According to dataminer and user TheMorse_ on the official God of War Ragnarok subreddit, several hidden cutscenes have been discovered in the game’s files. The cutscenes are reportedly similar to hidden scenes in God of War 2018 that later served as the opening to God of War Ragnarok. One of the alleged cutscenes features “beings from the higher plane,” including Athena, in conversation with Odin and Atreus. Another reportedly shows Atreus traveling to meet beings from other dimensions and encountering a figure known as “Mau,” said to be the Egyptian word for cat and described as a manifestation of the sun god Ra. While proof was shared via a link in the post and several rumors have suggested that an Egyptian-themed entry in the series is in development, these details have not been confirmed by Sony or Santa Monica Studio.
In a recent discussion with Twitch streamer Fuhpuzy on a recent livestream, Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge seemingly revealed more details about upcoming God of War projects. He confirmed that the next God of War trilogy will see TC Carson reprise his role as Kratos. He also teased that an upcoming God of War project, likely the rumored next title from Cory Barlog, will be announced in late summer.
“No, well, it’s going to be TC,” Judge said when asked if he would be reprising the role for the remake. He added that the trilogy will not undergo a reboot. Instead, it will use “new technology” and include “more stuff,” as well as a “new fighting system.” When asked about when he would return to the role of Kratos, Judge said, “Then you’ll be hearing about what we’re doing probably late summer.”
In a recent episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Tom Henderson claimed that the rumored upcoming installment in the God of War franchise will include a scythe, similar to previous games in the series. “There is a scythe in the game as well.” “It’s interesting. It’s always cool listening to all these rumblings and seeing what actually comes to fruition,” he said. He also noted that while the game was previously rumored to have an Egyptian setting, the next title might take the series back to Greece.
Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Santa Monica Studio recently announced God of War Trilogy Remake, a remake of God of War, God of War II, and God of War III. A release date has not been announced, but the title will launch for PlayStation 5.
