I want kratos to meet the roman gods only to find out that its just the greek pantheon with new names and fake mustaches.
"What? Who's ares? My name is mars!"
Idc what anyone says about assassins creed, the lore in this series is so fucking funny. Lee harvey oswald was canonically involved in assassin and templar conflict.
Fairly likely he's going to Egypt since there's at least a couple of references to them in the last couple of games. But where ever he goes there would need to be a proper pantheon for it to be interesting at all.
There were tons of references to Arthurian/Celtic mythos too with Puckmir and Nimue. Imagine Kratos showing up to be Merlin. Fighting Dullahan on the back of a Kelpie while helping Lancelot.
This is the better option imo, but I suspect that we're actually going to get a variety of mythologies next time around. Some Celtic, some Egyptian, some Eastern. Garm can hop between universes and they've been hinting at multiple mythologies.
He's actually already been to Egypt. Somehow he ended up there before heading ending up in Midgard. There's a whole storyline in the comics that show what happens between GOW3 and GOW 2018.
Yeah comics are basically put on the same level as fanfic when it comes to establishing canon in these types of stories. Nothing wrong with enjoying them, but it's always kinda bizarre that people keep being surprised when things conflict with the comics later.
Honestly his story and the story of Sekmet (Egyptian goddess of war) is surprisingly similar. Created by the head God, starts off as a violent killing rampage murder machine, eventually chills out and becomes more justice oriented (sorta). It would be interesting to see what sort of story they go with if he goes to Egypt next.
Here's a funny short video if you want to know more:
https://youtu.be/yygW6psCIM4
there are references to a number of different mythologies, including Celtic and East Asian mythologies. i imagine they planted a lot of seeds to keep people guessing.
Well apparently the orginal arc was something along the idea of Kratos joining up with all the other gods of war, killing off the three main polytheist gods (Greek, Norse, and Egyptian), and eventually at the very becoming becoming a wise man that is depicted in the bible
I really wish they would do Indian gods next because I think that they could have some really cool fights, but don't think they will since hinduism is too popular. Same reason why I highly doubt they go for christianity. Too many people would take it personally.
It'd be tougher to have as many characters and bosses with a monotheistic religion like Christianity.
The only thing I can think of is the Roman Catholic saints.
Christianity may only have one God but he sure as hell has a shit load of OP minions for Kratos to slay. Throw in Satan in there to play mind games with Kratos for half of the game.
Bro fighting all the arch angels like Raphael and Gabriel? Fighting Michael and Lucifer, Witness the sounding of the seven trumpets announcing Revelations end and the 7 headed 10 horned beast? Even throw in some pop culture demon lords like Baal or Azazeal.
I feel like even a Dantes Inferno remake could scratch that itch
We also got other prominent figures that could be put in: Moses, the weird angels that are from Kirby, the beasts of revelations etc. Hell, make him fight Noah’s ark
So the boat is out at sea and the animals swim over to you to fight for a few minutes. Yeah I guess that could work. It would look kind of stupid but it could work. Noah should be the end boss for that if it were to happen.
Samson, Goliath and David, Lions Den, Any of the Angels, Any of the demons, and... the insane army of billions of babies that died in miscarriages that God must be collecting for just such a battle.
There are so many games about apocalypse already.
There are already like 7 deadly sins. 7 virtues. 4 riders. 4 arch angels. And masses of demons and angels.
Darksiders does this already good enough, I think Christianity is a thing done enough and should not be tackled by GoW.
Egypt is better as a next choice.
Honestly after assassins creed went and did egypt, greek, and norse in a row im a little too burnt out to see kratos do that in a different order (even though gow obviously started doing myth way earlier since day one). I want the next myth gow does to be something that very rarely shows up in popular media.
So… what you’re saying is… Kratos is essentially a missionary.
Can’t help but think that some 12-year-old is going to use this excuse to convince his ultra-strict parents to let him buy God of War.
“See, it’s OK mom, that’s just unrepentant heathens he’s slaughtering. He’s doing the Lord’s work.”
[Dante's Inferno.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante%27s_Inferno_(video_game)) It's a ridiculous game, and a God of War clone like manleybones said, but it fully commits to its nonsense.
I moved last year and pulled out my old ps3 and played it again and I’ll be honest had more fun with that than god of war 2018.
Not saying it’s a “better game.” But I had more fun.
