Rumors are circulating that a new God of War game is in the works, and its central character isn't who you think it is.

In the report, it was noted that a new God of War game was in the works, but this installment won't feature Kratos as the central character. Instead, it will star Faye, Kratos' deceased wife. This rumor is backed up by a 2023 FandomWire report and a leak from reputable insider Nate the Hate, which IGN confirmed.

The game will reportedly also feature various mythologies, unlike previous God of War games, which solely focused on Greek and Norse mythology. The report confirmed that East Asian mythologies, such as Chinese and Japanese mythologies, will be included in the story.
