this is a whole year apart now

12/3/24 compared to 12/3/25

wild 💔

Wait, it’s not mimir?

I have spoken.

A female/fem presenting version of Kratos would still be bald or at least have a buzz cut. I am tired of people taking the cowardice approach whenever gender swapping characters. She would be a BUTCH LESBIAN and still have a BIOLOGICAL SON/DAUGHTER because she's a GODDESS and the LAWS OF NATURE DO NOT APPLY TO HER. Also implied with the lesbian part but I still feel like it needs to be said, she'll still have beautiful WIVES and be BAD at talking about her FEELINGS.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Also I am a lesbian irl so I am infact an expert and any criticisms must be worded gently or else I WILL cry.

Now this... this is very good. 

Egypt in by itself a very fascinating culture and society from start to finish. The overall set up with Set, and Horus, the whole civil war/the Succession War. I am reminded of Assassin’s Creed Origins which I feel could be very useful in such an project. Especially it   Discovery Mode. 

(I try not to spoiler too much of Ragnarok, but no promises.) 

Nephthys’ as Kratos wife and Atreus as Anubis works very well in compared to the Norse duology of Faye/Laufey and Atreus Giant name of Loki. I can honestly see it starting much like 2018/Ragnarok, Set himself showing up at Kratos’ frontdoor, maybe somewhere in Upper Egypt, with some of his men,  wanting for Nephthys to come out, making an sly reference to the ‘Ghost of Sparta’, pushing Kratos’ buttons and starting  the first big boss fight.  

Of course, Nephthys alive and well, and so Kratos is rightfully upset at her secrets and possible nefarious motives of him and their son, which  Nephthys  denies the latter and she was only trying to get away from her former husband/brother before meeting Kratos. It does makes it a interesting dynamic o the whole family together and all the clear tensions and problems of it at the start.

On Atreus on being Anubis, it works very well with him being Loki, but also very different. it odd, Anubis was one of the most important Gods of Egypt, but there few myths about him. Him talking to dead gods like Osiris is a very good plotpoint not unlike the Norse duology. Like going to Duat, or the Field of Reeds. 

Set and Horus as parallels to Old Kratos is also very good.  Horus in particular, even at his worst, wants to Avenged his father Osiris and honor his mother Isis. 

I also see them letting go, which is a big theme in  Ragnarok, which Set, Horus, and Isis all succeed in letting go. (As you said, Isis’ her ambitions, Set his fighting, and Horus his pride.) 

Also given this is Egypt, I can see there being far more Greek influence and tied ins of the original   Greek Era. There a long history between Greece and Egypt. See Kratos and his family forced go to Tahpanhes, Naucratis, Heracleion, or Cyrene (Something he want to avoid at all costs.), and Atreus seeing an fresco, or Temple of the Old Kratos as the God of War, and/or his rampage across Greece, or Greeks fleeing in terror of seeing the older Kratos. 

As for allies, I think Hathor could work as one of the group and one of the most powerful ones. Thoth too as a strictly role of  neutrality at the start of it. Bastet is seeking to place Ra back in power, but not necessarily allied with Set. Or turn thr tables it to ally with Horus.  (Never mind Sekhmet...) Min, the God of Fertility, is one of Horus main allies, possible half brother, or a old lover to Isis as well as Horus own four sons.  The thing about Egypt is the sheer number of Gods, big and minor. 

Set meanwhile has a lot of foreign  gods behind him. (Set the God of foreigners. So see a lot of Near Easterns and Libyans.)  

  Meanwhile, Ra is just chilling on his Solar Barque, that can rival even Olympus. 

I even just loved the idea of Kratos going to get cities of Ancient Egypt that can rival, or even put to shame those of Greece. Thebes and Memphis, the  lost city of Thonis or Amarna,  Luxor,  Abydos,  Hermopolis, the Valley of the Kings, the Giza Plateau and more. 

God of War in Egypt

I kind of wish that the God of War sequel series had taken place in Egypt instead of Midgard. Aside from just loving Egyptian Mythology and it being severely underrated, I really think it could have worked thematically with God of War.

Let me explain.

So, the most famous myth in Egyptian Mythology, and arguably the most important, is the succession crisis between Horus and Set. Basically, Horus is the son of Osiris, the previous King of the Gods, whom Set, Osiris’ brother, murdered and took the throne for his own.

But, it’s not so cut and dry. See, the original King of the Gods was Ra, the creator deity, who was forced out by Isis, mother of Horus and wife of Osiris, and then forced him to name Osiris his heir. Set was Ra’s greatest general and oathsworn warrior, and by all rights should have been king after Ra stepped down. So Horus’ claim isn’t as ironclad as it appears.

So, why does this work?

Because it’s a legitimate divine WAR. A war where no one is clearly in the right or wrong, and both sides have to stand on the strength of their morals, rather than being ruled by a generic fantasy Evil King you need to rebel against.

So, picture this for the God of War sequel series:

Kratos makes his way to Egypt after the fiasco in Greece, and there he meets Nephthys, the sister of Isis and a Goddess of Night, the Dead, and Air. Nephthys is in hiding as she doesn’t want to get involved in the war between her family. She knows who Kratos is, he’s got a reputation, and hides her identity as a Goddess, tending to his wounds. They end up falling in love and having a child together, whom they name Atreus. But Nephthys gives him a different name in secret.

She names him Anubis.

When Atreus is young, the family is thrown into the Succession War when Nephthys’ identity is revealed. This obviously pisses of Kratos because he’s still in his “hates all the Gods” thing and thinks Nephthys used him. But he still loves her, and despite the tension the three of them try to keep themselves together and try to stay alive in the midst of this divine war.

They don’t really like either side of the war, and both occupy a somewhat villainous position in the beginning. Horus is an arrogant jerk and Set is a brutal warrior. Both are meant to be a parallel to Kratos as well, Set having a similar backstory and warrior mindset and Horus emodying the brutal hateful anger at everything that made Kratos destroy the Olympian pantheon.

Basically, Atreus/Anubis in these games would be Kratos’ opposite. He’s gentle and weak where Kratos is brutal and powerful. Atreus’ unique ability is to communicate with the dead, drawing power from them and laying their spirits to rest. It’s this power that makes him indispensable to the war, as he gains the ability to do the same with dead Gods as well, including Osiris.

Ultimately, it’s revealed that Apophis, the Chaos Serpent, has been manipulating both sides this whole time in an effort to throw the world into chaos. Isis finally relents her mbition, Horus unbend his pride, and Set stops fighting.

They end up putting Ra back on the Throne for the coming conflict with Apophis, and the gods recognize Atreus as Anubis, one of their pantheon. Kratos is forced to learn to trust Gods and realize that Ra is not the tyrant Zeus was. He forgives Nephthys for her deception and accepts his son as a God, and they work together against Apophis.

I dunno. I just think it could work.