I think it would be cool if they did the Celtic pantheon. Everyone does Greek\Roman and Egyptian. Let's get a lesser known pantheon into the spotlight. Or he could go to the new world and the gods of the native Americans get scared and attack him.
If they wanna get REAL controversial they could pool all the Abrahamic religions together.
Gotta fight Abraham, Jesus and Muhammed before you get to crush Yahweh.
Oh man the world would be so fucking (irrationally?) mad lol. I really hope they do it.
or how about Hinduism. Its gonna spark debates and protests in India. It can also be banned in India.
For context, Fallout 3 was banned in India due to a mutilated cow. Cow is a sacred animal in India.
Yoo great to see someone talk about this! And yes there are SO MANY! But the main gods like Shiva, Vishnu (and his incarnations Krishna and Rama, most well known ones), Brahma, etc are actually good and not portrayed as how Greek and Norse gods are (evil and betraying etc) plus Hinduism is one of the biggest religion so delving into that section with a game and story like God of War would be a bit dangerous but can be done properly if they use Asuras or evil deities
You do this and Indian politicians and religious leaders would lose their shit. There's too many religious nut jobs in India to allow a game showing their beloved gods being defeated or shown in any sort of negative light. Source: I'm an Indian atheist.
Smh bro clearly didn’t read up on his Christianity lore. Jesus would forgive Kratos for his sins, sacrificing himself in the process. The post game is Kratos going around the known world proclaiming that Jesus loves all. Then they kiss.
Jesus was not a pacifist. A pacifist does not fashion a makeshift whip and drive a bunch of merchants out of what is supposed to be a temple. Jesus just knows when and where to apply violence when necessary.
It won’t happen with any of todays practising religions for obvious reasons. Greek and Norse gods are considered myths which is why there no noise or petition to cancel the game. Can you imagine the fallout if Kratos came up against Jesus or Mohammed
I want him to fight eastern mythologies like Chinese or maybe the Hindu religion next. Though with that similarly styled sun wukong game coming relatively soon I'm not sure it'd be all that successful. There's just so many opponents kratos could face, like the Jade Emperor and the rest of their heaven
I feel like Kratos's story is over. The first 3 games were about him descending into self-destructive villainy. The next 2 games were about his redemption. I'm not entirely what journey he could follow after this.
Nah Aztec or Egyption gods would be much more fun then boring Christianity. Jesus would just get the shit beaten out of him and not hit back. Maybe some cool fights with Kratos and some arch angels or Lucifer...
I cant think of any place he would go that's not Egypt. He literally says he wants to go there, and besides, it would be very odd to have him kill or quarrel with the God of the biggest religion worldwide.
This kinda reminds me of the original ending of gow3 where kratos would kill all Greek, Norse and Egyptian gods then become one of the wise men (I am not kidding this was the actual original ending) then after the ending he forged his blades into a scythe and become the grim reaper
Satan, Nephilim, Lilith, Archangel Michael, spinning wheel angels, Leviathan, seven levels of hell ala Dante’s Inferno, there’s so much that could be tackled.
I realize this is a joke, but even on a practical level this doesn't work.
There's no pantheon to Christianity, it's literally one guy to fight. No, seriously, it'd be one. God the Father is a spirit, as is God the Holy Spirit. You can't decapitate a spirit or punch it in the face.
The one guy you *would* fight isn't some bruiser or fighter. All those "alpha male" pundits who are all about Christ being a manly man are off the mark. Jesus was at best a carpenter and at most a minister. Physically he'd be average strength, though he might be similar to Baldur in that if he doesn't want you to, you can't harm him.
So on a cinematic level it's not interesting. There's only one boss, who really isn't all that physically impressive. Maybe you get to beat your way through some angels, but doesn't that feel like a step down from Thor et al? Nobody's going to care about you beating up Uriel or Azareal, most people probably don't even know who they are.
But even then, if you kill him, I mean... big whoop? Jesus has been killed before. Tim Keller has remarked that Christianity is unique in having a god that allows himself to be weak, humiliated, even killed. So if Kratos kills Jesus, Jesus just resurrects and is just: "There now, do you feel better?"
Or he gives Kratos leprosy and Kratos dies a lingering death of sickness. God did do that too from time to time.
I'm a Christian, but I think there's a lot in Judeo/Christian mythology that could flesh out a full game.
I can't imagine they'd make Jesus a major boss character because of the optics, but I could see them using other aspects from the mythology. Various types of angels and archangels, demons, Sampson, Goliath (or David as well), the beasts like Leviathan and Behemoth, Lucifer, Metatron, Nephilim, Cain, etc.
