A new report suggests Sony PlayStation is working on a new AAA God of War game set in Egyptian mythology.
The God of War franchise is one of the most beloved in gaming, with a history spanning decades and a fanbase that only continues to grow. After the release of 2018’s God of War and expanding the Norse saga with Ragnarok in 2022, Sony Santa Monica delivered not just critical acclaim but a deeply emotional narrative that resonated with players.
With the Norse saga seemingly complete, fans have been wondering what lies ahead for Kratos. Now, it seems we finally have a hint about what the next mainline God of War installment could be.
New God of War Game in Development?
According to a new report, Sony is “likely” working on a brand-new God of War game set in Egyptian mythology. This information comes from Daniel Richtman, a well-known source for insider scoops in entertainment, who shared the news through a post on his Patreon.
Richtman revealed that Sony is currently casting Middle Eastern actors for an unknown AAA title. He added that the project is “likely to be the next God of War that explores Egyptian mythology.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the idea of God of War exploring Egyptian mythology has come up. In the “Making Of” God of War (2018) documentary, creative director Cory Barlog revealed that the studio initially considered setting the game in Egyptian mythology before ultimately choosing the Norse path.
While this is exciting news, it’s worth noting that Sony has not confirmed any of this information. Until we hear something official, we suggest taking everything with a grain of salt.
This comes after Sony canceled a live-service God of War game in development by Bluepoint Games. That project had been in the works for two years before being shelved. On a more positive note, fans of the series can also look forward to the upcoming God of War TV adaptation, which is currently in development at Amazon Prime.
