New God of War game could have been set in Egyptian mythology

Sony at their E3 keynote announced that Kratos and the God of War series was coming back, but this time in the world of Norse mythology. However director Cory Barlog at a panel at E3 has said that Egyptian mythology is the other setting the game could have had. “ Egyptian mythology was the other one and half the team was way into that,” “ All of them had great reasons, I think for me, as I looked at both of those, Egyptian mythology is about the pharaohs as embodiments of the gods on earth and there’s a lot more civilisation- it’s less isolated, less barren. I think at this time, we really wanted to focus on Kratos”.