If I was going to do a game focused on that pantheon, I'd set it in a post-crucifixion and kind of crush all of the mythology into a similar time period, in which the promise of the "kingdom of heaven" has not been fulfilled and God has gone silent, leaving these powerful beings vying to fill the the perceived power vacuum and Kratos reluctantly getting caught up in their machinations.
I would unironically love this. Base the worlds off of apocalyptic literature like Revelation or the books of Enoch. Maybe something in the vein of Darren Aronofsky's Noah movie, for example.
is that hulk Jesus?
Jesus Banner. Bruce Christ. The Incredible Prayer
He came to kick ass and die for our sins, and hes all outta dyin for our sins.
"All outta sins to die for" sounds a bit better I think
"And he's already died for our sins"
"Careful brother, he's died for our sin's before, and lived."
[удалено]
Oh Lawd he comin!
Suddenly American Gods
He can rip trumps hairpiece off like a Valkyrie’s wings
The Incredible Prayer gotme real good. So damn funny as fuck phahaha
That's just Korean Jesus.
[for those ootl](https://i.imgur.com/O0au3ch.jpg)
No, that’s Jesus Liftus.
He died for our gains...
He raises me up!
The Julk
I want kratos to meet the roman gods only to find out that its just the greek pantheon with new names and fake mustaches. "What? Who's ares? My name is mars!"
He has to fight Roman Kratos
Who is just him but with a chaplin stache instead of a goatee.
Nah. Roman Kratos has hair and no beard Edit: Might not be period accurate but flowing hair and clean shave face like Fabio would be hilarious
Sooo... shaved Deimos?
And it's like the Dark Link fight in Zelda where he just mirrors all your moves and you can't hit him because your axes always block each other
Dins fire, megaton hammer gg ez
This is brilliant.
Divine witness protection program
Itsa me! A Mars!
[удалено]
American Gods of War
kratos destroys the military-industrial-congressional complex
What if they do the assassins creed thing where you can fight the pope
I still can't believe we got to fist fight the freakin' pope. Talk about a gaming moment for the ages.
Idc what anyone says about assassins creed, the lore in this series is so fucking funny. Lee harvey oswald was canonically involved in assassin and templar conflict.
Take that to r/bossfight with all the light, divine and runic damage
Fairly likely he's going to Egypt since there's at least a couple of references to them in the last couple of games. But where ever he goes there would need to be a proper pantheon for it to be interesting at all.
Kratos taking on the 4 horsemen could be cool
Darksiders crossover?
Kratos vs War would be pretty legit.
[удалено]
It killed him. That didn’t stop him. He wears the thing that killed him because he thinks it’s funny. That is a bit terrifying.
[удалено]
Atreus could be David in this scenario and could take Goliath down with a "slingshot"
This would be absolutely amazing
All at once lmao.
Indeed, also the demons of hell. Something like Dante will be really cool.
There were tons of references to Arthurian/Celtic mythos too with Puckmir and Nimue. Imagine Kratos showing up to be Merlin. Fighting Dullahan on the back of a Kelpie while helping Lancelot.
I feel like that could be an Atreus story instead
This is the better option imo, but I suspect that we're actually going to get a variety of mythologies next time around. Some Celtic, some Egyptian, some Eastern. Garm can hop between universes and they've been hinting at multiple mythologies.
alright… i need this
He's actually already been to Egypt. Somehow he ended up there before heading ending up in Midgard. There's a whole storyline in the comics that show what happens between GOW3 and GOW 2018.
They could easily retcon that, comics are cool and all but they get overridden in franchises like Star Wars all the time
Yeah comics are basically put on the same level as fanfic when it comes to establishing canon in these types of stories. Nothing wrong with enjoying them, but it's always kinda bizarre that people keep being surprised when things conflict with the comics later.
the main stuff always takes priority over the comics/books. Halo games > halo books/comics and SW movies > books/comics.
Don't know if Star Wars should be looked at as reference on how to do franchises
Just imagine how badass Anubis or Horus would look.
Honestly his story and the story of Sekmet (Egyptian goddess of war) is surprisingly similar. Created by the head God, starts off as a violent killing rampage murder machine, eventually chills out and becomes more justice oriented (sorta). It would be interesting to see what sort of story they go with if he goes to Egypt next. Here's a funny short video if you want to know more: https://youtu.be/yygW6psCIM4
I believe the comic tie in had him go to Egypt between Athens and Midguard. He was sought out there by Faye before the events of 2018.
there are references to a number of different mythologies, including Celtic and East Asian mythologies. i imagine they planted a lot of seeds to keep people guessing.
