15 Powerful Gods Kratos Could Face In God of War 6

After virtually annihilating the entire Greek pantheon, Kratos (who is voiced by Christopher Judge) and his son Atreus (voiced by Sunny Suljic) are in dire need of new challengers and new realms to conquer in God of War 6.

I think it'll have to be set in Egypt. It's the only place with a recognisable set of gods ready to go. I don't see them using anyone obscure they'll want characters well known in pop culture.

The setting also lends itself well to the series visually and would be a welcome change from snowy landscapes.

Ragnorok pointed to Egypt already?

[Morozova]

No

[Nacho_Z]

Makes sense, I haven't finished it yet so wouldn't know.

[S2Killinit]

How about German.? I bet they have some wicked gods. There is also Persian, but theirs is not one with many gods but one god with two sides as far as I understand it. They do have a lot of mythical heroes and “divs”. There is also Japanese gods and demons from shintoism.

Seems to make sense

I cant delete my own reply..

You are right I looked into it, ( a very short google search)

There are other sets of gods like the Indian ones And this setting would be ripe for a game landscape but as you say, the gods are not recognisable to lots of people.

There are Native American set of gods-
And that landscape would also be ripe for a game , but But there not recognisable either

Egypt it is

(Spoiler) when you fight Tyr repeatedly in Valhalla, he pulls out what looks to be Egyptian Kopis blades for one fight, what I believe are Mayan obsidian edged swords for another, and what looks like a Chinese dao (or maybe a heavily stylized) katana. I feel like maybe those are teasers for possible settings

[Rocketisleague]

There are...alot of references to Tyr travelling to Egypt in both games. In the recent DLC there are pyramids in the background of valhalla. I'm gonna take a guess it'll be Egypt with all the references, I would like to see some eastern ones myself but Egypt seems the most likely candidate. Would love a shinto one if there weren't so many Japanese mythology based games already.

a egypt setting would be siiick

their mythology is the most interesting

[jznrpg]

Most well known

[darthv72]

I can see them going with Egyptian, but the only issue would be... how? The Norse mythology takes place in the iron age, same as the Greek. After in fact, but Egyptian mythology takes place even earlier in the bronze age. They would have to create some sort of time travel narrative so Kratos could go back several thousand years to deal with the likes of Ra, Seth, Anubus, and Osiris.

I know its a game, they can do pretty much whatever they want but having two game mythologies in the right order would seem to mean they would try to keep that order. So after the iron age comes the late antiquity age which is where Arabian and Slavic mythologies are part. Neither of which are as well known as something like Egyptian.

[Nacho_Z]

I take your point, but if there was a cutscene which went "what's that, some kind of portal!?" and then Kratos appears in ancient Egypt personally I wouldn't question it or care in the slightest.

[MehmetAlperTR]

Please go to Egypt... Enough of norse...

[isarai]

Nah do something new, I acknowledge they are good games but I just want to see SSM tackle a new IP

[jznrpg]

Rumors are Cory Barlog has been on working on one for sometime now

[Psychonaut85]

Yeah I think he even hinted at it himself, and him not being primary director on Ragnarok would seem to bear that out. I love his work, would be so cool to see a new IP from Santa Monica with him at the helm.

[Psychonaut85]

I honestly don’t know if Kratos is gunna be the protagonist in the next game. With the end of Valhalla, and the fact that Atreus is the one who’s gone off on his own at the end of the main game, I’m wondering if they’re gunna pivot to focusing on an adult Atreus. Maybe not. Curious to see.

[QuantumMechanic]

Won't this be the 7th GoW game?

[EternalTitan]

Make him face the Jewish and Muslim god.

[Inverno]

I don't think he'll be leaving Midgard anytime soon. The whole point of him being there was to stop with the God killing, and he only ended up fighting the Nordic gods because of events that happen before he even got there. Second game ends with him being a good god rather than wrathful. And the DLC seems to be about him taking up the role of a good God of war. Realistically what reason would he have to leave to any other realm? Only way I see that happening is if other gods start crossing territories.
