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.
“From what I understand, there is another mainline God of War game in development,” he said. “There’s a lot of speculation out there that it’s going to be an Egyptian God of War game… but I’ve got a feeling that it’s going to go back to Greek mythology, to be honest. And now I’m wondering, is that why they are doing the remake of the original trilogy?”
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.