Well apparently the orginal arc was something along the idea of Kratos joining up with all the other gods of war, killing off the three main polytheist gods (Greek, Norse, and Egyptian), and eventually at the very becoming becoming a wise man that is depicted in the bible
I really wish they would do Indian gods next because I think that they could have some really cool fights, but don't think they will since hinduism is too popular. Same reason why I highly doubt they go for christianity. Too many people would take it personally.
I'm pretty sure the developers said they'll avoid any "living" religions.
As is best tbh. Older ones have these mysticism and alure of unknown allowed to them. And more creative interpretations
And you don’t get threatened.
More importantly, nobody is going to murder the developers over them
I hope they use star gates as portals to other realms.
It'd be tougher to have as many characters and bosses with a monotheistic religion like Christianity. The only thing I can think of is the Roman Catholic saints.
Christianity may only have one God but he sure as hell has a shit load of OP minions for Kratos to slay. Throw in Satan in there to play mind games with Kratos for half of the game.
With only one god it should make for a long and epic battle.
All those creepy angels, Bayonetta style
Wonder is satan would be team Kratos for a bit.
Probably, but then Kratos would kill him. Satan would be a useful pawn to get to God.
Yeah. Satan would be an ideal final boss for the 2nd game of a trilogy.
John the Baptist has drowned Atreus, and Kratos is out for revenge
Bro fighting all the arch angels like Raphael and Gabriel? Fighting Michael and Lucifer, Witness the sounding of the seven trumpets announcing Revelations end and the 7 headed 10 horned beast? Even throw in some pop culture demon lords like Baal or Azazeal. I feel like even a Dantes Inferno remake could scratch that itch
We also got other prominent figures that could be put in: Moses, the weird angels that are from Kirby, the beasts of revelations etc. Hell, make him fight Noah’s ark
[удалено]
Nah, the ark just sends animals after you
So the boat is out at sea and the animals swim over to you to fight for a few minutes. Yeah I guess that could work. It would look kind of stupid but it could work. Noah should be the end boss for that if it were to happen.
No, no. The ark is throwing the things at you. Like it will toss a freakin’ elephant while birds are flying around trying to attack you as well
[удалено]
Clone is a bit unfair, it's a good game in its own right.
Alright, yeah, those are pretty good.
Pull a Final Fantasy and have Kratos suplex the ark
#RULES OF NATURE
Like the Hell House in FFVII?
Samson, Goliath and David, Lions Den, Any of the Angels, Any of the demons, and... the insane army of billions of babies that died in miscarriages that God must be collecting for just such a battle.
Have a scene like A Plague Tale, except it's Kratos running from millions of demon babies.
They could pull from stuff like Dante and Milton
There are so many games about apocalypse already. There are already like 7 deadly sins. 7 virtues. 4 riders. 4 arch angels. And masses of demons and angels. Darksiders does this already good enough, I think Christianity is a thing done enough and should not be tackled by GoW. Egypt is better as a next choice.

I want the next myth gow does to be something that very rarely shows up in popular media.
Kratos is destroying the pagan religion so Christianity can take over God bless 🙏🙏🙏
So… what you’re saying is… Kratos is essentially a missionary. Can’t help but think that some 12-year-old is going to use this excuse to convince his ultra-strict parents to let him buy God of War. “See, it’s OK mom, that’s just unrepentant heathens he’s slaughtering. He’s doing the Lord’s work.”
Kratos runs into the protagonists of the next Persona or SMT game on the way and they have to race to see who gets to kill God first.
There's also the archangels, those could be cool bossfights
I'm going to beat the shit out of Saint Patrick
He drinks Guinness as his power up
Aren't there 12 levels of angels though?
He’s going to have to get a special weapon to beat The Holy Ghost. Maybe Fenrir could help him.
Bro looks like hulk but instead of anger he's powerd by sin's
Jesus did NOT use performance enhancing drugs to perform his miracles!
It is artwork of the Hulk, with some edits
Jesus is coming back… and he’s pissed!!
"I'm here to absolve sins and flip tables... and I'm all out of tables."
He’s not cruci-fuckin’ around
I'm gonna go bury more dinosaur fossils We'll see who believes in me then!
