God of Warhas a fairly interesting history as a franchise, with the series expanding intoNorse mythologyin its 2018 reboot, a far cry from the Greek roots theGod of Warfranchise was used to at the time. However, that change led to fans asking what other religions exist in theGod of Warworld, and Game Director Cory Barlog has confirmed a fairly interesting one.
Replying to a fan on Twitter, Barlog confirmed that the world ofGod of Warincludes Christianity. Of course, that raises some interesting questions about the franchise, and while it’s unlikely that players will ever see Christianity addressed in a game series as violent asGod of War, largely due tothe controversy it would cause, it would be interesting to see how it would be represented in the game.

It also raises questions about what other world religions exist as part of the world. The idea of each known religion being represented in some way is interesting on its own, but even more so when considering how those worlds would mingle together. Previously, Barlog stated that theGod of War series could visit Egyptian or Mayan culturesin future entries, and there are likely plenty of other possibilities that have been considered as well.
In general, it isn’t a shocking revelation– many fans had assumed that theGod of Waruniverse was more than it seemed after Kratos moved from Greek to Norse mythology. In fact, the way that the series now approaches religion, even if it isn’t addressed directly in-game, is interesting. How the process of moving between the worlds of different religions works would be interesting to see, especially if a potentialGod of War 2showed Atreus, Kratos' son, move the process as his father had. It would be a wonderful opportunity for unique character development.
Insight into theGod of Warworld is interesting to see. Hopefully, future entries in the revamped series will reveal more information about the world as a whole, and not just the individual mythologies themselves. It isn’t clear what that would look like, but it may be something fans appreciate.
God of Waris available now for PS4.
