Last year, for instance, he said Capcom is planning another remake of the first Resident Evil game for 2026. There’s no sign so far that’s true but, since it’s not his usual subject purview, he may have mistaken it for Resident Evil Zero – which has recently been rumoured by other sources.
In a recent Patreon post (shared by X user Visceral), DanielRPK claims that Sony is currently casting Middle Eastern actors for ‘for an unknown AAA game.’ However, he adds that it’s ‘likely to be the next God Of War that explores Egyptian mythology.’.