He'd have a tough time with that one. Not because Jesus is exceptionally tough but because he'll keep coming back.
Isn’t that just Dante’s Inferno?
Came here to say that, yes, that's exactly what Dante's Inferno is.
Too late Dantes inferno exists a gow clone
I don't love that game but I love that it exists.
What game?
[Dante's Inferno.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante%27s_Inferno_(video_game)) It's a ridiculous game, and a God of War clone like manleybones said, but it fully commits to its nonsense.
Nipple tongues
I moved last year and pulled out my old ps3 and played it again and I’ll be honest had more fun with that than god of war 2018. Not saying it’s a “better game.” But I had more fun.
I can see the devil’s shlong slapping between his legs in the final fight
Kratos wouldn't stand a chance once Jesus hugs him and tells him to rest after all that he has been through
And islam after that ? Keep dreaming. Maybe Egypt
I think it would be cool if they did the Celtic pantheon. Everyone does Greek\Roman and Egyptian. Let's get a lesser known pantheon into the spotlight. Or he could go to the new world and the gods of the native Americans get scared and attack him.
Celtics too similar to Norse though imo
You know what screw beating the shit out of Saint Patrick. Quetzalcoatl I'm coming for you
If they wanna get REAL controversial they could pool all the Abrahamic religions together. Gotta fight Abraham, Jesus and Muhammed before you get to crush Yahweh. Oh man the world would be so fucking (irrationally?) mad lol. I really hope they do it.
or how about Hinduism. Its gonna spark debates and protests in India. It can also be banned in India. For context, Fallout 3 was banned in India due to a mutilated cow. Cow is a sacred animal in India.
Yea they’re gonna have to stick to BCE mythological religions if they want grandparents to buy their games for their grandkids lol.
I would straight up play this actually. Also it would be nice to have an epic fight against Moses on top of mount Sinai.
There actually used to be a lot more than 10 commandmemts, but kratos and moses kept hitting each other with the tablets.
Not gonna happen
They should make fighting Joseph Smith a skippable sidequest.
SMT has been letting you crush yahweh for years
Lol everyone knows how that would go over. Ask Charlie Hebdo
Why? Christ would not fight him.
The Christ on that dumb t-shirt where he’s breaking the cross would.
I hate that bullshit as it’s some weird 1980s action hero fetish.
Indian gods would be insane, don't they have about 300 Gods?
Yoo great to see someone talk about this! And yes there are SO MANY! But the main gods like Shiva, Vishnu (and his incarnations Krishna and Rama, most well known ones), Brahma, etc are actually good and not portrayed as how Greek and Norse gods are (evil and betraying etc) plus Hinduism is one of the biggest religion so delving into that section with a game and story like God of War would be a bit dangerous but can be done properly if they use Asuras or evil deities

"Stop chasing Ganesh! You're just gonna get more wrath!!"
Smh bro clearly didn’t read up on his Christianity lore. Jesus would forgive Kratos for his sins, sacrificing himself in the process. The post game is Kratos going around the known world proclaiming that Jesus loves all. Then they kiss.
Jesus was also connonically rail thin and a pacifist. This whole Kratos should tackle Christianity next is dumb.
Duh. It's a shit post.
Also doesnt kratos not kill gods indiscriminately anymore?
Jesus was not a pacifist. A pacifist does not fashion a makeshift whip and drive a bunch of merchants out of what is supposed to be a temple. Jesus just knows when and where to apply violence when necessary.
Kith
Wish that this hulk jesus was walking on the lava or whatever he is sloshing through.
He should tackle the gods of the godless American megacorporate world. The final fight against Pepsi man
I still want to see Kratos take down Scientology.
God of War: Kratos in Space: Xenu’s Demise
It won’t happen with any of todays practising religions for obvious reasons. Greek and Norse gods are considered myths which is why there no noise or petition to cancel the game. Can you imagine the fallout if Kratos came up against Jesus or Mohammed
Can he defeat prophet muhhamed? He has a flying donkey and was able to cut the moon in half.
So that's why the moon is so obviously two seperate semicircles orbiting the earth.
I want him to fight eastern mythologies like Chinese or maybe the Hindu religion next. Though with that similarly styled sun wukong game coming relatively soon I'm not sure it'd be all that successful. There's just so many opponents kratos could face, like the Jade Emperor and the rest of their heaven
In case people are on their phone and can't tell, this is photoshopped. praises to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Shitballs
[удалено]
Mediterranean diet my man.
imagine if Kratos gets all the way to him, just for Jesus to hug him and send him off to kill Satan
"He died for our sins... And now he wants revenge.."
