For years, God of War fans have speculated where Kratos might rage next – after leaving behind a trail of gods across both Greek and Norse mythologies. Now, the voice behind the Ghost of Sparta himself, Christopher Judge, has weighed in on where he’d like to go next: Egypt.
During a recent MCM London Comic Con panel, Judge shared that taking Kratos to Egypt “would be a completion of my circle.” His comment, reported by GamesRadar+, has reignited long-standing rumors about an Egyptian setting for the franchise’s next mainline entry. And if you’ve followed his career, you know that line carries more meaning than you might think.
Why Egypt Makes Sense for the Next God of War
In the same discussion, Judge noted that his comment ties back to his earlier acting career – particularly his role as Teal’c in Stargate SG-1. For him, going to Egypt would feel like coming full circle, connecting two iconic parts of his legacy.
He said:
“That would be a completion of my circle. But whatever is decided – if there is another game – I have no doubt that no matter what pantheon it is, it will be great.”
That small “if” caught fans’ attention, hinting that Judge himself doesn’t yet have official confirmation about another God of War title. But his enthusiasm toward Egypt immediately reignited conversations across Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), where players have been theorizing about this very setting for years.
And honestly? It just fits.
After Kratos laid waste to the Greek gods in the original trilogy and found reluctant redemption through the Norse pantheon in God of War (2018) and Ragnarök, the Egyptian mythos feels like a natural next step. The pantheon is rich with powerful deities, a unique spiritual tone, and the kind of moral complexity that Santa Monica Studio thrives on.
Hints That Egypt Could Actually Be Next
This isn’t the first time Egypt has come up in God of War conversations. Back in early 2024, reports surfaced that Sony was casting Middle Eastern actors for an “unannounced AAA game.” Fans quickly pieced together that this could be a project tied to the God of War universe – potentially set in Egypt or inspired by its mythology.
There’s also the matter of old concept art. Before God of War (2018) was finalized as a Norse adventure, Santa Monica Studio had early drafts exploring Egyptian settings, complete with desert landscapes, pyramids, and depictions of gods like Anubis and Ra. So, the idea’s been on the table for a while – just waiting for the right moment.
Now, with the Norse saga neatly wrapped up, the timeline feels perfect for Kratos to step into a new world of myths and monsters.
Judge’s Confidence in the Studio’s Direction
Even though Judge hinted he doesn’t know the next setting, he was quick to express confidence in the creative team at Santa Monica Studio:
“I have no doubt that no matter what pantheon it is, it will be great.”
That faith speaks volumes. The studio earned massive praise for how it handled the emotional depth of Ragnarök, turning Kratos from a vengeful warrior into a complex father figure.
Fans expect any future game – Egyptian or otherwise – to continue that evolution. With characters like Atreus growing into his own role, there’s room for a new chapter that explores legacy, belief, and the burden of godhood in an entirely new cultural lens.
Other God of War News Stirring the Community
While fans chew on Judge’s comments, God of War news keeps trickling in from other corners:
- Amazon’s live-action God of War series recently had a casting call leak, revealing that the show will adapt the 2018 Norse storyline.
- A Greek-era God of War remake or reimagining has reportedly been pushed to 2026, according to leaks circulating in fan forums.
- And let’s not forget the canceled multiplayer spin-off, whose concept screenshots surfaced online earlier this month – showing what might’ve been a team-based God of War experience that never made it past internal testing.
Put together, it’s clear the franchise is far from dormant. Whether the next big step is in Egypt, on TV, or through remakes, the world of God of War is still very much alive.
Fans Are Already Dreaming of Egyptian Gods
Following Judge’s comments, fan theories exploded across social media. Some are already imagining Kratos battling Anubis or clashing with Set amid ancient tombs. Others think the Egyptian pantheon might allow for a more philosophical take – where gods are tied to balance and order rather than chaos.
Reddit user “ValhallaVibes” summed it up perfectly:
“After the Norse arc, Kratos deserves a warmer climate and a fresh set of gods to yell at.”
And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see Kratos stomping through the sands of the Nile, swinging the Leviathan Axe under a blood-red sun?
What’s Next for God of War?
Officially, nothing’s been confirmed yet. Sony and Santa Monica Studio have kept quiet about future God of War projects since Ragnarök’s release. But Christopher Judge’s playful hints keep the fire alive – and if history tells us anything, the studio loves a good surprise.
Until we get that announcement, fans will keep speculating, dreaming, and dissecting every word Judge says at conventions.
Because when Kratos finally does return – whether in Egypt, Olympus, or somewhere entirely new – one thing’s certain: it’s going to be mythic.
