Kratos, the iconic protagonist of the God of War franchise, may continue his epic journey in the upcoming game God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla. The recently announced Valhalla DLC serves as an epilogue to the main story in Ragnarok, featuring Kratos and Mimir as they face a series of roguelite challenges. However, what has caught the attention of many players are the hints scattered throughout Valhalla that suggest where Kratos might be headed in the future.
Leading up to the release of Valhalla, director Cory Barlog had previously mentioned several potential destinations for the next God of War game. Interestingly, these hints align with what players encounter in Valhalla. During the trials, Kratos encounters Tyr, the Norse God of War, who carries weapons from different Pantheons he has visited over the years. Among these Pantheons are the Egyptian, Japanese, and Mayan groups, all of which Barlog had previously mentioned as potential settings for future God of War games.
While it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where Kratos might be headed next, these hints suggest that it could be one of these three locations. It is possible that Sony Santa Monica, the game’s developer, is intentionally playing with fan expectations. However, considering the excitement surrounding the future of the God of War franchise, it would be disappointing if these hints turned out to be mere jokes. Fans eagerly await Santa Monica’s next move and the next adventure for Kratos and his crew.
Unfortunately, fans will likely have to wait several more years to learn more about what is coming next. It took four years between the 2018 God of War reboot and the release of Ragnarok. With a potential change in Pantheon, development for the next game will likely take even longer. This means that fans may need to wait until 2026 or later before any official announcements are made. While it is possible that Santa Monica might release a side adventure featuring Atreus, similar to what Insomniac Games did with Miles Morales in the Spider-Man franchise, this is purely speculative at this point.
In conclusion, the Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok offers hints about the potential future setting for the next game in the series. These hints align with what director Cory Barlog has previously mentioned, suggesting that Kratos may explore locations such as Egypt, Japan, or the Mayan civilization. While fans will have to wait a few more years before any concrete information is revealed, the anticipation for the next mainline God of War game continues to grow.