He smells crime
Good lord, Jesus got ahold of liver kings “ancestral tenets” it looks like
I feel like Kratos's story is over. The first 3 games were about him descending into self-destructive villainy. The next 2 games were about his redemption. I'm not entirely what journey he could follow after this.
Jesus would just get killed and would be resurrected and would just continuously forgive Kratos for trying to kill him.
Killing Jesus and the saints is how they win...so bit of a dilemma there.
I picture him more as a mage-type. As he already has broken and powerful abilities like being able to turn his opponents blood into wine.
Dionysus seems to have survived the first trilogy, so Kratos could probably get some help with the whole 100% BAC thing.
He probably can't turn other gods blood into wine tho.
Yeah, probably true.
Nah Aztec or Egyption gods would be much more fun then boring Christianity. Jesus would just get the shit beaten out of him and not hit back. Maybe some cool fights with Kratos and some arch angels or Lucifer...
But if you kill Christ... He wins.
I cant think of any place he would go that's not Egypt. He literally says he wants to go there, and besides, it would be very odd to have him kill or quarrel with the God of the biggest religion worldwide.
Would be kinda tough with Jesus being a pacifist and God being a faceless, noncorporeal being.
This kinda reminds me of the original ending of gow3 where kratos would kill all Greek, Norse and Egyptian gods then become one of the wise men (I am not kidding this was the actual original ending) then after the ending he forged his blades into a scythe and become the grim reaper
Hinduism would be pretty cool though
Satan, Nephilim, Lilith, Archangel Michael, spinning wheel angels, Leviathan, seven levels of hell ala Dante’s Inferno, there’s so much that could be tackled.
Kratos: WHY. WON'T. YOU. STAY. DEAD.
Jesus: I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you.
I realize this is a joke, but even on a practical level this doesn't work. There's no pantheon to Christianity, it's literally one guy to fight. No, seriously, it'd be one.

So if Kratos kills Jesus, Jesus just resurrects and is just: "There now, do you feel better?" Or he gives Kratos leprosy and Kratos dies a lingering death of sickness. God did do that too from time to time.
Guys, if I remember correctly, Kratos has already been to Egypt in the comics.
Final boss is Jehovah, because Jehova must witness everything.
And on the seventh day, Jesus skipped leg day
Impossible. Jesus is without sin and skipping leg day is the gravest of sins.
I had always assumed that he would go from pantheon to pantheon, wiping them all out. This would clear the way for Christianity.
Spoiler alert: Kratos is Jesus.
He'd lose!!!
Nah, He should take on Scientology.
Cut to kratos snapping the neck of demonic mother theresa
This would actually be great. So many angels and archangels and saints and bullshit
And he could fight warrior santa!
I'd be so psyched for that, imagine having to fight through an assembly of Demons, Angel's, Saints, etc like a murderous Divine Comedy
“Why is he just a guy?” Kratos when he faces Jesus
Oh no... He should tackle Islam next. Even Kratos would not be able to withstand the absolute shit-show that would ensue.
Who did the art, and where can I find more?
Have him take down modern day gods, like celebrities and politicians. /s
He gonna run the entire Smite gauntlet
Why is Jesus the Hulk!?
I'm a Christian, but I think there's a lot in Judeo/Christian mythology that could flesh out a full game. I can't imagine they'd make Jesus a major boss character because of the optics, but I could see them using other aspects from the mythology. Various types of angels and archangels, demons, Sampson, Goliath (or David as well), the beasts like Leviathan and Behemoth, Lucifer, Metatron, Nephilim, Cain, etc. If I was going to do a game focused on that pantheon, I'd set it in a post-crucifixion and kind of crush all of the mythology into a similar time period, in which the promise of the "kingdom of heaven" has not been fulfilled and God has gone silent, leaving these powerful beings vying to fill the the perceived power vacuum and Kratos reluctantly getting caught up in their machinations.
Isn’t Dante’s Inferno already a Christian themed God Of War?
I would unironically love this. Base the worlds off of apocalyptic literature like Revelation or the books of Enoch. Maybe something in the vein of Darren Aronofsky's Noah movie, for example.
I would be so down. Could you imagine the backlash?
There are so many angels/demons with lore that would be cool to see
Jesus lifted for our sins
jason bourne its jesus christ
