I think it'll have to be set in Egypt. It's the only place with a recognisable set of gods ready to go. I don't see them using anyone obscure they'll want characters well known in pop culture.

The setting also lends itself well to the series visually and would be a welcome change from snowy landscapes.

Rocketisleague139d ago

Ragnorok pointed to Egypt already?

Nacho_Z139d ago

Makes sense, I haven't finished it yet so wouldn't know.

S2Killinit138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

How about German.? I bet they have some wicked gods. There is also Persian, but theirs is not one with many gods but one god with two sides as far as I understand it. They do have a lot of mythical heroes and “divs”. There is also Japanese gods and demons from shintoism.

Santouryuu139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

I cant delete my own reply..

purple101139d ago

You are right I looked into it, ( a very short google search)

There are other sets of gods like the Indian ones And this setting would be ripe for a game landscape but as you say, the gods are not recognisable to lots of people.

There are Native American set of gods-
And that landscape would also be ripe for a game , but But there not recognisable either

Egypt it is

Psychonaut85139d ago

(Spoiler) when you fight Tyr repeatedly in Valhalla, he pulls out what looks to be Egyptian Kopis blades for one fight, what I believe are Mayan obsidian edged swords for another, and what looks like a Chinese dao (or maybe a heavily stylized) katana. I feel like maybe those are teasers for possible settings

Rocketisleague139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

There are...alot of references to Tyr travelling to Egypt in both games. In the recent DLC there are pyramids in the background of valhalla. I'm gonna take a guess it'll be Egypt with all the references, I would like to see some eastern ones myself but Egypt seems the most likely candidate. Would love a shinto one if there weren't so many Japanese mythology based games already.

a egypt setting would be siiick

their mythology is the most interesting

darthv72139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

I can see them going with Egyptian, but the only issue would be... how? The Norse mythology takes place in the iron age, same as the Greek. After in fact, but Egyptian mythology takes place even earlier in the bronze age. They would have to create some sort of time travel narrative so Kratos could go back several thousand years to deal with the likes of Ra, Seth, Anubus, and Osiris.

I know its a game, they can do pretty much whatever they want but having two game mythologies in the right order would seem to mean they would try to keep that order. So after the iron age comes the late antiquity age which is where Arabian and Slavic mythologies are part. Neither of which are as well known as something like Egyptian.

Nacho_Z139d ago

I take your point, but if there was a cutscene which went "what's that, some kind of portal!?" and then Kratos appears in ancient Egypt personally I wouldn't question it or care in the slightest.

MehmetAlperTR139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

Please go to Egypt... Enough of norse...

isarai139d ago

Nah do something new, I acknowledge they are good games but I just want to see SSM tackle a new IP

jznrpg137d ago

Rumors are Cory Barlog has been on working on one for sometime now

Psychonaut85136d ago

Yeah I think he even hinted at it himself, and him not being primary director on Ragnarok would seem to bear that out. I love his work, would be so cool to see a new IP from Santa Monica with him at the helm.

im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal

Cacabunga1d 4h ago

If what they are doing is that good, what’s the point of hiding the true story?

anast1d 8h ago

She's a caricature of the shareholders.

PRIMORDUS1d 6h ago

"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.

__y2jb14h ago

If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

anast13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

@Y2

Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.

And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.

__y2jb10h ago

@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.

Leeroyw1d 4h ago

I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.

Profchaos1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.

Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote

PRIMORDUS22h ago

I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.

anast13h ago

"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"

Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago

Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.

Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.

She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.

One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.

TheGamingHounds1d 8h ago

disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds

RoadRacer1d 7h ago

imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
