Future God of War in Egypt and Mexico?

The newest episode of God of War which everyone is looking forward to will lead us quite untypically to the North because it was inspired by Norse mythology. This means that after six instalments originating from Greece mythology, we will see something different, something new. But now it seems that the developers are planning to experiment even more, not to stay with Norse mythology for too long and immediately move on.

God of War

Cory Barlog, a creative director at Santa Monica Studio, has just stated that the series started to be less and less popular and tended to be kind of boring so they wanted to give it a new impulse. Due to that, they moved to a different mythology but they would like to keep it moving so it’s possible we could also meet Egyptian or Mayan mythology.

“The Greek games were the Greek era of God of War. Moving on, the next mythological belief system he (Kratos) interacts with became the Norse era of God of War. But we may end up going on to the Egyptian era and the Mayan era and so on and so forth. (...) The storyline with Kratos being the hardcore badass – I think people were starting to say, ‘What’s next?’ I felt like, in order to reinvent, we really needed to turn a lot of things around.”

— Cory Barlog (Santa Monica Studio creative director)

The fact that there was a need to restart the series a bit is also confirmed by considering that the new episode has completely different control and camera style. At the same time, Kratos is no longer such a big badass but he takes care of his son and teaches him how to hunt and fight. These changes should connect players with Kratos more tightly and cause that everyone will remember the story for a long time.

Now, we just need to wait and see if this connection works, if the whole series moves the right way and if we can really enjoy new mythologies. The new episode of God of War will be released exclusively on PlayStation 4 during 2018 while some rumours say we could expect it in March. An unusually long campaign should be present in the game as well.

Jonasson: Jojo, vidím to úplně stejně

. Původní díly jsem měl moc rád, ale tahle změna mě láká ještě víc! Vypadá to na parádní příběh, navíc norskou mytologii mám rád a i změna kamery se mi osobně zamlouvá více

GaryCZ: Já jsme právě předchozí díly nehrál, ale i tak to bude asi hodně zajímavé. Ta mytologie. Ten příběh určitě bude stát za to
