God of War Dataminer Has Found Evidence The Next Game Might Be Heading to Egypt

There is plenty of speculation about the next mainline God of War video game, especially when it comes to the game’s setting. It was heavily rumored the next game will be set in Egypt; however, gaming insider Tom Henderson recently shared his prediction about God of War making its return to Greece.

That statement was made due to the recent announcement of the God of War Trilogy Remake, which is bringing back TC Carson as Kratos. Nevertheless, Egypt may still be the setting in the next God of War game, as a data miner has found its proof in God of War: Ragnarok files.

As revealed at the game’s subreddit, God of War: Ragnarok originally included a cutscene where Athena is having a conversation with a mysterious character described as a "Robed Figure". But what’s more important is that Atreus is talking to someone called Mau—and Mau is cat in the Egyptian language and also one of the manifestations of the Sun God Ra. You can check all the dialogues from these scenes below:

Athena Cutscene:

Robed Figure: “To lefkó fídi tha se fáei.”

Robed Figure: “One failed us. One rejected us.”

Athena: “We have a problem.”

Atreus and Mau Cutscene:

Atreus: “Wake up. I think we’re close.”

Mau: “Mau?“

Atreus: “Hey, you insisted on coming along. C’mon, let’s have a look.”

Mau: “Mau.”

Atreus: “I hope you’re right. Sounds like we found it.”

This could be the teaser of the next God of War video game taking place in Egypt, and somehow these cutscenes didn’t make it into the final cut of the game. At this point, Santa Monica Studio hasn’t revealed anything about the next God of War game, but according to Christopher Judge, who voiced Kratos in God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok, the announcement is scheduled for late summer.
