Whether Santa Monica Studio heeds those calls and finally steers the franchise in that direction post God of War: Ragnarok remains to be seen, however. Considering Egypt's ancient mythology is arguably ranked amongst the most popular and instantly recognizable in the world, alongside the two settings Kratos has already slashed his way through, this isn't shocking. Since the earliest days of the series, there have been consistent calls for the studio to explore the Egyptian pantheon. Questions regarding where the story goes next will naturally only increase from this point forward, even if Kratos ends up taking a step back from the helm after the dust settles in the upcoming sequel. While it seems fitting that the apocalyptic event will close out the current saga, the sheer size and popularity of the franchise means it's highly unlikely that it will be absent from Sony's plans for any great deal of time. Santa Monica Studio's declaration that it plans to close out the Norse-themed chapter of the God of War franchise has raised more than a few eyebrows amongst fans.
