God of war's egypt theory gets backing from former dev, ragnarok's norse future uncertain

God of War fans have long speculated that the series would eventually explore Egyptian mythology, and now a former developer is lending credence to that theory.

Tim moss, a programmer on god of war (2018), revealed in an interview with gamesradar how sony santa monica weighed its options for the reboot's setting.

During the game's conceptual phase, the team studied various mythologies, including the obvious choices of Egyptian and Norse. However, Moss explained that they ultimately chose to delve into Norse legend due to its familiarity yet still presenting a significant challenge for the scope of the project.

Interestingly, Moss believes that the team's plan was to tackle Egyptian mythology at some point, leaving fans to wonder if this could come to fruition in a future God of War game.

In the meantime, Sony Santa Monica is hard at work on two confirmed projects, including the highly anticipated God of War: Ragnarok, set to continue Kratos' Norse odyssey. However, the studio has also begun production on a trilogy of classic God of War remakes, which will likely keep fans busy for years to come.
