God of War Rumours Suggest Kratos May Wield Egyptian Khopesh in Next Game
Kratos’ Norse saga may have ended with God of War Ragnarök, but rumours continue to swirl about where his journey will head next. A fresh leak claims the iconic Spartan may add an unexpected new weapon to his arsenal: the Egyptian khopesh, a curved sword steeped in mythology.
Insider Points to Khopesh
According to Insider Gaming, Sony Santa Monica is currently working on a new mainline God of War title. Sources allege Kratos will wield the khopesh, suggesting a significant evolution of his combat style.
The weapon, historically associated with power and divinity in Egyptian culture, could mark a shift away from the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos that have defined him for decades.
The outlet stopped short of confirming that Kratos will travel to Egypt itself. This opens several possibilities: the new God of War game could serve as a full dive into Egyptian mythology, or Kratos could remain in the Norse world while facing invading gods from other pantheons. Such a direction would align with Ragnarök’s ending, which positioned Kratos as a protector — a role that could pit him against new divine rivals.
Still Just a Rumour
Neither Sony nor Santa Monica Studio has officially confirmed the next entry in the series, nor its setting. The khopesh leak remains speculation, and given the studio’s multiple projects in development, official details may still be some way off.
What It Could Mean
- A new weapon would mark a drastic shift for Kratos’ combat identity.
- The story could expand into Egyptian mythology or frame gods from multiple pantheons as threats.
- Sony’s silence suggests fans may have to wait before learning Kratos’ true path.
For now, speculation continues to mount — but if true, the khopesh could herald a bold new chapter for one of gaming’s most enduring heroes.
