YouTube channel TeaserPlay has made yet another Unreal Engine 5 concept video, with this one based on Sony’sGod of Warfranchise. The long-awaitedGod of War Ragnarok’s release is mere weeks awayat this point, with the new game set to bring an end to the franchise’s Norse mythology storyline. But whileGod of War Ragnarokwill mark the end of the Norse saga, it doesn’t mean that it will be the end of the franchise as a whole.
The originalGod of Wargames saw Kratos take on the Greek pantheon, while the 2018God of WarandGod of War Ragnarokhave been all about Kratos going toe-to-toe with figures from Norse mythology. Anepic showdown between Kratos and Thoris on the horizon, and since this will be the end of the Norse saga, one has to imagine that Odin may very well be involved in the new game as well. Fans will have to playGod of War Ragnaroknext month to find out, but in the meantime, they may be wondering what’s next for theGod of Warfranchise.

WithGod of War Ragnaroknot even out yet, it’s too early to say with any certainty where theGod of Warfranchise will be going with its next installment. One popular theory has suggested that thenextGod of Wargame should have Kratos fighting Egyptian godsnext. The latest TeaserPlay Unreal Engine 5 concept video imagines such a game, showing Kratos in ancient Egypt.
In the concept video, fans can see Kratos running around an Egyptian desert. He comes across some old ruins and an oasis. The pyramids can be seen in the background, but then a giant statue of a pharaoh rises into view. Kratos has fought his fair share of massive foes in theGod of Wargames, so one has to imagine that he would make great quick work of the statue, but the video ends before fans get to see the fight play out.
Having Kratos square off against the Egyptian gods is certainly one direction that the nextGod of Wargame could go in, but it could also do something completely unexpected. Some fans have theorized thatKratos might die inGod of War Ragnarok, with Atreus replacing him as the franchise’s main character, but that remains to be seen. It would be risky to do away with such a popular character, but fans will find out whenGod of War Ragnaroklaunches next month.
