I want the next God of War to take place in Egypt, says Christopher Judge
Christopher Judge wants the next God of War to be set in Egypt - how would the mythology, the enemies and Kratos' journey change?
Listen too
I was excited to hear that the actor Christopher Judgethe iconic voice of KratosHe suggested that the next God of War could take place in Egypt. At the panel in London he almost confirmed another game, but then backed down. Back to Egypt would make personal sense to Judge because of his role as a Teal'c. There is no official announcement from Sonybut after the success of Ragnarök I'm ready to return to that world.

Christopher Judge suggests Egypt as a possible setting for the next God of War I'll tell you what that means
I cover the statement made by the actor who plays Kratos: he let slip the idea of a new game set in the Egyptbut also softened his words, pointing out that any choice of pantheon would be valid. The same observation was echoed in sources such as: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/god-of-war-actor-christopher-judge-says-he-hopes-a-potential-sequel-will-take-place-in-egypt-but-i-have-no-doubt-that-no-matter-what-pantheon-it-is-it-will-be-great/
Key information
I followed the panel on MCM London Comic Con where the comment was made and I checked the press release. Here are the most relevant facts:
- Christopher Judgeknown for voicing the character Kratos in the series God of Warsuggested that he would like to see the next entry in the franchise set in the Egypt.
- The comment took place during a public panel; he first mentioned the idea and then toned it down, avoiding confirming a project in development.
- No official announcement of Sony or the studio Sony Santa Monica about a new God of War after God of War Ragnarök (2022).
- The editions of 2018 e Ragnarök were well received by critics and sold very well, keeping the possibility of a sequel open.
Context and background
The suggestion of a game set in Ancient Egypt would represent a major visual and thematic change from the previous versions of the series, which explored different mythologies. According to reports from the panel, Judge associated the idea with a career cycle that would make complete sense if it went through the Egypt a symbolic closure linked to his history as an actor.
Important: Judge's speech does not officially confirm a new title. The information came from a public comment and not a statement from the studio or the Sony.
What this could mean for the franchise
- A change of scenery for the Egypt would require a new artistic and narrative direction, with different enemies, gods and settings.
- The positive reception of the previous games makes it plausible that the franchise will continue, but this remains speculation until there is confirmation from those responsible.
- The end of Ragnarök left room for a sequel, according to reviews by the community and the specialized press.
