After decimating the Greek gods and surviving the harsh Norse mythos, it really does seem like God of War is poised to move to Egypt in the next leg of the saga.
A dataminer appears to have discovered some dialogue hidden within the files of God of War Ragnarok, and if it holds any weight, it could be a big clue as to the setting of the next major game in the series.
Spoilers below.

Reddit user TheMorse_ has shared some dialogue scenes found in Ragnarok's files not present in the game itself. Click through to see the full dialogues.
In one scene, a character called the 'Robed Figure' discusses Odin and Atreus, seemingly within the context of the mysterious mask that can supposedly peer into a higher plane of existence. It appears that this is in fact Athena, who appeared before Kratos in an iconic scene from God of War 2018.
Another scene features Atreus, speaking to a character who only says "Mau". Mau is Egyptian for "cat" but can also mean "sun". In Egyptian mythology, Ra is god of the sun.
TheMorse_ apparently did something similar with God of War 2018, in which they found hidden dialogue that ended up accurately revealing some details about Ragnarok's early hours.
God of War's Norse games openly hint at Egyptian mythology once or twice, as well as reveal some kind of higher power above all godly pantheons as we understand them in the games.
Additionally, it's been said that Kratos will wield an Egyptian sword in the next game.
We don't know it for absolute certain, but there's definitely mounting evidence that the series is heading in this direction.

I’m definitely down for exploring Egyptian mythology next!
I am confused though. Is this the game Cory Barlog is working on? Or is that something else?
Because i thought SSM was working on 2 games (besides the GoW trilogy remake)
Hopefully he finds a Stargate at the end of the game and introduces the Ori as future antagonists.
This was teased at end of god of war 2018 no???
Sounds good. I’ll still hold off until a year or so after launch. Can’t trust them not to shoehorn in another horrendously awful and out of place rogue like mode and forceably attach trophies to it. Not going through that slop again like how they blindsided players with Ragnarok or the PS5 version of TLoU2.
If Sony doesn’t shut down Santa Monica first….
what's wrong with people having to spoil all the surprise.
@HRdepartment hahahah hihohi hohoho
some remake only studio, and the 2nd biggest 1st party studio. hmm
Bro Phil Spencer is "retiring" and Sarah Bond is resigning on Monday...

I was looking forward too it but i might not buy it now out of spite
I thought that Studio Santa Monica wanted to make a Norse trilogy?!
@Frmknst what makes them more valuable at this point? Neither have put out a ps5 exclusive this gen yet. And might not at the rate they’re going.
@GamingGod Only punishing yourself doing that.
@ButterySmooth30FPS and that right there is a part of the problem kind of statement.
I only hope for two things.
1. A new combat system. No over the shoulder camera or anything like that, just something close enough to the Greek Trilogy. Make it a character action game again.
2. No Atreus or any redemption stuff. Just give me Kratos in Egypt fighting the Egyptian Gods.

Quote from the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Asha Sharma:
„We are witnessing the reinvention of play. To meet the moment, we will invent new business models and new ways to play by leaning into what we already have: iconic teams, characters, and worlds that people love.“
Sounds a lot like „Live service game, based on God of War, developed by Bluepoint“ but for Xbox IPs and studios.
@Oram77 They have probably left because Microsoft are forcing plan they don't approve with l such as going full multiplatform, with an AI and live service focus judging by the statement. People think Sony have it bad, depending on the mindset of who they appoint next they may want to stop making consoles altogether.
@Max_the_German Sounds like a lot AI slop incoming if you ask me, did you not see who is taking over the helm.
I think egyptian mythology has a lot of potential for exploration. I remember really enjoying a lot of the egyptian themes that AC Origins did.
I'm in... hook , line and sinker.
@HRdepartment I mean God of War Ragnarok was damn near a PS5 exclusive. Yes it was on PS4 but it looked next gen.
@Oram77 AI is not the impression I got when reading this paragraph. Business models are about how to make money, not about how the product is made. „New ways to play“ sounds awful like „live service with permanent monetisation“ to me.
But I have no doubts that Microsoft will use AI to accelerate the development process. AI slop though? Who wants to pay for slop?
@Max_the_German "Who wants to pay for slop?" have you not been on twitter and see all the people posting those god awful seedance AI videos and saying "it only cost me $22"....
@ButterySmooth30FPS mate I’ll be honest I’m looking forward to the trilogy more than another over the shoulder game
@Oram77 No, I avoid X to preserve my sanity.
