Norse and Beyond: Expanding God of War's Mythology
In this exclusive Game Informer video, God of War creative director Cory Barlog and Sony Santa Monica studio head Shannon Studstill talk about Kratos leaving Greek mythology, why they chose Scandinavia, and how the larger world now connects all…
is that amy?
RIP DC
0:50 That works so well, since Marvel has Thor as a big hero, compared to DC with Wonder Woman.
As much as I like the idea of Egyptian Mythology, I’d personally love to see God of War take on Japanese mythology. It’s a more bizarre and colorful world and I think Kratos would feel out of his element. Though they would probably have to be choosie over what Yokai they use… might seem kinda weird if Kratos we’re to fight a sentient umbrella.
This Cory guy, seems like the Franchise is in very good hands. Well spoken and understanding of character creation
We can be marvel universe instead of dc universe XD
Dat burn tho
Is the guy on the right drunk??
Mythologies i want to see:
Aztec, Mayan, Japanese, Egyptian and Celtic
Is there a possibility where we could get a sequel about how Kratos came to find his second wife.
How is it possible for them to switch from Greek to Norse mythology
Recommended section isn't good for my health with GOW :
lmao funny how he shit on dc universe just like that,
In the story, how does it switch mythology’s? Because just switching mythology doesn’t make any since to me
glad they picked norse instead of egyptian, it was a tough choice but yeah norse wasnt really done before in terms of gaming except marvel was doing with it, thor on 360 was cancerous. they could always do egyptian later on the ps5 or ps6 with a new god, not kratos. i can imagine kratos wanting to fucking retire lmao
Good choice with Marvel
Sam Neil Merlin TV movie reference – respect.
How about hindu mythology?

People would lose their shit if they used Christian characters. There would be a snowflake meltdown unlike anything ever before seen.
Is Kratos actually in Norse Mythology?
I think the next God of War game having some Christianity mixed in would be awesome, not just because I'm a Christian but I genuinely want to see how Kratos and Atreus would explore it and what impact it'd bring

Kratos vs Kartikeya…..Hindu Mythological God of War….Maybe one day
Other pantheons that can possibly be fantastic for GOW.
Celtic
Hindu
Persian
Egyptian with some West African thrown in.
Judeo Christian, this one will be awesome, Kratos can encounter Lucifer and the princess of Hell, Archangels, Biblical Prophets and heroes like David and Sampson and numerous others.
Although this will be the subject of huge controversy.
I love how Cory Barlog straight up claims this game as HIS baby & HIS story. He’s so proud of it. His charisma comes from his sincerity
I want Cory Barlog shirt
Honestly, even if they went the Egyptian route, they would have DESTROYED Assassin's Creed. Why? It has an uninteresting main character, didn't explain the origin of the hidden blade or the leap of faith, a POINTLESS open world and weird mission design where there's a rush to get to an objective story marker but you can spend the next 40 hours hunting before going to it, historical figures who ultimately didn't matter. (sigh) I'm so tired of how bad AC has become.
Honestly, had Cory chosen to go with Egypt, knowing what he brought to Norse Mythology, he would have destroyed Assassin's Creed. AC is such bullshit now. Hopefully it gets better with Ubisoft being destroyed with scandals and their top ppl being replaced
