Lately, there has been significant conjecture regarding the upcoming installment of the God of War franchise. As the year 2025 approaches, a new source has emerged, suggesting that the highly anticipated game may not follow the previously rumored journey to Egypt after Kratos' conflict with the Norse gods in Ragnarök. Instead, it appears that players might be taken back to Greece, focusing on a younger version of Kratos.

Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson has shared insights on his podcast, indicating that the next God of War title is likely to be a prequel. This would place the gamer stepping into the role of a youthful Kratos, exploring his early life in Greece. However, it is still uncertain whether this game will serve as a standalone experience or as a reboot of the beloved series.

Despite the intriguing details, Henderson has emphasized his inability to verify the claims from the sources, underscoring the importance of caution when discussing these rumors.

What direction do you think Santa Monica Studio should pursue for God of War? Should they delve into unexplored mythologies or return to the roots of the franchise to expand upon the existing narrative in a new light?
