Egyptian Mythology Teased as Possible Next Setting for God of War
-

Additional datamined footage from God of War Ragnarök suggests the series could shift to Egyptian mythology. One unused scene features Atreus speaking to a mysterious figure named “Mau” — notably the Egyptian word for “cat” and a name linked to the sun god Ra.
The reference may also connect to Apophis, a white serpent from Egyptian lore said to battle Ra daily. Fans have long speculated that the next chapter after the Norse saga would take Kratos — or possibly Atreus — to Egypt. With Ragnarök concluding the Norse arc and Atreus emerging as a strong potential lead, these hidden files are fueling theories that the franchise’s next era could trade frost and fjords for deserts and pyramids.
