Kratos Targets Egypt in Next God of War Adventure in 2026

The God of War is not done yet. After God of War: Ragnarök was a huge hit with critics and fans, people are once again talking about Kratos's next adventure more than they are about the fires of Olympus. Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos, has made recent comments and reports that have sparked interest and speculation about the franchise's future.

Sources say that the Judge said he hoped the next God of War game would take place in Egypt. This suggests that the series might move away from Norse mythology and into a new ancient pantheon. When he spoke on a panel, he said that going to Egypt would "complete his circle." 

This led fans to immediately speculate that Santa Monica Studio might already be working on a sequel set among the pyramids, pharaohs, and gods of the Nile. The Judge quickly took back what he said, but the way he said it made it sound like another God of War game might already be in the works or at least in the early planning stages.

Santa Monica Studio has posted job openings in the past few years that are consistent with large-scale, story-driven action games. This makes people think that Kratos isn't done swinging the Leviathan Axe yet.

Along with the rumored Egyptian sequel, there are growing rumors about a God of War remake that might take Kratos back to his Greek adventures. Fans started talking when they saw a bunch of job openings from Bluepoint Games, the studio known for making great remakes like Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus.

The job postings mentioned work on a "third-person melee action game," leading some to think Bluepoint might be remaking the original God of War for modern consoles. There are reports that Bluepoint was once working on an online God of War project, but it was put on hold.

People who know about it think that many of the assets from that project could be reused for a remake. This could mix the brutal combat of the original trilogy with the cinematic storytelling of the modern reboots.

If that's true, fans could get a revival that connects both parts of Kratos's journey. This would be a fitting tribute to the god who defied Olympus and conquered Midgard.

Multiple leaks from insiders have hinted that this remake could be the main part of a new God of War Collection. This would be a big way to bring Kratos's story to new players on PlayStation 5 and beyond. This would be a smart move for Sony, as it would keep the franchise going while Santa Monica Studio works on its next big game.

Fans can't stop coming up with ideas about what an Egyptian setting might look like. Think about Kratos fighting with or against gods like Anubis, Ra, or Osiris. Instead of the cold fjords of the Norse world, he would be in golden deserts and cursed tombs. For a series that has never shied away from change, this shift feels both inevitable and dangerous.

Whatever Kratos decides to do next, one thing is for sure: God of War remains the greatest example of how to fight in a video game and tell a story in a film. With the possibility of spin-offs, sequels, and remakes, the franchise appears destined to continue to dominate the PlayStation market. 

But as the rumors get louder, you can't help but wonder: when Kratos finally raises his axe again, will it be to change history? Or to make a whole new myth from scratch?
