After years of rumors that the next pantheon God of War would be taking on would be Egypt, it turns out they were right, they just missed that others were part of it too.
God of War Laufey was announced as the final part of PlayStation State of Play – with 20 minutes of footage being shown off. The upcoming PS5 game has Kratos’ departed wife Faye wake up in a new realm after the events of God of War 2018’s opening. The game itself looks more action-heavy akin to the Greek saga, but this very much is not set in Greece, and eventually, the answer was revealed to us.
During the gameplay segment, Faye comes into contact with a distinctly Egyptian-looking foe, who was identified by her companion as Sekhmet, the Egyptian warrior goddess. However, said companion very much did not look Egyptian.
Turns out, Faye has ended up in the Everywhen, which a follow-up PlayStation Blog post describes as “where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic.” To drive that home, the blog also identifies that the enemy Faye has a scrap with is Begtse, a Dharmapala who is the lord of war in Tibetan Buddhism.
The blog continues, “The Everywhen is the birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns, a transcendent realm above those we’ve come to know. A location in which gods and creatures from different mythologies come together, and not always in harmonious coexistence.” So yes, we are getting an Egyptian God of War, but it just so happens to also be a God of War that spans multiple pantheons.
